Sinking City 2 Devil’s Reef Hotel Safe Code

The safe code for the Devil’s Reef Hotel in The Sinking City 2 is 9-3-7. You enter this code on the keypad of the safe located in the hotel manager’s office on the second floor. This code is fixed and does not change between playthroughs, so you can use it immediately when you reach the safe.

Where to Find the Devil’s Reef Hotel Safe

The Devil’s Reef Hotel is a significant location in the early-to-mid game, tied to the main investigation “The Awakening.” The safe itself is not in the lobby or the guest rooms; it is in the manager’s office, which is on the second floor. To reach it, go up the main staircase and turn right at the top. The office door may be locked, so you might need to pick the lock or find the key elsewhere in the hotel. Once inside, the safe is a wall-mounted unit behind the desk.

Why the Code Is 9-3-7 (and Not a Puzzle)

Unlike some other safes in the game, the Devil’s Reef Hotel safe does not require you to find a note, a diary page, or solve a riddle. The code 9-3-7 is a static combination that is always the same. Some players expect it to be hidden in the environment, but it is not. If you are looking for a clue in the hotel, you will not find one; the code is simply a fixed value. This is consistent with other pre-set safes in the game, such as the one in the City Hall, which also uses a fixed code.

How to Enter the Safe Code

When you approach the safe, you will see a keypad with numbers 0-9. Interact with it to bring up the input prompt. Enter the numbers in the correct order: 9, then 3, then 7. After the third digit, the safe will click and open. You do not need to press an “Enter” or “Confirm” button—the safe opens automatically once the correct sequence is entered. If you make a mistake, you can simply re-enter the code; there is no penalty for wrong attempts.

What’s Inside the Safe

The safe contains a key item that is essential for the main story: the hotel’s financial records. This document is part of the “The Awakening” investigation and provides crucial evidence about the hotel’s owner and the strange events occurring in Oakmont. It is not a weapon or a large amount of money, so do not expect a major loot drop. The records are a quest item, and you will need to examine them in your inventory to progress the investigation.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

Entering the code in the wrong order: The code is not 7-3-9 or 3-9-7. It is specifically 9-3-7. Double-check the order if the safe does not open.
Looking for a note: As mentioned, there is no clue in the hotel. Do not waste time searching every drawer for a code hint; it does not exist.
Thinking the code changes: The safe code is fixed for all playthroughs. If you are following a guide from a different playthrough, it will still be 9-3-7.

If the Safe Won’t Open

If you have entered 9-3-7 and the safe does not open, check the following:

Are you at the right safe? There are several safes in the hotel, but only the one in the manager’s office is the story-related safe. The others may have different codes or are not interactive.
Is the game updated? In rare cases, a bug might prevent the safe from opening. Save your game, reload, and try again. If the issue persists, verify your game files through your platform’s launcher.
Did you interact with the keypad correctly? Sometimes the interaction prompt is finicky. Stand directly in front of the safe and look at the keypad to ensure the prompt appears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the safe code different on higher difficulties?

No, the safe code is the same regardless of the difficulty setting. The code 9-3-7 is hardcoded and does not change. Difficulty only affects combat and resource availability, not puzzle solutions or safe codes.

Can I get the safe code from a note in the hotel?

No, there is no note in the hotel that provides the code. The code is not derived from any in-game document. It is a fixed code that you either know from a guide or stumble upon by trial and error (though that would take time). The game does not hide the code in a diary or a letter.

What happens if I enter the wrong code too many times?

Nothing. The safe does not lock you out or trigger an alarm. You can attempt the code as many times as you like. The only consequence is wasted time, so if you enter the wrong sequence, simply re-enter 9-3-7.

Do I need the safe code to progress the main story?

Yes, the financial records inside the safe are a mandatory story item. Without them, you cannot complete the “The Awakening” investigation and move on to the next main mission. Therefore, entering the code is not optional; it is required to advance the plot.

Is the safe code the same in the original Sinking City?

No, the original The Sinking City (2019) is set in the same universe but has different locations and safes. The Devil’s Reef Hotel is not in the original game. This safe code is specific to The Sinking City 2 and does not apply to any safe in the first game.

Can I open the safe before I have the mission?

You can reach the hotel and the manager’s office before you formally start the “The Awakening” mission, but the safe will not be interactive until the mission is active. If you try to enter the code earlier, the keypad will not respond. Once the mission is active, the safe becomes usable.
