How to Solve Puzzle Codes in Bring Back The Sun

How Codes Work in This Game

Bring Back The Sun does not distribute promo codes through Twitter or Discord. Every number you type into a keypad is a puzzle password derived from the environment. That design choice confuses players searching for "codes" online expecting free items. On this wiki, "puzzle codes" means the safe combinations and door PINs hidden inside each map.

Codes are fixed for the main story maps. Once you learn the logic, you can enter them on future playthroughs without re-deriving math. We still recommend understanding the clue path at least once—later Boss Fight mechanics reuse counting, color, and categorization skills from these earlier puzzles.

Keypads accept digits without spaces unless noted. The Lava Temple safe uses two groups—211 and 8111—entered as part of a multi-stage interaction. If a pad beeps failure, you likely need a prerequisite item or clue UI before the game accepts the solution.

Wizard's House: Code 14

The bedroom spear clue asks you to count apples and oranges, add them, and multiply by two. The room contains three apples and four oranges, totaling seven. Seven multiplied by two equals fourteen. Enter 14 on the bedroom keypad to unlock the next area.

This puzzle teaches verification: if your count differs, you missed a fruit bowl on a side table. Walk the entire bedroom perimeter before re-entering digits.

Sinister Forest: Code 9898

Sinister Forest combines fertilizer bag counts with placement clues scattered along the forest path. Community walkthroughs and in-game signage converge on 9898 as the correct entry. Derive it by reading each fertilizer instruction panel and tracking how many bags belong in each plot segment rather than guessing permutations.

Complete obby sections first so all clue panels are reachable. Attempting the keypad before exploring the full forest causes partial numbers that look plausible but fail.

Ancient Ruins: Code 882

Ancient Ruins is widely considered the hardest numeric puzzle. Wall inscriptions and bucket measurements feed a three-digit result: 882. Gather every stone tablet text before typing. Skipping the water sequence produces wrong intermediate values even if you remember the final code from a guide.

If 882 fails, revisit lever states and ensure gold wheat is visible in the field—those steps gate the puzzle logic.

The Restaurant: Code 1573

The Restaurant safe code 1573 appears after inspecting dining room charts that reference table numbers, order tickets, or wall tallies depending on room version. Cross-check chart values against what you can count in the environment. Enter 1573 only after collecting recipe ingredients if the safe room is ingredient-gated.

The Lava Temple: Code 211 8111

The Lava Temple splits code entry across flame-color matching and a two-part safe sequence: 211 and 8111. Align torches or braziers to the colors shown on reference walls, then input each segment when the safe UI prompts you. Statue orientation toward the central pit often must be correct before the safe accepts the second half.

Document flame order on paper; swapping colors is the most common failure mode on this map alongside Ancient Ruins difficulty.

Troubleshooting Failed Keypads

If a known code fails, run this checklist before searching for alternate answers online. First, confirm you clicked every clue object in the same room or linked corridor—some maps gate keypads until UI text has appeared at least once. Second, verify inventory contains required tools; Restaurant and Lava Temple doors silently block codes when recipe or flame steps are incomplete.

Third, re-count physical objects tied to math clues. Wizard's House players sometimes miss a fruit bowl on a chair; Sinister Forest players miscount fertilizer bags when obby stress rushes them. Fourth, pause and reload the room by walking out and back in; Roblox interactables occasionally desync without losing progress.

Boss Fight rarely uses traditional keypads, but the same discipline applies to book slots and spell panels: complete prerequisite phases before assuming the solution itself is wrong.

Quick Reference Summary

Memorize this ordered list for speed runs after your first clear: Wizard's House 14, Sinister Forest 9898, Ancient Ruins 882, The Restaurant 1573, Lava Temple 211 then 8111. Pair numbers with map names aloud when typing so digits do not bleed across maps in one long session.

Our Codes page and Puzzle Code Reference tool duplicate this list in table form for second-screen use. Guides explain derivation; tools give confirmation when you already understand the clue path.
