There is no second thing that excites us when playingas irritating as the Polaroid photos hidden throughout the horror game? and that's even after we knew that collecting them unlocks a trophy. But what do the pictures want to tell us and what is the meaning of the seemingly incoherent texts on the Polaroids?
Now the big secret has been revealed and Mateusz Lenart, who as developer for Bloober Team was responsible for the mystery behind the images, has already congratulated the discoverer.
The real meaning behind the Polaroid photos
Congratulations go to DaleRobinson, who shared the secret behind the Polaroids with the Silent Hill community yesterdayon Redditshared.
This is the solution
If you look at the total of 26 Polaroids, there are striking objects hidden in each of them, such as burn holes, windows or birds.
- Step 1:Count the prominent objects in each Polaroid and remember the number.
- Step 2:Now look at the saying on the respective Polaroid and count the letters from left to right with the same number that indicates the striking object.
- Step 3:Repeat the process for each picture and put the letters together. To get the correct order, you have to turn the Polaroids over once.
If you have now recognized the correct object in all the pictures and noted the letter, the following saying should now appear in front of you:
YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DECADES
This is what the saying means:The phrase alludes to the time that has passed between the 2001 original and the remake of Silent Hill 2. James has been going through his personal ordeal for over two decades now.
By the way, we have summarized for you what James's story and the story of Silent Hill 2 are all about. You can also read where you can find the Polaroids here:
Developer congratulates on the big find
Although it is quite obvious that the solution is not just my imagination, Mateusz Lennart from Bloober Team confirms this again on X and writes:
"I knew it wouldn't take long (there was a theory among our team that the puzzle might be too hard). When drawing the photos I wanted to keep it really subtle. I think the timing to come up with the solution couldn't be better. congratulations!"

The Silent Hill community on Reddit is also excited about the find and congratulates DaleRobinson. The thread now has over 12,600 upvotes. In addition, the question is often raised as to whether the Polaroids confirm the loop theory. This means that James was never able to escape his ordeal and has been living through his personal nightmare for 23 years now. A cruel idea.
Have you always wondered what the pictures were all about and maybe even thought they were the solution to a normal puzzle?
