Once you’re at Chapter 6: Part 2 of The Slums, you will get into a conversation with Seamus. He will be surprised to find out that there’s a secret room somewhere in his flat. However, since he has no clue where that might be, it will be up to you to find it.

After all, solving this puzzle will allow you to progress your path to obtain a weapon for Zurks. Let’s have a look at how you can solve it.

Where to Find Secret Room/Lab Code in The Slums in Stray

There’s absolutely no hint given to you for this puzzle. Instead, you’ll have to do some knocking stuff down in order to reveal the right code that you need.

To be more specific, you’ll want to hop onto Seamus’s drawer on the corner and scratch the first picture frame on top of you. This will reveal a code lock that will allow you to open the door to the secret room with the right code.

After that, proceed to scratch the picture frame on the far right depicting two robots shaking hands. This will reveal a cipher that you should translate via B-12. The cipher translates as “Time Will Tell”, indicating that the lab code you need has something to do with the clocks.

Just right above Seamus’s couch, you’ll see four wall clocks, each having a different time. You just have to read the short hand, and this will give you the code which is 2-5-1-1. Now, all you need to do is enter the code on the code lock. It will then open up a secret wall leading to the secret room just right next to it.
