Here’s How to Solve the Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince

While opening the Blue Door was not as simple as dodging Dupe in Doors, the Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince are a whole other tricky challenge. Players enter a room that features four untitled paintings. Solving the Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince is essential to unlocking two chests and gaining access to the elusive Room 8. However, drafting the Gallery itself is rare and only becomes available after reaching both the Antechamber and Room 46.

Here’s our detailed guide on how to solve the Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince.

How to Solve All Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince

When you finally draft the Gallery, you’ll find four paintings created by the game’s dedicatee, Christopher Manson. Each painting has a blank title, and your task is to name them correctly using the frames provided. Solving the puzzles will unlock the two chests in the center of the room.

The paintings provide visual and contextual clues to their titles. The key to solving them lies in observing the details and understanding the wordplay. The titles are five, six, seven, and eight letters long, and all are related to the concept of “thinking.”

Thick Gallery Painting Solution

The first painting, with a five-letter title, shows the word “thick” written on a pond, surrounded by a pair of handcuffs and a spotlight. While most of the elements are distractions, the key lies in the word itself.

The word “thick” is written in bold letters, except for the last letter, which is a thin “K.” This subtle detail gives you the answer: THINK.

This title also serves as a hint for the other paintings, as all their solutions are synonyms of “think.”

Wagons Gallery Painting Solution

The second painting, with a six-letter title, depicts two mirrored wagons filled with red objects, such as a rose, a stop sign, an apple, and a fire hydrant. A large letter “P” is painted on one of the wagons.

The solution lies in interpreting the scene. The “P” is ON RED objects, but since the wagons are mirrored, you need to reverse the “RED” part. When you mirror “P ON RED,” you get the answer: PONDER.

Eyes Gallery Painting Solution

The third painting, with a seven-letter title, is filled with eyeballs and a few key words: “ACTUAL” on a sign, “GENU” on a bottle (short for “genuine”), and a table made of the word “VERI” (the Latin root for “truth”).

These words are all synonyms for “REAL.” Adding the eyeballs to the concept of “real” gives you the answer: REALIZE.

Infinity Room Gallery Painting Solution

The final painting, with an eight-letter title, features an infinity symbol in a room filled with various objects, including a fin, pins, a skin rug, and bins labeled with sins. The infinity symbol itself resembles a sideways eight.

To solve this puzzle, combine the elements in the room. The objects all contain the letters “IN,” and the infinity symbol ties into the number eight. Putting it all together gives you the answer: RUMINATE.

Rewards for Solving All Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince

Once you correctly name the paintings and solved all the Gallery Puzzles in Blue Prince, the two chests in the center of the room will unlock. The first two answers will open the first chest, while the second two answers will unlock the second chest.

The first chest contains standard rewards, such as coins or gems. However, the second chest holds Key 8, a crucial item that unlocks a door leading to Room 8. This room functions similarly to the Secret Garden Key, allowing you to draft Room 8 once the door is unlocked.
