• The small box requires a password to open it.
• The password is all numbers and requires a little bit of detective work to figure out.
• If you remember the only place in the game with numbers was the phone numbers which are too long and the numbers on the blocks in the nursery room that had been boarded up.
• We know the first letter of the child’s name was R, so search for that block and find it has a number 5 on it.
• The blocks below it spell out the end of what could be the child’s name: O-B-I-N. Plus R at the beginning and that spells ROBIN. There aren’t any other names spelled out in the letters so that should be it.
• Check the numbers beside each letter and you will get the password 59097.
