In Poppy Playtime – Chapter 4: Safe Haven, you finally get some answers (and a whole lot of help) from your gooey new friend, Doughey! If you need help to solve the Tower Code Puzzle in the Prison Yard, you’ve come to the right place. Don’t worry, this puzzle isn’t as tricky as it looks — and with Doughey’s gooey help, and my help of course, you’ll breeze right through it.
Tower Code Puzzle | Chapter 4 Safe Haven
After Doughey gives you a bit of backstory, he’ll ask you to follow him. But before you do, look to your right — you’ll spot a pipe you can grab with your trusty Grab Pack Hand. Use it to hoist yourself up to the platform above.
NOTE: If you’re only interested in the Tower Puzzle code itself, skip to the next section of my guide.
Once you land, head through the door ahead into a corridor filled with interrogation rooms. Doughey will pop up behind a shelf and lead the way. Follow him through the rooms, and you’ll eventually come to three doors. Go through the middle one to find the second yellow VHS tape of the chapter in the back left corner. Don’t forget to grab it for some lore!
Keep following Doughey, who leads you through another corridor. Before you follow him into the next room, pop into the door on your right. You’ll find a crate blocking a hole in the wall — use your Grab Pack to move it, and you’ll uncover a VHS player. Slot in that second yellow tape to uncover more about the mysterious prison and its backstory.
Now, head back to the corridor and follow Doughey. He’ll lead you to a room with some yellow bars. He’ll squeeze through and break a few poles on the way, but once he’s through, you can remove the poles and crawl after him. This leads you to a giant gap, but no worries, Doughey’s here to help again! He’ll stretch his gooey body across to create a bridge. Cross over, and keep going until you reach more cavernous paths. You’ll have to jump and use Doughey’s body again to help you across.
Eventually, you’ll land next to a hole in the wall that leads to the Prison Yard and the Tower Code Puzzle. Doughey will squeeze through a crack ahead, but you can’t quite follow him just yet. Time to figure out how to get out of the yard!
Getting Out of the Prison Yard: The Tower Code Puzzle
Now, here’s the fun part — the puzzle! In the Prison Yard, you’ll spot four color-coded chains with hooks hanging from the perimeter walls. To open the double doors, you need to grab each chain and attach it to the corresponding door handles. Here’s the breakdown:
- Blue Chain: Top-right notch
- Green Chain: Bottom-right notch
- Yellow Chain: Bottom-left notch
- Red Chain: Top-left notch
Once that’s all set up, it’s time to find the levers. The blue chain already has a lever attached, but you’ll need to find the other three:
- The second lever is in front of the red chain.
- Doughey will throw the third lever to you.
- The final lever is tucked away inside a key-coded locker at the red turret. To unlock it, you’ll need to pay attention to the whiteboard in the turret room.
Solving the Tower Code
Now here’s where it gets tricky: to unlock that final lever, you need to create a four-digit code. The whiteboard shows colors in this order: Blue, Green, Yellow, Red. If you look at the color-coded turrets, you’ll see the following numbers:
- Blue: 3
- Green: 30
- Yellow: 32
- Red: 31
You’ll need to take the second digit from each number and line them up in the order of the colors on the whiteboard (blue, green, yellow, red). The code is: 3021.
Punch it in, and the locker opens! Grab the last lever and head back down to insert it into the slot by the chain without a lever.
Wrap-Up
With all the levers in place, pull them in sequence. If nothing happens, double-check the chain alignments. Once everything is correctly hooked up, the double doors will open, and you’ll crawl through to the next area where Doughey is waiting. Ready for another challenge?
