If you're trying to win your first full run of Blue Prince, buckle in—it's a long ride. You’ll need patience, luck, and the ability to open a lot of fancy doors. Here’s a simple, step-by-step rundown of how to get that sweet, sweet first win.
Step 1: Prep Work That Actually Matters
Before worrying about Room 46, unlock a few things to make your life easier:
Orchard Code (1128): Head behind the campsite, enter the code, and get 20 extra steps every day.
Gemstone Cavern: Solve the breaker box puzzle to earn two gems daily.
Draft Smart: Build rooms on the bottom half of the map early on. These rooms usually don’t need keys and help you stockpile supplies.
Step 2: Unlock the Antechamber
The big locked room you need is called the Antechamber, and it’s sealed shut from three sides. You only need to unlock one of the three to move forward.
East Side (Right Door):
Find and draft the Great Hall. One of the six side doors has a lever inside that opens the east Antechamber door.South Side (Bottom Door):
Draft the Greenhouse, but the lever will be broken. Find a Broken Lever in random rooms like the Aquarium, Security Room, or Workshop. Repair it at the Greenhouse to unlock the bottom door.West Side (Left Door):
Use the Secret Garden Key (a rare item from puzzles, chests, or vendors). Draft a room in Column 1 or 5, use the key, and enter the Secret Garden. Rotate the wind vanes so they all point west. A secret door will open—inside is the west lever.
Pull any of these levers to open one Antechamber door and you’re in.
Step 3: Unlock the Foundation Elevator
Inside the Antechamber, grab the Basement Key from the pedestal. Take it to your Foundation Room (you should have one built by now).
Build a room above the Foundation with a linking door.
Go upstairs and pull the lever behind the wall. This permanently activates the elevator.
Ride it down and use the Basement Key to unlock the door.
Welcome to the Underground.
Step 4: Clear the Underground
Push carts around to press a green button on the wall. This reveals the Rotating Gear Puzzle. But it’s blocked by a minecart. Now you need to find a way behind it.
Option A: Use the Tomb
Unlock the West Gate by using a Breaker Box and building a Garage in Column 1.
Draft and enter the Tomb.
Click seven statues in the order shown on stained glass windows from the Chapel (Roman numerals).
Go deeper, find a lever, and pull it to move the minecart. Done.
Option B: Drain the Fountain
Draft a Pool, then a Pump Room.
Use the pumps and valves to drain the fountain (permanent change).
Grab another Basement Key.
Head to the Fountain outside the mansion, and you’ll find a staircase.
Go down and unlock a shortcut behind the minecart.
Option B is harder but saves time long-term since you won’t need to redraft the Tomb.
Step 5: Solve the Gear Puzzle
Now that the minecart is out of the way:
Return to the gear puzzle room.
Rotate the platform to align with the exit tunnel.
Walk through, head down the corridor, and pull the lever at the end.
This opens the north side of the Anti-Chamber.
Step 6: Enter Room 46 and Win
Go back to Room 46 on your mansion grid.
Use the Anti-Chamber’s newly opened north door to reach Room 46.
Interact with the door.
You win. First run done. You now unlock more rooms, features, and harder late-game content.
Final Blurb
Your first win in Blue Prince requires unlocking the right stuff and planning around the mansion’s weird logic. Once you’ve got that Basement Key and Elevator setup, future runs become way easier. Good luck pulling those levers and dodging the RNG gremlins.
