Find out how to crack the Jacks Inn Motel Safe in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
Silent Hill 2 Remake, like the original, is full of puzzles that you’ll need to solve. While going stressing about the many horrors of Silent Hill, you’ll also have to stress about clues and whether you missed any, lest you get stuck on a puzzle.

Furthermore, a lot of clues are very confusing, and some might not even make much sense, and the puzzles can be so frustrating that the developers even give you the option to make them easier.
In this article, we’ll be looking at a puzzle that you’ll need to solve to progress the game, the Jacks Inn Motel Safe puzzle.

Cracking the Safe in Jacks Inn
You’ll reach Jacks Inn in the Western South Vale while you’re escorting Maria through the fog, progressing through the main story.
On the second floor, go to Room 108. The door will be closed, and you’ll need the wooden plank to break the window to get in.
You can find the wooden plank in the Apartment Complex on Martin Street as you progress through the story.
Once inside, break the wall on the far side of the door, with the wooden plank, to get access to Room 107.
Inside Room 107, take the Toolbox Memo next to the toolbox on the table next to the window. This memo contains the clue to cracking the safe.
Next, head to the office downstairs to interact with the safe below the office table.
Depending on what difficulty you’re playing the clue and the code to the safe will be different.
Light Difficulty
From this clue it can be deciphered that the safe code is 0451. No money is 0, four is 4, fifth is 5, and onesie is 1.
Standard Difficulty
You’ll need to do some simple math to decipher this code:
- One one Less is 1-1, which gives us 0
- Three one more is 3+1, giving us 4
- Eight three less is 8-3, which is 5
- zero one more is 0+1, which is 1
Thus, the code is 0451, same as light difficulty.
Hard Difficulty
This code is much more difficult to figure out, it is Hard Difficulty after all. The key here is to look at the words that are in caps.
So we have ALL ROOMS MULTIPLY ROOM UPSTAIRS TIMES THIRTY THREE ADD UP FIVE OF US.
There are 8 rooms in the motel and 2 rooms upstairs. Multiplying 8 by 2, we get 16. 16 times 33 is 528. 528 plus 5 is 533. Now if we look at the back of the memo it has 4 Xs, which indicates that it is in fact a 4-digit code. Thus, the code is 0533.
Reward for Cracking the Motel Safe
Inside the safe, you’ll find the Gate Key, which you can use to unlock the locked safe near the motel and progress to the next portion of the game.
