Where to hide the bottlecap in Life is Strange Double Exposure sees Max Caufield trying to place it on Safi to advance the storyline. However, with a supernaturally perceptive friend it can feel like an impossible task. You have a variety of places you can hide it, but there's only one where you won't get caught out..

I'm going to walk you through this bottlecap challenge, which comes after you've decided what happened to Chloe in Double Exposure. Chapter 1 will also see you deciding to call Loretta's bluff or answer questions in Double Exposure, which I can also help with when you get there.

This puzzle caught me out when I was playing for our Life is Strange: Double Exposure review, forcing me to replay it later. So if you want to avoid that, keep on reading to get what you need.

How to get the bottlecap in Life is Strange Double Exposure

While Max is hanging out with Moses and Safi you'll learn that they like to play a game where whoever is holding a bottlecap has to do what the other says (within reason). To get to this point in Life is Strange: Double Exposure, you'll need to wait until the group splits up, with Safi by the ledge and Moses going to inspect a telescope. Walk to Moses and talk to him to learn the game and he'll give Max the bottlecap, before highlighting some options where to hide it – inside Safi's cigarettes, her bag, a box of candy, or in a snowbank.

Where should you hide the bottlecap in Life is Strange Double Exposure? 

You need to hide the bottlecap in the Sour Katz candy box in Life is Strange Double Exposure.

Do not hide the bottlecap in Safi's handbag, her cigarettes, or in the snowbank – all of these options will see you get caught.

Once you've hidden it, walk over to Safi and strike up a conversation. At this point you'll have the option to offer Safi some candy and when she accepts, you'll be able to pour some out, along with the bottlecap, into her hand, giving you a window to discover more about Safi's big, secret news or leave the entire thing be and let Safi keep her secret (for now).

This decision won't have any major impact on the wider story, but it will change the end-of-chapter summary, which tracks whether: 'Max won the bottlecap game'; 'Max won, but let Safi keep her secret'; 'Max didn't win the bottlecap game'.

I'll be honest, trying to get this one right extended how long it took to beat Life is Strange Double Exposure significantly.
