Blue Prince has innovated the puzzle genre of video games with a mix of roguelike gameplay built into it. There is only so much you can do in a day. There are no time limits, but steps are counted when you go through the different rooms that you have drafted. Learning to optimize your steps can help you reach more ranks in the game. Today, we give you methods and rooms that are important to get more steps in Blue Prince.

There are various items that you can receive in the game, found through rooms and a bit of curiosity. Items help you break trunks, unlock doors, and get more steps. Most of the items that help you get more steps in Blue Prince are food items that are scattered throughout the game.

Food items such as the orange (2 steps), apple (2 steps), and banana (3 steps) provide you with more steps to explore or create a new path in the drafts. Often, you will be stuck due to rolling bad drafts—rooms that do not have extra doors or doors in the wrong direction. This might lead you to nowhere and waste all your day’s resources. More steps help you create a backup plan in case your drafts don’t roll well.

Additionally, you can find the sleep mask in bedrooms, guest rooms, bunk bedrooms, and the commissary, which provides you with 5 extra steps every time you enter a bedroom (including guest and bunk bedrooms). Equipping this item helps you regain a lot of steps in a day.
