Chapter 3: A Connection is the first stretch of Silent Hill: Townfall where you are genuinely free to wander, and it is dense with pickups. The route runs from the town square, down West Shore Road, into Zoe’s house, out to the newsstand, and then back again to restore the power. Nothing here can be revisited later.
Quick answer: Chapter 3 holds eight Discoveries (numbers 5 through 12 of 85), CRTV Signal 3/18, Phone Number 5/13, Strange Postcard 1/15 and four Key Items. Clear all of them before you open the calendar door.
Chapter 3 collectible checklist

In Townfall, you cannot choose chapters or return to earlier areas; consequently, a single playthrough can leave any Document or Clue unobtained. Your 85 Discoveries directly influence the ending you receive.
Town square and West Shore Road pickups

Phones are also the manual save system. Dialling 100 from any booth writes a save to one of your 20 slots.
Strange Postcards do not respawn in New Game Plus. Every other collectible category carries over between playthroughs, but a postcard you walk past is gone for that save.
Zoe’s house: flashlight, batteries and two Clues
Zoe’s house sits at 2A West Shore Lane, west of the square. The power is out, so build the flashlight first — one of the Clues here is physically unreadable without it.

Electrical box puzzle: restoring power to Zoe’s house

Zoe’s computer: three Discoveries in the inbox
Boot the desktop in the living room and refresh the inbox. Three messages are waiting, and each one counts separately toward the 85 Discoveries. Read all three before you close the screen.
- Your Letter — the top message, logged as a Document.
- FW: For Attending SURG04GE_+ON — the middle message, logged as a Clue rather than a Document.
- Please report in — the bottom message, logged as a Document.
Because the middle email files under Clues, it will not show up if you are only checking your Document tally. Open it on its own to be sure it registers.
Chapter 3 puzzle codes: the Organ Box and the calendar door
Organ Box code: 956 left, 133 right
The cooler box in the kitchen has two separate dial locks. Set the left set to 956 and the right set to 133, and the lid releases. The numbers tie back to the Organ Transplant Card you picked up in the bathroom, so there is no guesswork if you collected it.
Calendar door code: 18 MAY 1987
Upstairs, the locked bedroom door uses a rotating calendar dial rather than a key. Turn the rings until the date reads 18 MAY 1987 and the lock opens. Zoe’s Lanyard is on the other side, and taking it moves the story forward.
Once the lanyard is in your inventory, Chapter 3 is effectively finished. Check your counters before you go any further: Discoveries should sit at 12 of 85, with CRTV signals at 3 of 18, phone numbers at 5 of 13, and one Strange Postcard banked. Anything short of that is still sitting somewhere between the town square and the newsstand, and this is the last moment you can walk back for it.
