Blue Prince features many puzzles and mysteries that players have to complete in order to draft Room 46. During the gameplay, the house provides players with various items that you can use to proceed in the game.
One of these items is the Burning Glass, which has a lot of uses. Players have to create this contraption item by combining two things, namely a Magnifying Glass, also known as the Looking Glass, and the Metal Detector. But before you can do that, you need to draft Workshop.
However, its description confuses the player a bit as it says “can ignite certain surfaces and light candles.” In this guide, we will explain how to use the Burning Glass in Blue Prince.

4 Common Uses of Burning Glass in Blue Prince
You can use the Burning Glass at numerous places around the house. Let’s check out all the places where this extremely useful item can help players in Blue Prince.
