The whiteboard stayed blank until I aimed Glowby at it and watched numbers bleed into life. I heard my heartbeat outpace the ambient hum. One wrong tap and a run evaporates.
I’ve played through the UV tricks, the pressure grips, and the Huggy chases so you don’t have to learn the hard way — I’ll show you every code, where the clues hide, and the small tricks that save time. Treat this as a field guide: short, sharp, and built around how you actually move through Chapter 5 on Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation.
I’ve seen UV scribbles in more workshops than I can count — All codes and puzzle solutions in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5
Quick reference: the chapter leans heavily on Glowby (the UV mechanic), the Pressure Hand, and three memories that generate a six-digit code. Below are the codes you can paste in or memorize, with the exact places to scan and why they matter.
What is the Pressure Hand code?
Scan the whiteboard with Glowby to reveal 0 8 5 9. You’ll use the Pressure Hand after that — the UV hint is the chapter’s new heartbeat, showing where to press and when.
How do I get the Memories code?
The Memories code is generated at runtime. You must collect all three Memories, place them in the terminals, and run the machine three times. Each successful Huggy Wuggy sequence gives you two digits of the final six-digit code. In practice: complete the shape-placement, stand in the spotlight when the music cuts, and force your way out by removing the plugs and breaking the grate — the machine then hands you the next two digits.
Where is the piano code?
On the upper floor of Lily Lovebraids’ mansion, free the party guest from the horn statue with the Pressure Hand. Play keys in this order: Star Diamond Flower Heart. The sequence yields one of Lily’s dinner guests and a small progression advantage.
Master Backup files — where to find the workshop code
Use Glowby on the whiteboard and then peer through the window at the shelving unit marked “SP.” The container labeled 9 4 points you to the metal walkway number. Input 5 6 0 into the workshop keypad to claim the Master Backup files.
Red smoke valve puzzle
Glowby reveals the valve order. Turn the valves exactly as shown: Triangle, Star, Circle, Hexagon. After flipping the control-room lever and getting fire via the Conductive Hand, you can break the window to enter the pirate-ship room and collect the Memory.
Emotion door code
The final Memory reveals the emotion sequence. At the emotion door near the eight Ms. Gracie projectors enter: Happy Happy Disgust Sad Fear Happy. This door hides one of the Chapter 5 secret VHS tapes if you want the extra lore.
Use the projectors to distract Huggy — Collectible locker code (BLANKY Blankz)
If you’re hunting the Wrongside Outimal collectible, hide in the safe rooms and rotate the projectors to display Kissy Missy’s face — Huggy will chase the light. Four sheets in the safe rooms spell the code: enter 1 9 3 6 into the locker. I recommend grabbing this early so a single death doesn’t force a repeat run.
There’s a rhythm to these sequences; approach the arena like a watchmaker and the moves fall into place like gears. Use the safe rooms, keep doors propped when useful, and treat each projector as bait.
Find the backup red door code
Four scraps in the room with the red door reveal each digit. That room contains the Golden Limon Collectible and leads toward Upper Observation / Examination Rooms. The code is 7 8 0 2.
Surgical Rooms code
Above the Grand Stitchery, scan the corridor with Glowby and enter 2 3 1 into the three locked doors to reach Surgery Rooms below.
Red tape code
Break the two windows above the stairwell, pull electricity through the broken pane with the Conductive Hand, and power the opposite door to access Surgery 2. Scan the walls in that room with Glowby to reveal 7 2 8 and claim the red tape.
If a run feels tight, pause and scan every whiteboard and container — the UV mechanic is the chapter’s compass and often the single difference between a clean run and a long repeat. The codes above are the shortcuts and the safety net; use them like a map, not a crutch.
Which of these codes cost you the most practice to discover the hard way?
