Silent Hill: Townfall Puzzle Solutions & How Puzzles Work

How do puzzles work in Silent Hill: Townfall?

Puzzles in Townfall are clue-gated: a lock or mechanism will not accept the correct answer unless Simon has actually found the corresponding clue in the world. This is why the Clues & Documents category matters beyond completion — the 85 documents are both collectibles and puzzle keys.

The CRTV also feeds the puzzle loop: tuning into unstable CRTV signals surfaces narrative information and hints that would otherwise stay hidden.

What are the puzzle difficulty settings?

The setting changes presentation only — puzzle answers are identical on both — and it has no effect on trophies, so pick whichever feels right.
