Gone Home codes and keys: Sam’s locker, Dad’s cabinet and Oscar’s safe
A concise solution table for the house’s main locks.
Edition covered
The original Gone Home story with the updated PC release’s commentary and achievement features. Route and code pages contain puzzle spoilers; the family guide discusses relationships without quoting the final journal.
Lock solutions at a glance
The locker advances the main route by supplying the basement key. Dad’s filing cabinet and Oscar’s safe supply optional evidence, so their codes solve different kinds of obstruction.
| Lock | Solution | What it opens |
|---|---|---|
| Sam’s bedroom locker | 0501 | Basement key and personal items |
| Dad’s filing cabinet | 0451 | Optional office documents |
| Oscar’s basement safe | 1963 | Optional family-history evidence |
| Front door | Key beneath the Christmas duck | Entry to the house |
Find the clues instead of guessing
The codes are discoverable through exploration. Secret-compartment notes supply Sam’s combination, while office and hidden-passage documents support the optional locks.
| Clue | Search area | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Locker combination fragments | Hidden wall compartments | Combine the two number fragments |
| Filing-cabinet note | Dad’s office / library shelves | Use it at the cabinet |
| Safe-number evidence | Hidden passage near the guest room | Apply it to Oscar’s safe |
| Christmas duck | Porch cupboard | Lift the object rather than only inspecting its front |
The front-door key is outside
On the porch, inspect the cupboard and the Christmas duck decoration. Lift the duck to uncover the key before searching the rest of the exterior.
Keep optional evidence in context
Opening a safe early does not explain its contents automatically. Read the related rooms and letters to understand which family member or earlier event the papers concern.
