This is found on the way to the training area on the ground floor of the safehouse, where you’ll have to find a hidden code to play the piano, which, in turn, will lead to more safehouse puzzles to solve.
This Black Ops 6 guide offers an explainer on how to figure out the piano puzzle, as well as an explicit piano puzzle solution.
How to solve the piano puzzle in Black Ops 6
The first piece of the puzzle for solving the piano puzzle is picking up the blacklight torch. This is located on the nearby table in the same room, and can be toggled to read hidden messages.

With the blacklight turned on, use the piano. You’ll see characters appear above the keys, which is a vital part of solving the puzzle. But what do these characters relate to, exactly?

If you haven’t already, turn the blacklight on while exploring the mansion, which is how you’ll find the code. If you’re struggling but still want to solve it yourself, know that everything you need is closer than you think.
If you want to know what to do next, we’ll start explaining where to look after the below image.
To find the piano puzzle clues, use the blacklight in the room you found it in. Specifically, look directly above the piano, where you’ll find the first note you need to play.
It also has an arrow pointing right. Follow this direction, and you’ll come across a second note. Repeat this until you work your way around the room, until you have five notes.

Black Ops 6 piano puzzle solution
With all notes in hand, we can now play the piano. Make sure the blacklight is turned on, and play the keys directly below each note you found in the room in the order you found them in.
The piano puzzle solution is:
- Ми
- Рe
- Cи
- До
- Pe
If you are successful, a hidden door to the right will open up — leading to a secret basement area, where more safehouse puzzles await.

If the code above doesn’t work for you, it’s possible the solution is random for each player. If that’s the case, follow the above steps, writing down or taking pictures of each note as you go, and enter those into the piano. Good luck!
As for the rest of the puzzles, see our complete guide on all safehouse puzzle solutions, and once you’re done, where to find all safe code locations throughout the campaign.
