Reaching the manager’s office undetected
After arriving in the reception area during the mission, you’ll need to make your way to the manager’s office while avoiding nearby guards and employees. The challenge is straightforward once you know where to go and how to stay hidden.
The challenge begins in the reception area. Several NPCs and security personnel patrol the area, but their routes are predictable and leave plenty of opportunities for stealthy movement. You can either eliminate the main guard with a dart or simply avoid them by taking an alternate route around their position.
Location involved
The entire challenge takes place inside the reception and office section of the mission area. The key destination is the manager’s office located beyond the guarded reception space. Most NPCs remain stationary or follow simple patrol paths, making it relatively easy to navigate through the area without raising an alarm.
How to complete the Old School Hacking challenge
Step 1
Enter the reception area and observe the nearby guards. Wait a few moments to learn their movement patterns before advancing.
Step 2
Choose your preferred approach. You can use a dart to quietly neutralize the guard blocking the path, or sneak around using the alternative route shown during the mission.
Step 3
Continue through the reception area while staying out of sight. The civilians and employees are easy to avoid as long as you move carefully and avoid entering their line of sight unnecessarily.
Step 4
Reach the manager’s office and enter the room. Once inside, close the door behind you to reduce the chance of being spotted by passing guards.
Step 5
Inspect the desk inside the office. You will find a note containing the required laundry code.
Step 6
Read the note to obtain the code. The moment you collect this information, the Old School Hacking challenge is completed.

Many players focus on reaching the mission objective quickly and overlook the manager’s office entirely. Since the code is found on a note rather than through a traditional hacking minigame, it is possible to complete the mission without ever triggering the challenge. Taking a few extra moments to explore the office ensures you don’t miss this optional objective.
The Old School Hacking challenge is one of the simpler optional objectives in 007 First Light. By quietly navigating through the reception area, entering the manager’s office, and reading the note on the desk, you can complete the challenge in just a few minutes without needing to engage in combat.
