Blue Prince: Silver Key Guide

The Silver Key in Blue Prince is one of the more generous keys you can find during a run—if you know when to use it. Unlike standard keys that just get you through whatever locked door you’re facing, this one offers a little layout magic.
What the Silver Key Does
Using a Silver Key doesn’t just unlock a door—it guarantees that the room on the other side will have many exits.
Specifically, it unlocks a room with multiple doors, often three or even four.
That means more paths, more drafting options, and a much easier time dodging dead ends.
This makes the Silver Key great when your current wing of the manor is starting to feel claustrophobic or when you're planning a long route and don’t want to get boxed in.
When to Use the Silver Key
Save your Silver Key for moments when:
You're at risk of getting cornered or running out of room placement options.
You’re branching off into a new area and want maximum drafting flexibility.
You’re gunning for higher-ranked rooms and need lots of paths to roll the dice.
Basically, the Silver Key is your “open up the map” tool. Don’t waste it on a random locked door early unless you’re stuck with no good choices.
Where to Find Silver Keys
Like most special keys in Blue Prince, Silver Keys can be:
Found in dead-end rooms, closets, or storerooms.
Hidden in trunks, chests, or dirt piles.
Occasionally purchased from the Locksmith or traded for at outer room vendors.
They’re not super rare, but they’re not common either. When you find one, it’s worth hanging onto for the right opportunity.
Final Blurb
The Silver Key is like giving the mansion a little shove and saying, “Open up, I’m not done yet.” Use it wisely and you’ll open more than just a door—you’ll open your run wide back up.
