Generator Puzzle Solution

In Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5, to solve the Generator puzzle, you’ll need to start from the old room, which has a whiteboard, desk, cardboard boxes, and other old items inside it. Your objective is simple: you just need to activate the power source to start the generator and ensure everything runs smoothly. The desk is placed right in front of the whiteboard, and to its left, on the ground, you’ll be able to find a battery of sorts.

Go close to the whiteboard, and you’ll be able to read the message on it. It says that the vending machine is broken and needs to be fixed. Pick up the battery and go to the corner where all the boxes and old stuff are, look to its right, and you’ll find a vent blocked using wooden planks.



Break the planks, go inside, and insert the battery. Then, use one of your hands to connect it with the power source, loop it around the two sets of pillars twice before finally reaching the other side of the room. After this, use your other hand on the power source you’ll find on the other side, and this will start the generator for you, solving the puzzle.
