A complete guide to solve the Atelier Blueprints Maze in Blue Prince

If you have found your way into the world of the Blue Prince theater , perhaps witness the whispers that speak of the Atelier. Draped in symbolism, colors, and codes, this is not merely an optional side pass, rather it should be considered a passage for puzzle enthusiasts. Sure, making it there isn't easy at all, but making it through? Well, that's another story altogether. What you have in front of you is a short and swift survival guide to one of the game's hardest areas.
Stage one: Get entry, the hidden door

• Long before setting foot on Atelier Maze, a very elaborate initiation welcomes you:
  
• Conquer the Throne Room. An act that is very much symbolic to restore order, but beyond that, opens the deeper layers in the architecture of the game.
  
• Permanently lock every Blue Door. A sign that you have ventured into the private spaces of the game.
  
• Solve the Coat of Arms Puzzle. Give this vital clue.
  
• Compose the Secret Passage. This is where it gets tricky. The Secret Passage must be an outer room on your layout. Some RNG is in play here so patience may be needed.
  

Stage two: Mind the steps

• The maze does not offer any help in figuring itself out; it devours time and movement. Hence plan accordingly:
  
• Check your steps before the day. The +20 move bonus from the Sauna surely comes in handy.
  
• Plan your layout smartly. Rooms like the Coat Check should go early in the lineup to conserve steps.
  

Stage three: Patterns and PrismsThe Atelier Maze, a complicated network composed of 45 rooms and dense with colors, symbology, and arcane meanings. Here's the puzzle you are standing upon:

• Paintings are paired. Likewise the manor, the maze has twin artworks. Each pair conceals a word puzzle. One word has an extra letter-take note of it. These extra letters will leave behind a message.
  
• Mora Jai Boxes have each room containing a colorful puzzle box. Solve it and receive a word clue. Collect them all, and patterns start to emerge.
  
• Don't even think about ignoring the ceiling or corners. The lanterns provide visual clues to help decode the space and guide your path: colors of all sorts.
  

The reflection of mind and secrets of the Blue Prince. It's not solving a maze through ticking tasks on a list, but seeing connections where others see chaos.

So next time you find yourself in front of a violet lantern next to a prism-shaped door, ask yourself, "What does the color signify? What is different from the last room? What does the maze say?" Listen closely and you would find the way. And maybe, the Blue Prince would let you in on his last secret.
