In Silent Hill: Townfall, the 5 Upper Brae tape player puzzle requires players to manipulate time using various tapes to uncover a hidden code. This is one of three locker barcode puzzles found in Part 4 of the game, offering a unique look into the past, present, and future states of an employee's home.
Upon entering 5 Upper Brae, players will find several items: two Pistol Rounds and one Flare Round in a kitchen box; a save phone and two messages on an answer machine in the lounge; Alcohol and Gauze in the bathroom; and a transcription player, a note reading 'Today, my number was,' with a blurred number, and a locked file box upstairs.
Solving the 5 Upper Brae Puzzle
To begin, collect the 'Tape: Today' from the transcription player. Then, proceed to the children's bedroom to collect 'Tape: Yesterday' from a lockbox. Inserting 'Tape: Yesterday' into the transcription player will alter the house.
Next, enter the lounge to find 'Tape: Tomorrow' in a lockbox. The kitchen will yield a note stating, 'Today my number was 192.' After inserting 'Tape: Tomorrow' into the player, the house transforms again. The kitchen will then contain 'Tape: Do Not Play' in a lockbox.
Upon collecting 'Tape: Do Not Play', enter the lounge and find another note: 'Today my number was 125.' With the house transformed once more, return to the kitchen to collect the '5 Upper Braes Back Door Key.'
Now, insert 'Tape: Today' into the transcription player and proceed to the garden shed to collect the 'Ammonite Disk.' Following this, insert 'Tape: Yesterday' into the player and turn on the PC. The 'Ammonite Disk' should be inserted into the Disk Reader next to the PC.
Reading the 'Current Count' email, players can deduce the file box code. With the notes 'Today my number was 192' and 'Today my number was 125,' the email reveals the number 129 as the code situated between those two figures.
Finally, use 'Tape: Today' in the transcription player and input the code 129 into the locked file box. This action will allow players to collect the 'Locker 94 barcode.' Players can then return to CEG Lockers. The next locker barcode is located at 6 North Brae.
