In Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic, one of the key challenges involves unlocking Edwin’s room by solving the "DAVID" door code puzzle. To progress, you must locate five hidden birthday reels, play them in the correct order, and decipher the code they reveal.
This step-by-step guide will help you find all the reels, determine the correct sequence, and input the final code to advance in the game.
When you enter Edwin’s house, you’ll find yourself in a room with a projector on a table and an inventory tube station nearby. This is your central hub for solving the puzzle.
Your objective is to collect five birthday reels hidden throughout the house and play them in a specific order to reveal the door code.
Each reel is stored inside a safe in different rooms. Here’s where to look:
From the projector room, go through the door next to the inventory tube system.
Enter the living area with a tiger mascot costume on the table.
Nearby, there’s a small room with a safe—open it to retrieve the first reel.
Exit the projector room and turn left into the hallway.
Enter the next room, then go right into a connecting room.
Check the corner near a round table for another safe containing the second reel.
Go to the end of the hallway near the staircase.
Enter the room and crawl through the open vent to reach a storage area.
Open the safe inside to collect the third reel.
Carefully head upstairs, avoiding the Mimic.
At the top, enter the room directly ahead.
The fourth reel is inside the safe in this room.
Proceed down the second-floor hallway to the very end.
Enter the left-side room with a round table and workbench.
The final reel is in the safe between these objects.
Once all five reels are on the projector table, follow these steps:
Look at the projector screen—you’ll see the name "DAVID" spelled out in different colors.
The colors correspond to the order in which you must play the reels.
Note: The color sequence is randomized in each playthrough, so pay close attention.
Play the reels in the correct color-based order.
At the end of each reel, a number will appear—write these down.
After playing all five reels correctly, you’ll have a 5-digit code.
Go to Edwin’s room keypad and input the numbers in the same order.
The door will unlock, allowing you to continue your journey in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic.
Stay stealthy—the Mimic can appear at any moment.
Double-check the color sequence before playing the reels to avoid mistakes.
If the code doesn’t work, replay the reels in the correct order again.
By following this guide, you’ll efficiently solve the "DAVID" door code puzzle and progress further into the game. Happy hunting!
