How To Get Trophies And Blue Tents In Blue Prince

Are you hoping to unlock the Blue Tents in Blue Prince? These are permanent upgrades to the estate and, while they won't provide you with noticeable buffs, they do lead to a rather surprising addition to certain rooms. Our guide has all the information that you need to help you get started, but keep in mind there there will be minor spoilers ahead.

How to unlock Blue Tents in Blue Prince - Trophies and Blue Memos guide

The Blue Tents upgrade comes from the Gift Shop, which is a room that you can draft in the manor. It costs a whopping 400 gold to purchase. Likewise, you also need to meet a strict requirement: You can only buy the Blue Tents upgrade once you've obtained at least eight trophies.

Our guide takes a look at all the trophies in the game, as well as the easiest ones that you could focus on. Later, we discuss what sort of perk you'll receive once you have Blue Tents in the estate.

The Blue Prince trophy list

Upon reaching Room 46 for the first time, Simon will successfully inherit his great uncle's estate. You'll notice several new additions, such as more rooms, secrets, and even tasks.

One particular document--the Trophies of Mount Holly--even has a checklist of all the available achievements that you can acquire down the line. This document can be found on a desk at the left-hand side of the Entrance Hall, and on the wall in the Trophy Room.

The Inheritance Trophy is automatically unlocked after clearing Room 46 for the first time. That means you only need seven trophies for the Blue Prince Blue Tents upgrade:

• As a general rule, you want to avoid the Dare Bird Trophy, Cursed Trophy, Day One Trophy, and Trophy of Speed. Those are all challenge runs that you can tackle using a different save file. They're also very difficult, as though you need all the stars to align just to succeed.
• The Trophy of Trophies also becomes available once you have every other trophy, so you can scratch that off the list.
• That leaves us with nine other options.

Bullseye Trophy and A Logical Trophy

The Bullseye Trophy and A Logical Trophy are awarded upon completing 40 Darts Puzzles and 40 Parlor Puzzles, respectively. These puzzles get progressively tougher the more you complete them, leading to all sorts of complex mathematical equations or ridiculously cryptic logical dilemmas.

That said, you can grab Upgrade Disks that add new effects/perks:

• One upgrade for the Darts Puzzle reverts all operations to simple addition.
• An upgrade for the Parlor Puzzle grants another Wind-up Key. You can pick a second box in case you made a mistake with your first guess.

Trophy 8

This is actually one of the easiest trophies to acquire if you want the Blue Prince Blue Tents upgrade. You just need to do the following:

• Solve the Gallery Puzzle to receive the Key 8.
• Reach row/rank 8 in the manor and find a locked door. Use Key 8 to unlock the door to magically spawn Room 8.
• Complete the Room 8 Puzzle.

You don't need to do the above in a single day in-game. If you drafted a Coat Check, you can store the Key 8 inside, and then retrieve it later when you're sure that you can spawn Room 8 in a run.

Trophy of Invention

You'll get this Blue Prince trophy soon enough while progressing through the campaign. You just need to craft all eight Workshop contraptions. You can learn about the items that you need in our Workshop crafting guide.

Full House Trophy and Explorer's Trophy

The Full House Trophy is something that you can obtain if you manage a perfect run. All you have to do is ensure that you can draft a room in every open slot in the manor--i.e. all 45 slots must have a room. This means using connectors and a few rerolling methods to have a "full house."

The Explorer's Trophy, meanwhile, requires you to advance through multiple days, all while drafting every single applicable room in the mansion. Basically, you must have access to every room in the Room Directory in your menu. Here are a few tips:

• Place down the Drafting Studio as often as possible. It allows you to add rooms like the Kennel, Clock Tower, Dovecote, and more to your drafting pool.
• Draft every randomized option that appears in the outer shed, which you unlock via the Garage Door/West Gate Path.
• Discover all eight Found Floorplans hidden in other parts of the estate.

You must draft and enter each room in the directory. Once you've done this for all areas, the trophy should appear in the last room that you drafted to complete the tally.

Trophy of Drafting

There's another trophy that you can grab for the Blue Tents upgrade in Blue Prince. It's called the Trophy of Drafting, and it requires you to plop down 20 or more dead ends in a single run. Here are some tips:

• Try to create connectors/open paths first via hallways and rooms with several openings. Later, you can place down dead end rooms if you think you can have 20 or more by the end of it.
• Dead end rooms are those without doors or paths, except for the entrance where you came in--i.e. Walk-in Closet, Furnace, Freezer, Lavatory, Bunk Room, Guest Room, Utility Closet, etc.
• Certain rooms also count as dead ends for the purpose of this tally:
  • Chamber of Mirrors
  • Secret Passage
  • Any outer room that you draft in the West Gate Path.
• The Chamber of Mirrors lets duplicates of previously drafted rooms appear in the drawing pool again.
• You can check the telescope in the Observatory. Depending on the number of stars, you might get the Draxus the Dead constellation. It causes dead ends to appear more often in your drafting pool.

Note: Your trophy reward will appear in the Mail Room after a couple of days pass in-game. It also includes prize money worth 200 gold.

Trophy of Wealth

This requires you to buy all four of the items being sold in the Showcase room. Note that the available items tend to change per run, too. Ideally, you should amass enough gold through the following means:

• Increase your gold allowance via Allowance Tokens and Laboratory house features experiments.
• Draft the Vault (+40 gold) and the Treasure Trove (accumulates +5 gold whenever you draft it).
• Pick the Tomb as an outer room and draft several dead ends. The Tomb will have +5 gold for each dead end, so you can just return there a bit later in your run.
• If you received the Trophy of Drafting mentioned above, you can use the 200 gold prize to buy items from the Showcase during the same run.
• You can "freeze your assets" via the Freezer. When you end the day, you'll retain the amount of gold and gems that you had during your previous attempt.

Diploma Trophy

This particular trophy in Blue Prince is harder to get due to the requirements:

• You need to unlock the Classroom via the Drafting Studio.
• You must draft the Schoolhouse as an outer room. This lets you draft up to eight additional Classrooms inside the manor.
• In one run, you have to place nine classrooms--i.e. one unlocked via the Drafting Studio and the eight additional options from the Schoolhouse.
• You don't need to plop them down consecutively, but you must have all nine near the end.
• Each Classroom is akin to a grade/level, and the ninth Classroom has a final exam.
• If you get a high score in the test, the trophy will be waiting for you at the Entrance Hall the next day.

Trophy of Sigils

One of the most time-consuming Blue Prince trophies concerns the sigils in the estate. Here's a quick summary:

• You must find all Sanctum Keys, which are scattered in various locations.
• You then have to rotate the dials in the Inner Sanctum to solve Sigil Puzzles.
• After solving all eight of these, the Trophy of Sigils will appear in the Inner Sanctum the next day.
• While you're at it, you might as well complete the Eight Realms in Eight Months riddle, too.

What are the Blue Memos from the Blue Tents?

Let's say you've already obtained eight trophies. That means you can finally purchase the Blue Tents in the Gift Shop for 400 gold. The Blue Prince Blue Tents upgrade has a unique perk: Any blue room that you draft in the eighth rank contains a hidden Blue Memo.

Here's what you need to know:

• Check the Room Directory and look for rooms with the blue color. They're also classified as "blueprints."
• In each run, you must reach row/rank 8 of the manor--i.e. one row below the Antechamber. Any blue room you draft in that row will have a new Blue Memo that you can read.
• These memos are somewhat hard to find, so keep your eyes peeled.
• Some memos talk about the solutions to various riddles, while others provide background lore information.
• A select few are actually quite important, since they offer hints to late-game puzzles.
• Some rooms that are of a different color by default might turn into blue rooms later on through your own actions, which means you can find Blue Memos within.
