Or you can enjoy solving the minigame yourself, too.
When you come across the hint from the newspaper about a hidden chest at the top of the Town Hall in Paralives, you are in for a puzzle if you take this challenge on.
Here’s a quick guide showing you how to go through the secret passage, solve the Town Hall puzzle, and get the chest in Paralives.
How to Solve the Chest Puzzle at the Town Hall in Paralives
Before anything, make sure you don’t have shift incoming and pay attention to the time. The Town Hall & Library is only available from 8:00 to 21:00. If you come in a bit late, like around 15:00, it can be a bit tight since in-game time is quite fast, so plan your visit accordingly.
Next, once you go to the Town Hall, it’ll start loading the lot. When you see the loading lot bubble show up, make sure to pause or slow down the in-game time. You can’t enter any building if they aren’t loaded first, and this goes for any shop and key locations in the town.
Once you are inside the Town Hall, go up two floors until you see the chest and the fireplace. Keep in mind, if you hide the walls, the fireplace will not show up, oddly. Interact with the fireplace and select “Go through secret passage.”
Note: Each of the places is locked in – meaning, you can visually see the rooms when you browse around the Town Hall, but you’ll notice there are no entrances to some of these rooms because you need to enter through secret passages that lead toward the final chest.
You’ll enter a room with a coffin, a bookshelf, a cabinet, and a carpet in the middle. Go through the bookshelves to enter the next room.
Next, there will be two cabinets. Choose the one nearer to the wooden planks.
Next, you’ll enter a room with another white fireplace and a chest beside it. This isn’t the final chest yet. Interact with the fireplace to go to the next room.
In this area, you’ll actually spawn a bit farther, so you have to drag your camera until you see the black fireplace next to a bookshelf. Go through the bookshelf.
Here, you’ll teleport into a bathroom. There’s a door you can exit through and it takes you to the living room. In this living room, there’s another bookshelf just next to the bathroom door. Go through it.
You’ll find yourself trapped in a small room again with a fancier fireplace, a couch, and another cabinet. Go through the fireplace, which should be the final puzzle.
At the top of the castle, you’ll find a golden chest that has no value. Select it and click “Collect” to get your reward. It is called an “Enroque,” which is a decorative item for your home. It is cute, but there’s nothing else to it.
