Passageway

A long cramped series of unfinished passages used primarily by the servant staff to traverse the estate quickly.
The Passageway is a room in Blue Prince. Listed as Room 5 of the Hallways page in the Room Directory, the Passageway is a typical example of a 4-way room; it is the most common one and as such the one that most players will encounter first. Its frequent appearance and abundance of doors is offset by its 2
drafting cost and complete lack of any documents or items, even with high luck.
Interactions
- Activating The Southern Cross makes the Passageway more common today.
- The Passageway cannot be drawn while drafting in the Library unless at least 2 are held.
- [Boiler Room spoilers] The Passageway is fitted with steam ducts, allowing it to convey steam power from the Boiler Room. Since it has four doors, it can split steam power in three different directions. The Passageway also has an increased chance to be drawn when drafting from other rooms with ducts, and has an increased chance to draw those rooms when being drafted from.
- [Chamber of Mirrors Spoiler] The Chamber of Mirrors may contain a physical copy of the Passageway's floorplan in one of its cabinets which can be permanently added to the draft pool.
As a Hallway
- Drafting the Foyer before or after drafting the Passageway will unlock all doors in the Passageway, including security doors.
- The Hall Pass will void the gem cost of drafting between the Passageway and another Hallway.
- The Hall Pass also negates the
step cost of walking between the Passageway and an adjoining Hallway. - Drafting a Hallway either to or from the Passageway can trigger a particular experimental trigger which is activated by drafting a Hallway from another Hallway.
- The Passageway can contribute to a particular experimental effect which provides a key for every two Hallways on the estate.
- The Passageway is drawn significantly more often during a Hallways-restricted draft, initiated by using the orange book in the Secret Passage or by using the Prism Key on a locked Hallway door.
- The Passageway can appear consistently as a default option even after it has been drafted once the draft pool is depleted, typically appearing in Slot 2 once the pool is completely devoid of valid Hallways. This can cause it to break its usual drafting requirements and be drawn with a doorway leading outside of the house.

Additional information
- In Drafting Strategy: Architectural Digest Vol. 3, the Passageway is mentioned twice:
- In the introductory page, one of the questions it claims to answer is "Is Passageway really worth two gems?"
- One of the gem testimonials says "I will never draft PASSAGEWAY on the first five ranks. It's a simple strat that has served me well."
