In the immersive world of Blue Prince, players have the opportunity to earn an allowance each day, providing a small financial boost at the start of their adventure. To enhance your daily earnings and secure additional coins on the Entry Way table, you’ll need to engage in puzzle-solving by locating and completing various puzzle boxes scattered throughout the game.
Among these hidden treasures, puzzle boxes can be discovered in several locations, such as the Trading Post and the more notorious Underpass, which houses one of the game’s most difficult challenges.
Finding the Underpass Puzzle Box
To unlock the puzzle box in the Underpass, you must first access the Red Door located inside the Boiler Room. This involves supplying power to a red box within the room. Once activated, the door will become accessible, situated conveniently near the pathway leading to the lever for Room 46.
Next, adjust the giant rotating gear in the Underpass to a position that allows you to cross over to the Red Door, which must be elevated to the second level. This setup grants access to two additional rooms reachable from the Red Room’s overpass, conveniently overlooking the rotating gear in the Basement area of Blue Prince.
Solving the Underpass Puzzle Box
To successfully solve this particular puzzle box, you’ll need to ensure that all four corners of the box are deactivated. This requires some strategic thinking; focus on isolating the gray boxes along a line, which allows you to click them and eliminate them completely. Below is the sequence you need to follow in order to achieve this:

Upon solving the puzzle box, you will receive an allowance token, which permanently increases your daily allowance by two coins in Blue Prince. However, be aware that the box will vanish from the game permanently, making it impossible to return for additional rewards. While there are alternative methods to increase your daily coin count, these puzzle boxes are easily discoverable and provide a fun way to earn throughout your gameplay.
