The Black Mirror Hints
How can I get from the boiler room to the cell area?
1 of 10: Explore the rear part of the boiler room to find a locked door.
2 of 10: If you examine the panel to the left of the door, you'll see that it's one of those numeric-code locks. Also notice the little keyhole on the panel above the numbers.
3 of 10: In order to open the door, you'll need to find the key and the code for the panel.
4 of 10: Thankfully, both are nearby.
5 of 10: Check out the notice board in the little side area in the back.
6 of 10: The key you seek is hanging along the bottom of the notice board. Get the notice board close-up view, then click on the key to take it.
7 of 10: Also, look around at all the notices. Do any numbers jump out at you?
8 of 10: How about that follies poster? It says "1918" in big numerals.
9 of 10: That could be the door's code! It's right handy there for the worker in case he forgets it.
10 of 10: Click on the door's panel, insert the key, and enter the code 1918 (pressing the big "enter code" button at the bottom of the panel when done).
