First Door Code

Early in the game, you’ll encounter a locked door inside your Aunt’s house that’s essential for progressing the story. The code isn’t hidden in plain sight but requires some exploration.

On the windowsill of the room, look closely at a photo frame. The year displayed on this photo serves as the door code, which is 1974. Spotting these subtle environmental hints is part of the immersive puzzle-solving experience.

Code: 1974

Second Door Code

The next locked door also lies within your home but requires more detective work to find the right code. It involves paying attention to small details scattered around the property.

Look for four garden gnomes placed in different spots:

• Two gnomes located in the front yard
• One gnome tucked in the left corner of the backyard
• One gnome perched on the right side of the roof

Examine the bottom of each gnome to find numbers. Combining these digits gives you the code needed to unlock the door. Note that sometimes the order can slightly vary, so try both 9271 and 9217 to see which works.

Possible codes: 9271 or 9217

Mansion Secret Door Code

During the mansion section, a secret door blocks your progress. The clue to unlock it comes from an unexpected place outside the building.

Check the license plate on the car you cleaned outside the mansion. The sequence of numbers there is the key code.

Secret door code: 4916

Mansion Safe Code

Inside the mansion, safes often require multiple-stage puzzles. Behind some paintings, numbers are discreetly stashed that you’ll need to gather.

Reveal each hidden number behind the paintings and arrange them correctly to unlock the safe.

Safe code: 371830

Storage Space Safe Code

The safe in the Storage Space follows another environmental clue trail. Look around the large closet opposite the safe for an important hint.

Two alarm clocks rest on top of the closet. The numbers displayed on these clocks combine to form the safe’s unlocking code.

Safe code: 438959

Police Station Safe Code

The police station safe is one of the more complex locks, requiring knowledge of three specific room numbers.

Find a note on a bulletin board that shows images referencing different rooms in the station. Your task is to visit each depicted room.

Combine the numbers corresponding to these rooms in the exact order given by the note:

Room	Number
Chief Room	13
Waiting Room	02
Phone Room	67

Safe code: 130267

The Fight for Gold Safe Code

During the “Fight for Gold” episode, a safe in Janusz House demands a code derived from specific locations encountered earlier in the storyline.

A Post-it note on the back lists a particular sequence of important places:

Church → Fire Station → Mural → Basement → Helena → Safe

Use this positional order to calculate the safe code accurately.

Safe code: 27-32-58

Basement Door Code

Another locked door can be found in the basement area. The code here is simpler to find, placed discreetly yet visibly.

Look beneath the doormat right in front of the door, and you’ll discover the code 4927 , enabling you to pass through without delay.

Side Job Codes:

For side jobs, codes matter as well. The customer service office within the side job area has a door code displayed on playing cards.
