Cracking the Code: Blue Prince Billiard Room Dartboard Puzzle

The puzzle in the Blue Prince billiard room rewards you with keys, but only if you’re able to solve some math problems that use colored sections of a dartboard instead of regular symbols. Luckily, you don’t need to be a darts expert to figure it out, though understanding the segments and colors can be tricky the first time you encounter this puzzle. Once you grasp how it works, you’ll be able to tackle any dartboard puzzle you come across. Below, I’ll break down how to solve the billiard room puzzle in the Blue Prince.

Solution to the Blue Prince Billiard Room Puzzle

To solve any billiard room puzzle in Blue Prince, you need to perform various simple math calculations using the colored segments on the dartboard to produce numbers from 1 to 20. This forms a code that, when completed, will reveal a prize. Remember, the code changes every time you enter the billiard room, which means you can’t bypass the math without solving it.

The secret to cracking these math problems lies in the order of operations, which begins with the segments nearest the bullseye and ends with those on the outer edge of the dartboard. Here’s what each colored segment represents:

• Blue = Addition (+)
• Yellow = Subtraction (-)
• Pink = Multiplication (×)
• Purple = Division (÷)

For instance, if the dartboard displays two blue segments for 8 and 4, you would add these together to get 12. You’d then select 12 on the dartboard, which will activate a new set of colored segments. Let’s say those segments are blue for 20, pink for 2, and purple for 2, 4, and 5. Begin with 20, multiply it by 2, and then divide that by 2 to return to 20. Next, divide 20 by 5 to get 4, and then divide that by 4 to yield 1. Note that you can perform the divisions in any order and still reach the same result. Finally, select 1 on the dartboard to access the next set of segments, continuing this process until the dartboard lifts and reveals your reward.

When you solve the dartboard puzzle in Blue Prince, the usual rewards are keys: either a pair of basic keys for opening rooms and chests, a keycard for electronic doors, or a silver key that leads to a room filled with numerous doors. If you make a mistake while entering the dartboard code, don’t worry—you’ll start over from the beginning, and you won’t be locked out of solving the puzzle or claiming any rewards behind the dartboard. And make sure to check the bar for any stray coins that might be lying around!
