Block Tales Demo 5 hides a lot of small secrets, but the Mona Lisa puzzle is easily one of the most interesting ones. It’s not just about finding it—you also need patience to complete it. The reward makes it worth the effort, especially if you enjoy hidden challenges. This guide will walk you through where to find the puzzle and how to complete it without wasting too much time.
Where to Find the Mona Lisa Puzzle
The Mona Lisa painting is hidden inside a secret area called the Splintered Secret Room. As the name suggests, this location isn’t visible right away. To access it, head to Splintered Skies 9 and look for a sign that says “no noobs.” It might look like a joke at first, but that’s actually your entry point. Here’s what you need to do:
- Sail directly into the no noobs sign
- Continue moving left after passing through
- Look for a platform where you can stop
- Get off and find an NPC named Dubois
Talk to Dubois and select Yes to begin the Mona Lisa painting challenge.
How the Mona Lisa Puzzle Works
Once the puzzle starts, you’ll be given a blank grid that you need to fill in.
- The canvas is made up of 100 pixels (10×10 grid)
- You’ll have access to 24 different colors
- A reference image appears on the side of your screen
Your goal is to recreate the Mona Lisa pixel by pixel using the correct colors. Every correct placement increases your progress, while mistakes can slow you down. This isn’t a timed challenge, but it does require accuracy.
