How the Trick or Treat Puzzle Works
The quiz happens after you solve the chain boxing puzzle in the hospital. You’ll be asked three questions during an elevator ride. To win the reward, you don’t need to remember the full answers—just which option (1, 2, or 3) was correct.
This puzzle also appeared in the original game, though the questions are different in the remake.

If you make a mistake, the chest will punish you immediately by dealing damage and locking permanently. There’s no way to try again, so be sure to enter the correct answers.
