Keycard
The Keycard is a special item in Blue Prince. It may be used to unlock and access the security locked doors that are found in the higher ranks of the house. It is often considered a special key.
How to obtain
This item can be found in the following locations.
[Red Room Spoiler: Darkroom]
[Studio Addition: Dormitory]
This item can also be obtained from the following sources.
- Trunks
- The Dartboard Puzzle in the Billiard Room
- Lockers in the Locker Room
- [Garage Spoiler] The trunk of the car in the Garage, after the Upgrade Disk has already been used
- [Satellite Dish Spoiler] The "gain 1 random item" experimental effect
A Keycard can be guaranteed to spawn in the following ways.
[Upgrade Spoiler: Billiard Room] Calling a day in the Break Room will cause the player to begin the next day with a Keycard already in their inventory.- [Upgrade Spoiler: Cloister] Drafting the Bedroom from the Cloister of Mila will always cause it to contain a Keycard, if it has not spawned already and both Repellent and Lock Pick Kit have.
- [Upgrade Spoiler: Spare Room] The same is true of the Spare Bedroom and all of its upgrades.
Usage
Ordinarily, attempting to interact with the keycard reader on any security door will do nothing but show a message saying "This security door is locked by electronic keycard." While holding a Keycard, performing the same action will unlock the door and begin a draft. Security door drafts have a unique interface which also shows the rarity of each drawn floorplan, represented by the number of green LEDs shown above.
Unlike the keys and special keys that are used to unlock normal doors, the Keycard is not consumed upon use and can be used to unlock any number of security doors. It cannot be used if the keycard system is offline.
