During the chilling journey through the Otherworld Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 2, players encounter one of the game's most memorable moments inside an elevator. A mysterious radio broadcast begins playing, presenting James Sunderland with a creepy quiz show known as Trick or Treat. While you cannot answer the questions immediately in the elevator, solving this riddle later unlocks a decorative chest packed with valuable survival supplies.
Understanding the Trick or Treat Broadcast
The elevator quiz consists of three multiple-choice trivia questions based on the lore and geography of Silent Hill. The radio host asks about historical events, local crime reports, and street layouts found across the town. Paying close attention during earlier exploration helps reveal these answers naturally through environmental clues.
The Correct Quiz Answers and Combination Code
The first question asks about the number of souls lost during the historical plague, which is 67. The second question inquires about the road connecting Sanders Street and Nathan Avenue near the lumber yard, which is Wiltse Road. The final question asks for the name of Walter Sullivan's second murder victim, which is Miriam. Corresponding to their respective choices, the combination required to solve the puzzle is 2-3-1.
How to Unlock the Decorative Box in the Pharmacy
To claim your reward, head to the Pharmacy located on the first floor of Brookhaven Hospital. Inside, you will find a locked decorative box featuring three row entry buttons. Entering the correct code 2-3-1 will open the container, granting James ammunition and health syringes. However, inputting an incorrect answer causes harmful gas to damage James, so proceed with caution.
Tips for Managing Your Puzzle Progression
Because failing the puzzle inflicts heavy health penalties, saving your game right outside the Pharmacy is a wise strategy. Taking time to review memos and local map details helps solidify your understanding of the town's eerie lore. Successfully opening this optional chest provides a essential boost to your arsenal before facing harder challenges.
