The Blue Prince billiard room puzzle will give you keys as a reward, but only if you can solve the math problems that use colored segments on a dartboard instead of the usual symbols. Thankfully, you don’t need to know anything about darts to complete the puzzle, but it’s still not easy to figure out what’s going on with the segments and colors the first time you draft this room. However, once you know how it works, you can solve any version of this dartboard puzzle, so I’ve explained how the billiard room in the Blue Prince works below.
Blue Prince billiard room puzzle solution
To complete any billiard room puzzle in Blue Prince, you need to solve several simple math problems using the colored segments on the dartboard to get numbers from 1 to 20, forming a code – complete enough of these problems and enter the correct numbers on the dartboard to reveal a prize. Note that the code is different every time you draft the billiard room in Blue Prince too, so there’s no way to get around these puzzles without doing some math.
The key to solving the math problems is knowing that the order of operations starts with segments closest to the bullseye and ends with those on the edge of the dartboard, and figuring out what each of the colored segments mean:
- Blue = Addition (+)
- Yellow = Subtraction (-)
- Pink = Multiplication (x)
- Purple = Division (÷)
So, for example, if the dartboard has just two blue segments for 8 and 4, you add them together to get 12 and then select 12 on the board, which will activate a new set of colored segments. Let’s say those segments are, from bullseye to board edge, blue for 20, pink for 2, and purple for 2, 4, and 5. Start with 20, multiply it by 2 and divide by 2 to end up back at 20. Divide that by 5 to get 4, then divide that by 4 to get 1 – note that you could have completed those divisions in any order to get the same result. Select 1 on the dartboard to proceed to the next set of colored segments and so on, until the dartboard lifts to reveal your prize.
Prizes from the Blue Prince dartboard puzzle are usually keys: either a pair of basic keys for unlocking rooms and chests, a keycard for electronic security doors, or a silver key, which can get you access to a room with many doors. If you get a number wrong while entering the dartboard code, you’ll just have to start inputting the code from the beginning and thankfully aren’t locked out of solving it and any rewards behind the dartboard. It’s also worth checking the bar in case there’s a coin lying around!
There are plenty of other puzzles like this, such as the Blue Prince Boudoir safe code, but if you need more general help then we also have some Blue Prince tips to get you started!
