Mastering Every Gallery Puzzle in Blue Prince: A Comprehensive Guide

The Gallery is a room in Blue Prince with four paintings without titles. It’s a pretty rare draft — I didn’t even get it until after reaching both the Antechamber and Room 46.

Inside, you’ll have to name the four paintings to unlock the two chests. And it will get you access to the elusive Room 8.

Our Blue Prince guide will show you how to solve the Gallery painting puzzles and tell you what you get as a reward.

How to solve all Gallery puzzles in Blue Prince

When you finally draft the Gallery — and it can take a while — you’ll find four paintings by the game’s dedicatee, Christopher Manson. The names of each painting are blank and there’s a set of frames next to each of them. When you use the frames to correctly name each painting, the two chests in the middle of the room will unlock.

The contents of the paintings give you the hints you need to solve them with a bit of thought. If you look around, you’ll notice that the painting titles are five, six, seven, and eight letters long. We’ll take them in that order.

Thick Gallery painting solution in Blue Prince

The first painting — the one with a five-letter title — has the word “thick” on a pond with a pair of handcuffs and a spotlight. Most of it is a distraction. What you’re really looking at is just the word, specifically the last letter.

The word “thick” is spelled with thick letters except for that last thin K. And that’s your answer: THINK.

That title is also a clue to the rest — they’re all related to (synonyms of) “think.”

Wagons Gallery painting solution in Blue Prince

The six-letter painting is of two mirrored wagons full of red things — the wagon itself, a rose, a stop sign, an apple, and a fire hydrant. On the right, a huge letter P is on the wagon.

Taking it all together, it’s a P ON RED things, but the side the P is on is mirrored. And if you mirror the RED part of that description, you get the answer: PONDER.

Eyes Gallery painting solution in Blue Prince

The seven-letter painting is mostly just eyeballs, but there are a few words as well that will help you find the answer: ACTUAL on the sign, GENU on the bottle (as in “genuine”), and a table made of the word VERI (the Latin root for “truth”).

All of those words are synonyms for REAL. Add all of those EYES to that for the answer: REALIZE.

[Author’s note: I’m just now realizing, while writing this, that the wine bottle and glass might be a play on the phrase “In vino veritas.”]

Infinity room Gallery painting solution in Blue Prince

The final puzzle’s title has eight letters. There’s an infinity symbol in a room with some boxes around it, a painting on the wall, and a rug on the floor.

For the solution, you have to take all of the parts of the painting together. In the ROOM, there’s a bunch of things that all rhyme (or contain) IN — a fIN, some pINs, a skIN on the floor, and bINs labeled with sINs. The INfINity symbol is also a sideways EIGHT.

Put it all together and you get ROOM+IN+EIGHT or RUMINATE.

Gallery rewards in Blue Prince

As you correctly enter the painting titles, the chests in the center of the room will move and open. The first two answers will get you into the first chest, and the second pair will open the second one.

The first chest is just a normal chest, so it will have coins or gems inside. The second chest, however, will include Key 8. When you use that key on a locked door that leads to rank 8, it’ll draft Room 8 (much like how the Secret Garden Key works).
