Walkthrough

Get the ferry key behind the palm tree door in Silver Pines motel. To reach it from the diner, open the store freezer with 2311, enter the motel using Eddie Velvet's guest number, restore the game room with a 40 amp fuse, and win the pool key. Then collect the Grizzly Suite keycard, use its pool net to retrieve the dirty handle, and clean it with bleach to open the basement door.

Where is the Silver Pines motel car key, and how do you leave the diner?

Take your Car Key inside the Miner Diner, then collect the separate Diner Key from the kitchen hanger to unlock the front door.

Car Key pickup prompt inside the Miner Diner
The car key has a black fob; it opens your trunk, not the diner exit.

Grab the Car Key before leaving. Outside, use it on your trunk to collect your PI badge and the Eddie Velvet dossier. Pick up the map beside the car to get your motel destination.

Diner Key hanging above the kitchen radio
The kitchen pickup identifies the key for the diner's front door.

Before you unlock the exit, pour yourself a coffee in the kitchen for a maximum stamina boost. You can also tune the back-room radio to 89.0, the emergency frequency on the note, to hear the evacuation broadcast. Once the Diner Key opens the front door, you're ready to head outside.

At the ferry landing, the office is locked and the service is closed for the season. Pick up the Crimson Bear Motel leaflet there and head to the motel for the key.

What do you do with the Silver Pines locked ring box?

Pick up the Locked Ring Box on the diner restroom sink and keep it for the five-Star constellation puzzle later in the game.

Locked Ring Box showing gaps in its constellation decoration
The lid's incomplete constellation is the clue; there is no visible opening mechanism.

It looks like a box that needs a hidden latch, but the missing pieces are five Stars that fill the constellation decoration. The fifth opens it to reveal Eddie's Gold Ring. For this diner-to-ferry route, take the box and continue with the kitchen key rather than trying to force it open at the sink.

Where is the underground passage key near Rodney's store?

The Underground Passage Key, also called the Underpass Key, is in the pharmacy back room at Rodney's General Store.

Underground Passage Key pickup in the pharmacy back room
The pickup prompt identifies the key for the underground passage gate.

Visit the motel check-in first. Ringing the desk bell gets you nowhere; Mr Holloway's note sends you to Rodney's store. Check the pharmacy back room while you're there and collect the passage key. Use it on the underpass gate to confirm you've opened that route.

If a locked gate and high wall stop you near the shops, collect the Box Cutter outside the store and cut the plastic tarp to the left of the shops. That gives you a way through instead of leaving you searching the wall for a climb point.

What is the freezer code for the motel check-in key?

Enter 2311 at the General Store freezer and take the Check-in Key from the back.

General Store Code note giving 23 plus the current day of the month
Read the plus sign as joining 23 and 11 together: 2311.

The note in the room to the right of the store looks like an arithmetic clue. Actually, you put 23 in front of the calendar's day, 11. One player initially added the numbers and tried 34; writing them side by side gives the four-digit answer.

The freezer opens when you enter 2311. Collect the key before leaving, and keep your weapon ready because enemies appear on the way out. Return to the motel and use the key to open check-in. For other keypad answers along the route, see silver pines codes.

Which guest number opens the Crimson Bear Motel gate?

Enter the guest number in Eddie Velvet's Motel Guest Ledger entry at the motel gate; the number changes between saves.

Motel Guest Ledger entry showing Eddie Velvet's guest number 58732
58732 is the number in this pictured entry; copy the number from your own ledger.

Read the ledger inside check-in and find Eddie's Grizzly Suite entry. The guest number is an access code, not a count of everyone staying at the motel. Copy that number into the gate panel. The gate opening confirms you used the right entry, and you can move into the motel grounds.

Where is the Crimson Bear Motel 40 amp fuse?

Collect the 40 amp electrical fuse on the lower floor of the main building, then fit it into the power controls by the game room door.

40 amp electrical fuse pickup on the motel's lower floor
The item prompt and fuse label both identify its 40 amp rating.

The basement note points you toward replacement fuses. Enemies are waiting on the lower floor, so approach the pickup with your weapon ready. The palm tree door down here is a separate obstacle; getting the fuse lets you work on the game room first.

Motel power controls with a 40A fuse slot and Game Room switch
The 40A slot matches your fuse; the middle switch is labeled Game Room.

Insert the fuse in the matching 40A slot and turn on the Game Room switch. The room's power returns, letting you use the shooting gallery. Finding the fuse alone doesn't finish this step: you still need to switch the power on.

How do you win the Crimson Bear air rifle game's pool key?

Get lead pellets from the game room's pellet dispenser, load the chained air rifle, and win the timed shooting gallery to receive the Pool Area Key.

Pool Area Key reward prompt at the motel shooting gallery
The prize prompt identifies the key that opens the pool area gate.
  1. Restore the game room power before trying the rifle.
  2. Use the air rifle pellet dispenser to collect ammunition.
  3. Load the gallery rifle with lead pellets and activate the game.
  4. Shoot the targets during the timed round and collect the key when you win.

The chained rifle needs its own lead pellets, so your regular gun ammunition won't solve the activation prompt. You're done when the Pool Area Key pickup appears. Take it to the poolside gate and unlock it.

Where is the Grizzly Suite access card?

The Grizzly Suite Keycard is in the pool changing rooms, beyond the gate you open with the shooting gallery's Pool Area Key.

Use the payphone in the pool area to save before continuing; silver pines how to save covers the saving system. Leave the object behind the pool drain grate alone for now. Your hand cannot reach it, and the tool you need is inside the suite.

Collect the keycard in the changing rooms. On your way back, stop in room 5 for the Cleaning Solution, the bleach you'll need shortly. Use the Grizzly room key card at the suite's card reader. The card swipe and opening door confirm you can enter.

Long-handled Pool Net pickup inside the Grizzly Suite
The net's long handle is what lets you reach the object in the pool drain.

Inside, collect the Pool Net, Welcome Booklet, Snub .38 Revolver, and ammunition. The revolver gives you another weapon before you return through the motel; see silver pines weapons for the weapon list. You can also open the guitar case on the bed in the next room for half of a Torn Polaroid.

How do you solve the pool drain and palm tree door handle puzzle?

Use the Grizzly Suite's Pool Net on the pool drain, then combine the Grime Covered Object with Cleaning Solution or bleach to reveal the palm tree Door Knob.

Clean Door Knob with a palm tree design in the inventory
The cleaned object's palm tree design matches the basement door.
  1. Return to the pool grate with the long-handled net.
  2. Retrieve the Grime Covered Object from behind the grate.
  3. Combine it with the bleach you collected in room 5.
  4. Take the resulting Door Knob downstairs in the main building and fit it to the palm tree door.

The drain can look like a blockage you need to clear, but your goal is the object lodged behind it. The net solves the reach problem; bleach solves the grime problem. Check the item after combining: it becomes a Door Knob with a palm tree design, as pictured above.

Fitting the knob opens the way into a vision of Eddie Velvet on stage at the Rabbit Hole bar. Collect the ceramic bear memento in this area before moving on.

How many memento fragments make an extra slot?

Combine four memento fragments to create one additional memento slot.

Keep the broken fragments as you collect them. Two pieces aren't a complete vessel; you need four for the memorabilia vessel fragment combination. In the embedded video at 1:39:35, the player reads the fragment requirement as four pieces for another slot. This inventory upgrade is separate from the ferry key, so you can continue to the landing while collecting fragments.

Where is the Silver Pines Ferry Service Key under the poster?

Find the Silver Pines Ferry Service Key beneath the Journey to the Stars advertisement in the area behind the motel's palm tree door.

Ferry service office key revealed beneath the gondola advertisement
The revealed key has a Ferry Station tag and an office-key pickup prompt.

After the Rabbit Hole vision, inspect and take the gondola advertisement. The ferry key is underneath it. The pickup identifies the ferry service office, so this is the key you need for the locked office back at the landing.

Go through the underpass toward the ferry. If you keep left, you can visit Drew, the man scrubbing his burnt hands, and drink from the coffee machine in his room for another stamina boost.

How do you finish the Silver Pines demo route to the ferry?

Unlock the Ferry Office with the key from the motel, then use the control panel switch to call the ferry and board for Downtown.

Ferry office control panel with the prompt to call the ferry
The interaction text tells you that the panel switch calls the ferry.

Inside the office, cut through the curtain on the left with your Box Cutter for a Hip Bag. Pick up the soda and the First Aid Kit in the wall medicine locker before you leave.

Activate the control panel. The ferry-arrival message and the boat reaching the landing confirm you're ready to board. You now have access to Downtown; continue with silver pines sheriff's office.
