  "textContent": "The piano puzzle in Neverness to Everness sits near the end of the Lonely Player anomaly commission (also called Wandering Puppets) inside Illusion Town's school district. You reach it after collecting The Guide, the Cheese Camera, and clearing the earlier Peepy and puppet beats. The puzzle plays a short melody on a pillar beside the piano, and you repeat the same notes back on the keys to open the next door.\n\n**Quick answer:** Stand at the pillar next to the piano in the music room to hear the melody, then play it back on the numbered keys. Round 1 is `4, 10, 8, 6, 1, 10, 7, 5`. Round 2 is `1, 5, 10, 9, 10, 5, 10, 5, 1, 5, 10, 9, 10, 5, 10, 5`. Round 3 is `8, 7, 5, 7, 8, 7, 5, 8, 7, 5`.\n\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@Banzai Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Requirements before the piano puzzle unlocks\n\nThe piano sits behind a string of earlier triggers in the same commission. You cannot interact with it usefully until the puppet hunt has reached the music room stage. Skipping ahead or firing the Cheese Camera too early can desync the puppet that opens the music room and stall the chain.\n\n  * The Guide equipped (white orb earned from the irritated student errand on the running track).\n  * Cheese Camera received from the Occult Club student at the basketball court the morning after the rooftop meeting.\n  * Earlier puppets cleared: floating puppet at the basketball court, racing puppet on the track, the volleyball/gym scan, and the first-floor classroom puppets.\n  * In-game time set to night (roughly 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM) so the music-room puppet stays visible.\n\n\n\n****Note:**** If the Cheese Camera was triggered before a puppet was on screen, wait near the school lockers for the puppet to reset rather than restarting the commission.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to start the piano sequence\n\n**Step 1:** Enter the school music room from the first-floor corridor after revealing the puppet near its entrance with the Cheese Camera. The room contains a piano against the back wall and a pillar standing immediately beside it.\n\n**Step 2:** Walk up to the pillar next to the piano and interact with it. A short melody plays. Listen to the full phrase before touching the keys, since the puzzle expects the entire sequence in one attempt.\n\n**Step 3:** Approach the piano and select the prompt to play. The keys are labeled 1 through 10 from left to right on screen. Input the notes in order and confirm. A correct entry advances to the next round automatically.\n\nApproach the piano and select the prompt to play | Image credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@Banzai Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Piano puzzle solutions (all three rounds)\n\nThree rounds run back to back. Each one increases in length. The note IDs match the on-screen key numbers when the piano interface is open.\n\nRound| Note sequence (left to right)| Length\n---|---|---\nRound 1| 4, 10, 8, 6, 1, 10, 7, 5| 8 notes\nRound 2| 1, 5, 10, 9, 10, 5, 10, 5, 1, 5, 10, 9, 10, 5, 10, 5| 16 notes\nRound 3| 8, 7, 5, 7, 8, 7, 5, 8, 7, 5| 10 notes\n\n****Tip:**** Round 2 contains a repeating eight-note phrase played twice. If you lose count mid-input, finish the first half (`1, 5, 10, 9, 10, 5, 10, 5`), then play the same eight notes again to complete the round.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to confirm each round registered\n\nEvery correct round closes the piano interface on its own and either reopens it for the next phrase or ends the puzzle. There is no manual submit step beyond the in-game confirm prompt after the final note. Watch for these signals:\n\n  * The piano UI auto-closes after the last correct note of a round.\n  * The pillar beside the piano replays a new, longer melody for the next round.\n  * After Round 3, the room transitions and the objective marker updates to the next stage of the Wandering Puppets commission (figurine pickups and the stealth puppet that follows).\n  *\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@Banzai Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Why the puzzle fails to advance\n\nOnly a small set of issues causes the piano sequence to stall, and each has a clear fix.\n\nSymptom| Cause| Fix\n---|---|---\nPillar plays no melody| Earlier puppet beat skipped or music-room puppet not yet revealed| Return outside the music room and use the Cheese Camera on the puppet there first\nWrong note resets the round| Misread key number; keys are 1–10 left to right| Listen to the full melody from the pillar again, then re-enter from note 1\nPiano won't open| Time of day shifted to morning and puppets despawned| Rotate time back to between 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM\nPuppet missing after Cheese Camera misfire| Camera fired before a puppet was on screen| Wait near the school lockers for the puppet to reset\n\n* * *\n\n### What follows the piano puzzle\n\nClearing all three rounds opens the route to the closing beats of the Lonely Player anomaly. From the music room, you move into a stealth puppet segment that resets if it spots you, collect the remaining figurines, and finish with the spirit interaction on the small stage. Selecting the prompt to end the encounter places your character in the front-row chair, where the Wandering Puppets option appears and seals containment.\n\nOnce that final prompt is taken, the commission flips out of the active list in the Anomaly menu and rewards land in inventory, including anomaly currency and puppet figurines tied to the Lonely Player chain.",
