Puzzle Solutions Guide

Keeping up the adventure game tradition, Life Is Strange features a few puzzles to solve. If you’re stuck and need a push in the right direction, than look no further.


Diner Bathroom Passcode

When Max is trapped in the strange Diner bathroom, you’ll need to find a four digit passcode to escape. There are numbers covering every surface, so which one is the right code?

  • 1. Look in the mirror. Only one set of numbers is reflected in the glass. Those numbers, for us they were ‘0311’, are all you need to escape.
  • 2. Don’t forget; the numbers appear backwards in the mirror. Re-arrange the numbers when inputting into the keypad.

Dormitory Hall Solution

Inside the endless Girls Dormitory hallway, every door leads straight back to the beginning of the path. To escape, you’ll need a key.

  • 1. When you first arrive, speak with Kate. She’s standing near her room. After the conversation, use any door to restart the sequence.
  • 2. Next, look on the table near the restroom down the hallway on the right. There’s a key here — pick it up. It’s for room ‘218’.
  • 3. Go through door ‘218’, then go through door ‘224’, then ‘221’, and finally ‘219’ to escape the dormitory.
