The Sinking City 2 Wireless Room Numbers: 13, 05, 36

The three numbers

13, 05, 36. Enter them in that order at the wireless set. The Sinking City 2 does not shuffle these between saves, so the numbers you read here are the numbers your build wants.

The leading zero on 05 matters — the interface expects two digits per entry, and entering a bare 5 is one of the two reasons this puzzle appears not to work.

Where the numbers come from

Each is a room number that appears in the documents around this part of the hotel and printing house sequence. Picking those documents up has a second payoff: the same evidence feeds the Investigation Space, and correctly linking clues there is how you earn Dream Essence.

If you would rather not hunt paperwork mid-chapter, use the numbers above and come back for the documents on a sweep before the chapter ends — but do come back, because there is no chapter select and the evidence does not follow you into the next area.

Step-by-step

1. Interact with the wireless set. The dial interface appears with space for a two-digit entry.
2. Enter 13. Confirm.
3. Enter 05. Include the leading zero.
4. Enter 36. Confirm to complete the sequence.

The other locks in this chapter

The Wake-Up Call is the densest chapter in The Sinking City 2 for locked things, which is why players search for four different solutions from this one area:

If the wireless will not accept the numbers

• Drop the leading zero and it fails. Enter 05, not 5.
• Order matters. 13 first, then 05, then 36.
• You have not triggered the objective yet. Some interactions in this chapter only accept input once the relevant task is active — check your map for the current task, which is Frogwares' own advice for anyone stuck in the story.

Reading the hotel's numbers correctly

Two-digit entries appear in a handful of places in this chapter and they are not interchangeable. Room 301 is the safe upstairs and takes a four-digit code; the wireless wants three separate two-digit numbers. If you have been trying 130536 as a single string, that is the mismatch.

There is a broader habit worth forming here. The Sinking City 2 writes every number it wants you to use somewhere physical — a sign, a bell, a ledger, a guest list — and the length of the entry field tells you what kind of source to look for. Four digits means a year or a date. Two digits, repeated, means room numbers or shelf labels. Symbols mean a document with names in it, like the obelisk.

That pattern holds all the way to the last chapter, and it is the fastest way to stop being stuck without a guide open on your phone.
