I can’t believe it has been over a year since Blue Prince was released. Blue Prince was such a wonderful experience and my game of 2025. Jeff and I spent many hours together pouring over all the secrets until we considered our main run complete. Even when we weren’t playing, we would discuss the current problems we were trying to figure out. We really enjoyed our time even when we would be stumped by a puzzle. Each new mystery meant more time to explore the estate and learn more about the story! I still have our stack of notes we created and over 400 screenshots we took while playing. I can’t get myself to get rid of them because every time I see them, it reminds me of us playing through the game. Such a wonderful game!
Recently, we decided to pick the game back up to attempt a Dare Mode run. It was interesting returning to the game and making our way back to room 46 with an extra set of rules. Having my old notes was great because we were able to look up things we solved and forgot since we last played. I was really surprised by the number of things we remembered and were able to quickly get past in order to get our Dare Mode victory. The longest part of that run was getting a good combination of Dares. We were not a fan of the “no exiting from the front entrance.” It is totally doable but was just so annoying. Once we got our start, it was a matter of getting everything to line up. After wrapping up our running, we’ve now been discussing if we want to attempt the 1 day and 1 hour long runs. Those seem incredibly rough, so we shall see when we finally work on that.
Food is such a vital item when making your way through the estate. One of the meals that saved us a few times during Dare Mode was the club sandwich. A lovely sandwich perfect to keep you ready to explore a constantly changing estate. It only gives you an additional 15 steps but those steps could be the make or break for getting to room 46. This recipe can easily use premade items if you would like to quickly put something together. For example, I’ve decided to go a little extra with this by making the bread from scratch. If you don’t have the time, feel free to swap it out with your favorite premade white bread. Either way, this ends up being a very delicious club sandwich and I hope it’ll help you during your exploration of your Uncle’s estate.
