New clue detected.

I'm thinking that maybe the (6_4-3) clue is pointing to the "chord" we need to make with the numbers, as only 3 bells ring at a time per imput. and The 1-2-7-5-X Is the main note. But I can't figure out how to make the right chords. 7 (7_5-4) and 5 (5_3-2) are quite easy. But I don't know what to do with 1 and 2... (1_11-10), (1-11_10)? Someone willing to help forcing this to erase it from the list?

I KNEW IT, 1275*, 5 NUMBERS, RED BUTTON ON EACH NUMBER = SPECIFIC MELODY. Lmao I tried every possible combination assuming last number is 8,9,0. IT DIDNT WORKED. Someone solve this please, I need to get what was wrong.

I like your suggestion to use "643" as the correct benchmark to apply to the other 4 notes, so we need to make five chords to solve the puzzle. Although I have several questions:

• What does even the number represent? For example, the 6th white key? The A note?
• The 6th dial button? The F note?
• 6 as a letter substitute? Also, the F note?
• As for the pattern, can you go 7_3-2 or 5_5-4 instead of 7_5-4 or 5_3-2?
• If I go for the white key, should the pattern be limited to 7?
• If I go for the black key for the last two notes, should the pattern be limited to 5?
• I tried your pattern and experimented a bit with the numbers, especially 1 & 2 - Quite tricky with the octave. Therefore, how should I figure out the octave for each note to make the right chord under this idea?

 

[LavenderLillie]

Something else to consider is the With 6 4 2 on the Banking slip-- if we assume that we need 1 2 7 5 _, the number that's covered by a coffee stain seems to match the 6/G in Witherstone's deposit info, and With 6 4 2 would give us our last note, though we'd have to figure out the rest of the numbers for the others from there.

If the 6/4/3 combinations don't end up working, I think this is our next best lead.

It does feel like someone somewhere ought to be sitting on all the clues and the greater context in which they connect, but has decided to suddenly retire and take that knowledge with them.

I'll take a stab. The current phase of the puzzle was deployed on December 22, with the first post in this thread being found on page 47.

This is the link to the google doc of all currently solved puzzle steps.

Hey everyone! Quick update - we shipped a few bugs. Wagstaff tells you you're done and gives you your points when you haven't solved the musical door yet. And lets you get to the lab without solving it. Really sorry for the inconvenience, He will be reprimanded. Also the labels on the potions are not working correctly, them changing is not part of the puzzle. We'll go back and repair those to have the correct numbers at a later date.
Separately, we put together a small QoL update for you which we'll ship soon. We added a way to reset your progress for people who want to do the puzzle over again, and we made a change to portal controls. Now you can choose to only go back ONE stage on a mistake (though you still may need to go all the way back if you used your consumables too early!) We wanted to make sure portal controls wasn't holding people back from enjoying the rest of the puzzle. Don't be surprised when a tiny new button shows up on the portal control station - that's all it is.
While I'm here I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the amazing community joining us on these puzzles. We all look forward to finishing each update so that we can be amazed at how fast you demolish our hard work. Not to mention the hilarious memes - the office has to listen to us laughing out loud a lot. Hence the little Easter egg we slipped in. We hope the potato cup was enough of a hint that it was just for fun and not part of the core story. 
Looking forward to giving you more puzzles and comics in the new year,

You can solve the door still. You will need to eventually. Sadly your reward for now will only be that lab page. We're really sorry for the bugs that slipped through. They got confused for the bugs that were supposed to be in the mortar & pestle.

I've been reflecting on this:

I don't see anything saying the ingredients can't be a part of the music door solution, only the potion times and the complete solution of the potion puzzles can't be. The word "parallel" is tough because it can either mean:

A: The door and the potions are two completely separate puzzles that never intersect. Their only commonality is that the become available for solving after opening the hatch.

B: The parallel puzzles are like parallel stories; two separate narratives linked by a shared character, event, or theme.

- The labels on the test tubes should be fixed now, everyone should see the same numbers and the timezone should be correct - let me know if this is not the case for you. Reminder for everybody that the test tubes are NOT one of the clues for the musical door puzzle (free hint you got because of our bugs!).
- Resetting your state is ready for beta testing. We'll be out until the new year so I recommend against testing it unless you're OK with the possibility of bugs we missed! https://exspectamus.dontstarvetogether.com/ResetProgress

OK, new minor release is ready. The victories journal lets you see what puzzles you've solved and which ones are still outstanding. There's a timestamp where we know it, and a star for the puzzles you solved before we started recording completion times. We're waiting to see what people think before we go back and add it for older puzzles. And yeah, obviously there's a little hint as well.

The number (1275[0/8/9]) at the bottom seems like a potential data point, but so too do the letters in Buckeye Banking.

• Buckeye Banking - 14 characters (15 including the space between "buckeye" and "banking"
  • The 'e's, the 'a', and the 'g' have stars in them, and e/a/g are all musical notes.
  • Unfortunately, the 'i' has a star above it as well, and 'i' isn't a note. (if it was an 'h', we might fudge things to treat it as a g#)
• For me, the filename of the note using the browser developer tools was: 
  • CAA07473CBE5F4846D85FF5616B708EA
    • This is probably madness, but because the filename appears to be hexadecimal, the letters in the string are all musical notes (there are 13 of them by my count)
• I tried separating the image into different components (CYMK/HSV/HSL/LAB/LCH/RGB) but nothing jumped out to me.

Figuring out the alchemy values on the mixing ingredients has been a ton of fun to work through. I may have made some mistakes or false assumptions, but I believe the final real values of the ingredients are as follows:

My interest in these values is that I believe they may help with the door puzzle. I have tried a few variations already with the 643 note, with my main assumption being that the note refers to the bells like this:

I have tried numbering the 12 mixable ingredients in the order they appear in the book, followed by numbering the alchemy values in the order they appear in the book, then playing the 6,4,3 values for each ingredient on 12 individual beats. Maybe my numbers are wrong, or the way I input them was wrong, but this was the incorrect answer. My biggest problem is that I don't have a good theory on how many beats should be played.

I've also wondered if there is subtle clues elsewhere than the notes, like maybe this picture refers to the spiral alchemy value in some special way:

  Hide contents

I can gladly show more of my notes if people want to check my numbers or solution. I just think it is highly suspicious that these alchemy ingredients have confusing values and wonder if the reason we are stuck on the door puzzle was because we didn't understand enough of its parallel puzzle.

Looks like I am going to have to think of something new.

 

I don't understand enough about chords to try this.

  (Fun fact, the post below is my personal favorite insight. Reading the crumpled note as "6-4-2" with the note reading 643 feels /incredibly/ clever)

Update: There's been a change to the empty stamp in the Victory Journal
It now has 3 lines in it on the large side

Notably, this is similar to the gaps in between the numbers on the Buckeye Banking slip, so presumably we need those numbers plus something else

Given the recent "mnemonic aid" hint, there's approximately zero chance it involves alchemy. Those results were unknown to Wagstaff until recently.

There's also a somewhat lowered chance that Witherstone's deposit amount is relevant. (If Witherstone has been insistent that this amount be paid back, then maybe it's important to Wagstaff. We know Maxwell got threatening letters.) It's still four digits.

Wagstaff's whistling and 643 are reminders provided by Wagstaff himself. High probability. (Wagstaff isn't going to reuse the hatch code for the door right behind it. We're done with that.)

The bank note's date could be important to Wagstaff. The year's been obscured, but 08/10 (American) would be the presumed anniversary for the funding of his factory. (We're told we already figured out the parts, but IDK what's been discussed on Discord. The hint not grouping in twos works against this one.)

I would have sworn someone also posted an image similar to the following, but I couldn't track down the post.

 

Note that there's a conspicuous absence of notes about 643 in what I've gathered here. That's because there have been so many varied suppositions that I couldn't meaningfully narrow them down.

And here's a collection of clues/insights focusing on the musical aspect:

here's my current notes rn,

it seems the 2 leads are 643 and the gramophone, but i swear ive done every possible combo of 643/

EDIT: There's also the whistling, but that suffers the same issue as 643; just not alot of notes compared to the 20 you can have

I'm pretty sure the musical notes range from C to B, not G to F#, assuming you're starting with the one that does one click of the rotary dial like a phone. Not only because I checked it against the actual pitch of a piano, but also because the white and black dots match the white and black keys of a piano. So it's like in this post:

I *THINK* (if we haven't mentioned it here already) that the music puzzle is a Chromatic Scale, it has 12 keys (5 black keys, 7 white keys presented in the puzzle as white circles and black circles), but I'm not sure if it's ascending or descending or what 6 4 3 means in this instance. Perhaps:
6 - A (quarter note)
4 - F (eighth note)
3 - E (half note)

where did you get those notes? they are simply not correct. the notes are F#5+G#4, E5+F#4, C#5+D4, C#5+D4. Tho there is a lot of post processing crap as can be seen here:

those peaks are heavily filtered

Haha true, thank you very much!

i went so far i pulled sound from the short, put it throuh the app i use, pull the notes and repeated them on the door. no luck. tho they sound identical, i assume whoever made the music gave sounds to puzzlemakers

Good idea! So I think the notes from the short are

G6+E6+C#6
G#6+D#6+C6
F#6+E6+C#6
-
A6+F#6+D#6+F#5, right?

Looks great for the puzzle, but couldn't make it work either.. Maybe it's something about the tempo? Long desperate shot, but maybe the first six notes are a group, then three and then four. Rearranging it to 6-4-3 seems off and doesn't work either though..

Basically I tried to recreate the Wagstaff whistling sound as closely as I could 



When I noticed the connection between 643 and the chord progression.



So I just translated 643 alphabetically, which resulted in "F D C" - very close to the Wagstaff whistling sounds.
I think it does makes sense, him having the encoded note of his secret musical password and it getting stuck in his head.



I tried to experiment a bit with the octave lever (FD up, CC down and vice versa) and slightly different versions of the chord progressions above, but I couldn't make it work yet.
Maybe one of you can translate the whistling more accurately or has new input, but I think the 6433 - FDCC connection seems too good to ignore

Btw, the last whistling note seems to be played twice, but maybe it's just Wagstaffs ferocious whistling style and the notes are actually just FDC, connecting it even closer to the 643. Unfortunately, no 3-Chord combination worked for me so far.. 


Either way, I hope it's the right direction!

I'm going to share what I think I understand about the musical door puzzle.

I'll start with the phone/instrument.

It has 12 numbers that correspond to notes, the white and black keys match a piano. Because of the layout of black and white keys we know number 1 is a C, and since C is 1 I believe our root is C.

I also believe because the tool has 3 bells on it, we are meant to enter chords (3 numbers per push of the red button)

For everyone's benefit I'm going to post the numbers matching each major chord.

A (A,C#,E)        - 10,2,5
A#(A#,D,F)      - 11,3,6
B (B,D#,F#)     - 12,4,7
C (C,E,G)          - 1,5,8
C#(C#,F,G#)   - 2,6,9
D (D,F#,A)       - 3,7,10
D#(D#,G,A#)  - 4,8,11
E (E,G#,B)       - 5,9,12
F (F,A,C)          - 6,10,1
F#(F#,A#,C#)- 7,11,2
G (G,B,D)        - 8,12,3
G#(G#,C,D#) - 9,1,4

Now my working theory is the post-it note is a chord progression from a C Major scale. 
Which would mean we need to enter the 3 chords, A, F and E.
I believe the line on the post-it by 4 and 3 references the octave handle on the right side, 4 needs the handle up and 3 needs it down. 6 is written in line with 4 so I believe the handle needs to be up for that also. You can see a similar line on the wood the handle is connected to.

Now entering those 3 chords above does not open the door, so obviously there is something I'm missing.

I've tried inverting the octave handle for the chords, I've tried using minor chords instead of major chords. I've even tried going through all the major and minor scales with that same progression in case we are not in fact working in the root of C. I even tried the progression with C in the blues  and Diminished scales.

No luck yet, but it feels like everything is lined up and making sense and I'm just missing a piece of the puzzle.

My guess is that the sound bell puzzle has nothing to do with the ingredients as it is from a posterior panel.

I feel it's worthy to mention that the puzzle has 24 note options divided by the lever. The sounds are:
bell1

bell2

bell3

bell4

bell5

bell6

bell7

bell8

bell9

bell10

bell11

bell12

bell13

bell14

bell15

bell16

bell17

bell18

bell19

bell20

bell21

bell22

Also the silver and copper rings thing has 20 levels if you consider the lowest as 1

 

  

On 1/9/2026 at 4:30 PM, kiwikenobi said:

The whistle is four sets of two notes played an octave apart, I think. I'm far from an expert on actual chord transcription--I'm much better at individual notes--but I believe I'm hearing, an octave apart:

 

F#F#

EE

C#C#

C#C#

 

And I believe the tempo of his whistling is something like 140BPM, which doesn't really go into the 90BPM of the musical lock very well.

If someone who knows more about this has different information, then please correct me, I'm more than happy to be mistaken about this, and maybe it's a useful clue.

OK, since I learned about the puzzle just a few days ago, I decided to read the entire thread in hope to find some clues.
Someone (I would like to give them credit, but I have no strength to go all over the replies again) did a spectogram of soundwaves from Wagstaff's whistle audio, but I couldn't find anyone trying to do the very same thing with the gramophone (I could've missed it, tho).
I downloaded Sonic Visualiser and got the image which shows some symbols and there's even an arrow within a circle (on the right side, closer to the centre).

Maybe it's a clue? I'm attaching the song audio and the image for anyone who would maybe want to make the image more sharp or mess with the tune in the SV.

Another 4-input could be the G-F-D#-D# sound made by Wagstaff. It's hard to work with only "1275", and I'm pretty sure the correct "plus something" would make this rotary piano puzzle clear.

  console.log("Pausing for", music.length*0.75, "seconds to let music play");
  await sleep(music.length*750);
}

This code assumes the following correlation between the rotary buttons and notes:

To input a music sequence (after entering the above code in the browser's console), use the playMusic() function in the browser's console (F12):

playMusic( [ [music notes for notch 1], [music notes for notch 2], ... , [up to music notes for notch 20] ] )

Music notes should be enclosed in quotes.  If more than one note is desired in a single notch, then the notes should be separated by commas also.  If you wish to have a higher octave for a particular note, then use "^" at the end of the note.  

For example, this input will play a sequence of: A (higher octave), F (higher octave), F# (lower octave), C# (higher octave), E (higher octave):

playMusic([ ["a^"], ["f^"], ["f#"], ["c#^"], ["e^"] ]);

If you want to play multiple music sequences consecutively, then also use await operator in front of the each playMusic() function. 

For example, to play two sequences one followed by the other... with the first sequence being the same as the first example above, followed by a second sequence of: A# (higher octave) + A# (lower octave), B (lower octave), blank, C(lower octave) + C# (lower octave), use this input:

await playMusic([ ["a^"], ["f^"], ["f#"], ["c#^"], ["e^"] ]); await playMusic([ ["a#^", "a#"], ["b"], [], ["c", "c#"] ]);

There is a pause of 0.75 seconds per occupied notch after each music sequence is fully inputted.  Hopefully, this is a sufficient enough buffer for a music sequence to be completely played out before the script tries entering the next sequence.

---

EDIT: Should note that both lowercase and uppercase letters work for the input.  For example:

playMusic([ ["E"], ["G"], ["C"], ["D"], ["E"] ])

---

EDIT 2: I had someone ask to see an example of how to use the script, so here's a clip of it playing the Wagstaff Whistle with:

playMusic( [ ["f#"], ["d#"], ["c#"], ["c#"] ] )

There is theory I thought. The first digits are 1,2,7,5 and 5th digit is not 1 number, but the 643, 6 normal,4 switch/lever down,3 switch/lever up. The bank notes last digit is not shown,the part is ripped off, there is another paper containing numbers its 64--3, one - below 4, one - above 3. And theory contains that one of this things(switch or lever), could be changed mid dialing, and that last digit could be 3 digits, 6,then switch/lever down 4,switch/lever up 3. I can be wrong, when I write switch/lever it means switch or lever, not switch and lever. Try this if there is nothing left to try and puzzle still is not solved. I will not participate in this anymore, I can't,and I"ll just confuse everyone more if I do.

What were the exact notes on Wagstaff whistling, again? I lost and can't find it ;-; I want to test some things with it, since we were close on day 1. I think it might be as simple as something involving it.

Edit: Nevermind, just found it. It was 7 5 2 2 (right?).

Nome has been recommending you verify the info you get from others because it may not be accurate.

[AlexAT]

Idk, I tried every possible combination of 1, 2, 7, 5 (with ^ and without ^), plus [6^, 4^, 3] (played at the same time).

I also tried every combination of 1, 2, 7, 5, 8 (with ^ and without ^).
8 was just random, because I thought maybe 6 × (4 / 3) = 8.

Btw… I hadn’t noticed if anyone said whether someone actually understands what that hint means (image in spoiler tag). I know we found out about it a few days ago, but any clues? Tbh, this "hint" has just cornered me even more…

Spoiler

Kinda going insane with this puzzle… 😭

(Btw, you can play more than one note at the same time. Idk, I think I tried it before and it didn’t work, but now it kind of does…)

Incoming change: we've adjusted the bell sound for additional clarity. You may need to force-reload to get the new sounds.

It's a question of what is the rectangular thing and how big is the hole? For any longer sequences you would have to try pauses and layering in different ways if there is a nonstandard kind of combination (e.g. if you have a 4 note sequence and 1 note sequence does it go 1+4 or 4+1 or 1 overlapped over the 4 in first position or with repetition?) not to mention having to completely redo it with any mistakes or nonsuccesses.

This latest clue of marking the crest can be a bit ambiguous. One would assume to put it on top, but it is also valid to think that it can go 1 above or below so it remains visible.

I think it refers to the whistle because that is a sequence of 4 and the gaps do not look like it is meant to represent the columns of the bank note, which have upper and lower borders and a 5th number that is a 0?

It might be best to ignore it and go for what was originally intended or work on filling the gaps, as it could end up as another "red herring" with its nonstandard way of showing a relation (key overlapping box, 5 potions on 1 page).

[AtxSmudge]

Throwing this out there: The whistle sounds like 2 notes. The top line is F#, E, C#, C# ... but they aren't octaves. The closest I can tell is the bottom line is G#, F#, D, D.  I attached a rough idea of what it would look like when notated.

community: Is this another clue to solving the puzzle? Do the sounds correspond to the letters for the combinations? Let's give it a try!

P.S. is not a hint for solving the puzzle. Just irony about the situation.

So many interesting approaches to experiment. I'll share mine.

643 had incorrect underlining and overlining due to human error.

That was always the case, also a reason for me that the proposed solutions that dont include any composite note at any position feels wrong

[Malfario]

I think we are overcomplicating this to an extreme, the solution has to be much more simplier and we know people here has gotten close.

1275 + 643 is most likely the solution  and we just need an iteration of it that makes sense. 

Aditionally i wanted to point out something i recently noticed

If you notice the 1275 is torned up in a way the 2 and 7 could be interpreted as being underlined, and by contrast the 1 and 5 seem upper lined, this could indicate the 2 and 7 are played with the lower pitch and the 1 and 5 with a higher pitch. My former theory interpreted the two clues like this.

1(H) I 2(L) I 7(L) I 5(H) I 6(H)4(H)3(L) // H=High note L=Low note

I got nothing, Sure i am interpreting the upper lines like high pitch and the under lines like low pitch and it might as well be the reversed, Gotta try all those variants.

However i have the feeling there is more that meet the (Buck)eye, If we look up the names we can read "With G For TU", but if we get a little creative and read those as they sound/look we can get "With 642" AND WOUDL YOU LOOK AT THAT, THE 6 HAS THE PART WITH THE DOTTED LINE RIPPED UP, SO WE COULD GET THAT THE 6 IS UPPERLINED, AND THE 4 AND 2 UNDERLINED HAVING THE PITCH FOR A THRE NOTE CORD.

The three lines on the clues from the notebook i am not sure if they are just meant to indicate that the bank receipt its what we are looking for, if its the separation between cords, indicate spaces on the beat etc, however if we understand those notes like just the separation between beats, it would give us 4 beats plus thr adtional one for the right side of the clue, which matches with the 5 beat solution hinted by the new higlited ring on the beat counter.

I dont know if anything here its close ott he solution but i think we are getting close, good luck everybody
