Enter the Queen’s Mansion and arrive at the dining area. Once you reach there, you will spot several silver platters, each lying on top of a table. These platters are nothing but a puzzle, because the Queen will soon challenge you to find a key that is hidden beneath one of these items.

However, you get limited tries to guess the key because, after some attempts, the Queen will come and shuffle the plates. That makes the simple task a challenging one.

Once you are in the dining room, follow these step-by-step instructions to obtain the key:

  • Start by random guessing by selecting a few platters.
  • Repeat this process one more time. That will make the queen reshuffle the plates.
  • Next, closely examine the bottom of each plate to locate a white creature.
  • Once you find the platter with the creature, interact with it.
  • Afterward, you get to ride over the table, and it will move all across the room, striking down the silver platters. This process will reveal the exit key.
  • Finally, claim the key to mark the objective.

That was all about finding the key hidden under dinner plates in Chapter 2 of Deltarune.
