Are you trying to unlock the Coffee World safe in Alan Wake 2? Here’s how to solve one of the trickiest puzzles in the game. While Alan Wake 2 has become famous for its puzzles, this one is significantly harder compared to previous ones, and took me quite a while before I was able to figure it out. Thankfully, you don’t have to go through much trouble as this guide will showcase how to find the safe code easily.
How to unlock the Coffee World safe in Alan Wake 2
To unlock the Coffee World safe in Alan Wake 2, simply insert the 1-4-6 code. You don’t have to solve anything else or understand how to find the code if you don’t want to. However, if you’re curious as to how you can solve this puzzle, we’ll go through everything you need to know.
To solve the puzzle normally, check the note above the safe and focus on its bottom right corner. There are three underlined words: Tracker, Lookout, Cleaner. Ignore the rest of the note and the other underlined words on the top since they are only there to confuse you.
Next, head to the other side of the room where you’ll find a large notice board with nine staff members. While there is no Tracker, Lookout, or Cleaner, there are three similar options and those are the right answer. Specifically, you’re looking for Lost and Found (=Tracker), Security (=Lookout), and Janitor (=Cleaner).
On each of the three people’s photos, check and count the coffee beans, which are the final safe combination. Thus, since the Lost and Found person has one bean, the first number is one. The Security person has four beans and the Janitor has six. As a result, the answer is 1-4-6.
In conclusion, to unlock the Coffe World safe in Alan Wake 2, you must insert the code 1-4-6, which you can find by checking the note above the safe and matching the roles with the jobs of the people. There are too many red herrings in this puzzle, such as the underlined words on the upper part of the note and the fact that the jobs are not mentioned clearly but are only synonyms. Would you be able to solve this on your own? If yes, how long would it take? Don’t hesitate to share your experiences with this puzzle.
