Is there meant to be more to this besides guessing? Sometimes games have hints or clues.
I mean, I usually enjoy this type of challenge. I'm just completely baffled by the six-digit PIN. I can think of all kinds of ways there could be hints (the correct button is a different color; the correct button changes to a color other than black when you press it; the correct button makes a different sound when you press it; you take "THE LOCK" and type it in as a phone number, 8435625; you convert "THE LOCK" to alphanumerics as 20-8-5 12-15-3-11; you read the angles of the screws in the corners....), but none of them work. How do you find a hint to move forward?
If you look closely, there is a small hexagon just above the input box. @De_inordinatio already found it, but doesn't seem to have figured out the answer yet either.
As you may imagine, I'm a bit hesitant to give any additional hints, since that would kind of go against the point of the game, but I'll try and nudge you in the right direction.
You are on the right path with converting things to numbers, but keep in mind that the answer is only 6 characters long.
(If you look closer at the input field you might even see the answer.)
please man give me something i've been staring at a fucking lock for 2 days straight, all my leads are that a usual number pad either starts with 0 and ends with 9 or starts with 1 and ends with 0 so if u get all the numbers that aren't in the correct place u can get either 0,7 or 3,6,7,9 with the 0 7 you could convert six to numbers which is 19924 which doesn't fit you could use hex which is 8524 and add 0 7 which does not work, maybe the music which sounds like a 2, so you could use 3679 and add 62 or 26 but that doesn't work either, please tell me if i'm hot or cold and if im not put me in the right direction
You are correct in noticing there is something weird about the number pad. There are a few keys missing, but you won't need them to pick the right answer. I took them out to make the answer less obvious when you first look at it, but to also make it very obvious once you realize where to find it.
The music doesn't relate to the lock you're currently working on.
The answer lies within the lock area of the safe, so keep your eye on that area.
Hope this hint drops you on the right path.
