The Clock Tower puzzle in Blue Prince can be a bit tricky at first, but this guide will help you solve it step by step. You’ll need to visit the top of the clock tower, pay attention to the clocks, and be there at a special time to uncover a hidden secret. We will walk you through everything you need to do to solve the puzzle and get your reward.
How to Solve the Clock Tower Puzzle
To solve the Clock Tower puzzle in Blue Prince, your first step is to access the tower through the draft pool. After activating the floor plan from the Drafting Studio, head upstairs to the top room of the clock tower. There, you’ll see a large mechanism powering the clock, along with a desk holding a note, a broken ceramic piece, and a swan figurine. At first glance, the poem on the note seems like a clue but it’s actually meant to mislead you.
The real clue lies in the clocks themselves. Pay close attention to the large central clock and the smaller ones nearby they move in real time. To proceed with the puzzle, you’ll need to be in the tower at exactly 1:30 PM, the fixed time referenced in the first real clue. Since you can’t just trigger the puzzle whenever you want, you’ll have to wait. Use this downtime to explore the manor, but make sure you’re back at the top of the clock tower on time. When the clock strikes 1:30, a brief cutscene will play, revealing a hidden passage.

Follow this new path, and you’ll come to a chamber filled with eight grandfather clocks. Each of these clocks holds a hint that leads to the next part of the puzzle. You can move their hands forward or backward to adjust the time. The clues that you will discover are color-coded: blue indicates the clue is true, and red indicates the clue is false. Use this system to figure out the correct time settings for each clock.
To save you some time, here’s the correct order of times for each clock from left to right:
Clock 1: 5:00
Clock 2: 5:08
Clock 3: 5:57
Clock 4: 6:00
Clock 5: 7:00
Clock 6: 8:00
Clock 7: 8:05
Clock 8: 9:00
Once you’ve set all the clocks to the correct times, the Sanctum Key will appear as your reward. This key grants you access to the Inner Sanctum, marking the completion of the puzzle. After grabbing the key, you can head back downstairs and continue your adventure through the estate, specifically, keep an eye out for room 46 in Blue Prince.
