While it may sound simple the puzzle here changes to the difficulty of the game just like the original Silent Hill. Here is a guide to solving the coin puzzle in the Wood Side Apartment in SIlent Hill Remake.

Guide To Finding All Coins In Wood Side Apartments
The box in the reception room needs three coins, before we tackle the puzzle we will need to get our hands on three different coins.
Location Of The Man Coin
Location: Wood Side Apartments, Second Floor
Here make your way to the 206. Here you will find a safe in the middle of the room, we just need to figure out the code for the safe.
- Turn around from the safe, and face the back wall. Here look to the right, and you will find three neat house drawings with the number 13 in the boxes.
- Now look at the wall on the left side of the safe, you will find a house amongst other scribblings with the number 7 next to it.
- Lastly, turn around, and face the back, but this time point the camera at the corner of the room. You will find the number 11.
To solve the puzzle on the safe, we will need to set the dial in the right order.
- Turn the dial 13 to the right.
- 7 to the left
- 11 to the right.
Once the safe unlocks, you will get the Coin [Man] and a Steel Key.
Location Of The Woman Coin
Location: Wood Side Apartments, Third Floor
- Make your way to Room 312, and crawl through the hole on the left of Room 312 to reach the adjacent room. Check on the table left, you will find the Juice Box with multiple cans of juice. Don’t confuse them for health drinks, it is part of the puzzle.
- Now interact with the Garbage Chute right off the table where we found the Juice Box, and drop the box down the chute. A cutscene will soon play out something being dropped off at the dumpster in the courtyard.
Time to go down to the First Floor of the Wood Side Apartment building, here you will find the second Coin [Woman] in a dumpster.
Location Of The Snake Coin
Location: Wood Side Apartments, First floor.
Go to the Pool area on the first floor of the Wood Side Apartment, right next to room 101. Here you will find an empty swimming pool with monsters. Take out the monsters then interact with the empty baby stroller in the pool to retrieve the last Coin [Snake] for the puzzle.
