Play Overview
Blue Prince (2025) is a puzzle game where you search a mansion for Room 46, but the building is constantly changing. Each day, you enter the mansion and choose which rooms are on the other side of each door you open, then scour them for clues to inform your next visit to the mansion. This complicates the usual escape room challenge with the need to not only pick the rooms you want to enter but also ensure they offer further doors to continue your journey to other rooms.
You play a young man who inherits a strange mansion after a death in your family. To keep it, however, you must complete a challenge set by the previous owner: find and enter Room 46. The only problem? There are only 45 rooms in the mansion. You enter the mansion each morning, only to find the rooms shift and change places. It's up to you to gradually piece together the mystery of the mansion and uncover the secrets of the past.
Play involves searching each room for clues and useful items. As you pass through each door, you must choose to place one of three rooms on the other side. These need to be rooms you want to investigate, but must also serve to connect through to other rooms you need to access. At the end of the day, everything is reset and you start again the next day with the information you learned.
Initially, you quickly find yourself running out of doors, or finding items or puzzles you don't know how to use or solve. However, as you explore more rooms over several days, you slowly uncover important information and make better-informed decisions about which rooms to enter and where to place them. In this way, you're eventually able to make it far into the mansion and solve the overall mystery at its heart.
The result is a game that challenges you to explore and figure things out for yourself through experimentation with the mansion's architecture, careful exploration and acute observation. It's a game that rewards curiosity and the joy of returning to a puzzle with new knowledge that sheds an entirely new light on its solution.
