The Once Human<\/u><\/a> telephone booth puzzle<\/strong> is just one of the many mysteries you'll encounter while out exploring the post-apocalyptic wilderness of the new open-world survival game. You hear a phone ringing, and upon closer investigation, discover the source to be a rundown phone booth. Sure, you can answer the phone and listen to its message, but it doesn't seem to do anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you've just started playing you might also want to know how to change worlds<\/u><\/a> in Once Human, but otherwise, here's how to solve the phone booth puzzle, and exactly what you need to do to get your rewards.<\/p>\n

To solve the telephone booth puzzle you need to find all four Deviated Telephone Booths in the Dayton Wetlands area and play the message in each. <\/strong>It's important to note that these messages are only available between 7pm – 6am <\/strong>in-game time, so you'll need to find each booth during that window.<\/p>\n

The good news is that they're all fairly close to one another and it's easy to locate each by its purple glow and the ringing phone you can hear when you get close. When you activate the phone, simply choose the play message option and exhaust the dialogue before moving on to the next.<\/p>\n

All four locations in the Dayton Wetlands are marked above with a telephone symbol on the map. I've also included a short description of where to find each plus its navigation coordinates, which you can use to find each location via the bottom right-hand corner of your in-game map.<\/p>\n
