Blue Prince is not a game that shies away from difficult puzzles and puzzle rooms. It thrives on logic-based conundrums that tickle your brain and tease you until you solve them with some help from hints spread around the house.

One of the logic puzzles that Blue Prince presents to the player can be found in the Gallery Room, a rare blue room that is hard to draft, but contains four very puzzling and intriguing paintings. If you're struggling, this guide is here to show you how to solve all four puzzles in the Gallery Room in Blue Prince.

The four paintings all have a blank space next to them with space for letters, meaning that you need to give them a title to solve the puzzle. There are a few things to understand before jumping into the puzzle that will help you solve it quite easily:

  • Hint 1: There are no essential hints in the other parts of the mansion, everything you need to solve these puzzles is right here in the Gallery Room. However, there are some helpful clues in the Classroom.
  • Hint 2: All the painting titles are themed, with their answers relating to understand, contemplate, deliberate, etc.
  • Hint 3: The paintings are essentially just wordplays that require the player to think in a particular way to solve them. Describe the big parts of the scenery when you see it in different ways and try to combine words together to make something that fits the answer slot.

One painting has a one-word answer, though getting to that word can quite often be a bit of a stretch and requires some mental gymnastics from the player.

think, first painting answer in blue prince
  • Painting 1: The main subject in the first painting is the large text “THICK.” Everything except the K is bolded, meaning there is a “Thin K” in the painting. Hence, the answer is Think.
ponder, second painting puzzle answer in blue prince
  • Painting 2: The second painting shows the letter P riding high in the sky on a cart which contains a stop sign, an apple, a rose, and a fire hydrant. If you’ve visited the classroom before, you'll have figured out that all of these items are supposed to be red in color, though they’re monochrome in the image. Since the stop sign in the image is flipped, we come to the answer of “P On Der” (Der being a flipped red), Ponder.
realize, third painting puzzle answer in blue prince
  • Painting 3: The table in the middle of the room spells the word Veri, which is Latin for truth. There is a big board with the words “Actual Objective,” and a whole lot of eyes populating the floor of the room. Combining all these clues, we get the answer, “Real” “Eyes,” i.e., Realize.
ruminate, fourth plainting answer in blue prince
  • Painting 4: The fourth painting shows an infinity symbol in the middle of a room full of nails. However, the eighth red envelope and the eight in the classroom are represented by the same symbol, meaning this is probably also the number eight. The title for this room is “Room In Eight,” or Ruminate.

Blue Prince: Should You Make a Wish?

Making a wish might not get you better luck in Blue Prince, but it can aid you in the coming days.

You will earn two rewards for solving all four painting puzzles. There are two pedestals in the middle of the room, and each of them opens for every two puzzles that you solve. The first two puzzles open a pedestal that gives the player some gems while finishing the other two painting titles gives you Key 8, a key that unlocks Room 8.

According to the fourth painting’s name, Room 8 can only be found on the eighth rank. To gain access to it, players need to draft a room in the eight rank that requires a key to open, and then use the Room 8 key instead of a normal key to get there. It’s the same room that’s shown in the last picture.
