Gallery Paintings Puzzle Solution – Blue Prince Complete Guide

on

Are you stuck staring at the blank titles in the Blue Prince Gallery? You're not alone—this puzzle is one of the more cerebral challenges in the game. But don’t worry, we’re breaking down everything you need to know to interpret the clues, find the correct titles, and unlock your well-earned rewards.

What Is the Gallery Paintings Puzzle?

In the Gallery room of Blue Prince, you’ll encounter four paintings with empty title plaques. Each piece contains unique visual clues designed to hint at a single word. Solving the puzzle involves determining the correct title for each painting—but there’s a clever twist: all four are synonyms for the word "think", with word lengths of 5, 6, 7, and 8 letters.

Visual Clues & Title Solutions

Let’s break down each painting and how the clues lead to their solutions:

1. Five-letter Painting

  • Visual Hint: The word “thick” written out, but with an oddly thin “K.”

  • Answer: THINK
    “Thin-K” is a pun directly hinting at “think.”

2. Six-letter Painting

  • Visual Hint: Red wagons mirrored across a vertical axis, plus a visible letter “P.”

  • Answer: PONDER
    “P on red” when mirrored leads to the word “ponder.”

3. Seven-letter Painting

  • Visual Hint: Dozens of eyes and partial words like “GENU,” “VERI,” and “ACTUAL.”

  • Answer: REALIZE
    "Eyes" and "real" references point to the concept of realization.

4. Eight-letter Painting

  • Visual Hint: Infinity symbol above words like “fin,” “skin,” “pin,” and “sins.”

  • Answer: RUMINATE
    “Room + in + 8” items, endless cycle of thought = ruminate.

How to Submit the Answers

Once you’ve figured out a painting’s title, interact with its frame to input the correct word. Solving any two paintings unlocks the first reward chest, while solving all four grants access to a second chest containing Key 8, which leads to Room 8 and further progression.

Rewards

  • First Chest (after 2 correct titles): Gems, coins, or lore notes.

  • Second Chest (after all 4 correct): Key 8, needed for future exploration.

Tips from the Community

The Blue Prince community has some great insight to make this easier:

  • Wordplay Matters: Every puzzle is a play on spelling, puns, or sound.

  • Synonym Theme: Knowing all the words relate to “think” helps narrow down options.

  • Partial Solving is Okay: Get two right, grab the chest, and return later with fresh ideas.

  • Use Mirror Logic: One clue literally relies on mirrored letters and visuals.
