12:00

The reception counter at Midwich.

12:00 is a memo written in blood on an open book that Harry Mason can find in the reception area of Midwich Elementary School in Silent Hill.

The book is right behind the reception desk immediately left after entering the elementary school. It is the farthest back of the four memos at the desk sitting in a puddle of blood.

The note guides the player to the Piano Puzzle.

"A place with songs and sound"

A silver guidepost is untapped in lost tongues.
Awakening at the ordained order.

It's written in blood.

The place where song and sound meet.

A proper flow of lost voices,
shall awaken a silver beacon,
from its deep slumber.

Trivia

• In the demo version of Silent Hill, the photos in the left page of the book were different, with one image appearing to be from the film Natural Born Killers [1] and the second from Pulp Fiction [2]. This could have been one of the many film references that can be found in Silent Hill.
