The Paper Crown is a special item in Blue Prince. It is a red crown put on display in the Closed Exhibit.
How to obtain
The Paper Crown is located in the Closed Exhibit, but is blocked by the security system.
Spoilers Within
This section contains spoilers for details.
By drafting into the back side of the Closed Exhibit (the side that does not have a door), a security panel appears.
Lowering the barrier, then clicking "RESET SECURITY SYSTEM" gives 10 seconds to run to and pick up the crown. (On failure, a barrier appears near the crown; it raises the next time you press the reset button.)
Spoilers Within
This section contains spoilers for increasing the timer.
By clicking the reset button very close to the sacred hour (between 1:28:20 PM and 1:35:00 PM), you get 60 seconds to reach the crown instead.
Usage
While drafting while holding the Paper Crown, if none of the three drawn floorplans are a Red Room, an additional option to redraw floorplans (with no cost) appears. This option does not appear if a redraw was already used in this draft, even if there are no Red Rooms.
