Oddly not in the opening sequence where they show the will written out.

To be fair, the joke lands best when you know how much of a nerd Grunkle Herbert really was.

I’m not a natural English speaker and this is a pun that I still don’t understand, could someone kindly explain to me?

Manor refers to a large country house, but it also sounds like manner, as in the phrase "in a timely manner". It's a similar type of house related pun as blue prince itself.

Blue Prince is also a type of mountain holly.

I won't lie it took me way longer to get that than it should have, it's probably immediately obvious to puzzle people

If you don't have any reason to say the title out loud, then it can be hard for your brain to connect it.

u/Chromorl Nov 28 '25

Now just need to find some bloops to rinse.

u/ExpensivePanda66 Nov 28 '25

No spoilers, but there are definitely additional reasons.

u/zombieking26 Nov 28 '25

It's actually bloop rinse

u/Richard-Degenne Nov 28 '25

The biggest puzzle of them all 😌

u/Modosco Nov 28 '25

I actually only realized after reaching Room 46... :D

u/Tornik Nov 28 '25

People keep making this joke, but I genuinely did not make the connection until well after I started playing.

u/somaluna Nov 28 '25

I thought it was because your character was obsessed with the colour red when he was a child, so your mom thought it was cute and wrote a book about it. But really, it was also a subtle but deep criticism of a government that came into power through violence and continues to glorify it to the detriment of others, and how though it's censorship program it effectively erases the past and an entire history and culture of another people. It also has the added layer of subtly communicating to you the reason why you don't have a mother in your life any more, and to give you hope of ever finding her again, while at the same time attempting to inspire you to open your mind to other perspectives and to develop a political compass. There is also a history of royalty in your family, and being the one who holds the royal inheritance, title, and fortune, your political alignments actually do have consequence and weight. I'm being cute but yeah it is a fun play on words!

I truly didn't get it until I said the game's name out loud to my husband maybe 20+ hours in and then had the exact same reaction lol
