How To Beat Hello Neighbor Act 1 Basement

Okay, picture this: You're staring at the Neighbor's basement door. You're ready to rumble, ready to outsmart that cartoonishly creepy dude. Let's do this!

Getting Started: The Lay of the Land

First things first, grab that red key. It's usually chilling on a table near the front door.

Sometimes it's on a shelf in the kitchen! Basically, just ransack the joint.

Now, hightail it upstairs! We need a power outlet and a crowbar.

Finding the Goods

The power outlet is typically in the bathroom, next to the bathtub. Easy peasy!

Plug it in. Booyah! Power restored to...somewhere.

As for the crowbar? Check the living room, or maybe the shelves in the garage. It likes to play hide-and-seek.

Breaking and Entering (with Style!)

Head to the backyard. You'll find a yellow house looking like a shed. Get ready for some crowbar action.

Smash the wooden planks. Behold, a hidden entrance!

Inside, you will find blue key to unlock the basement.

Basement Bound

Back to the basement door! Use that blue key like you're unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Down you go! Time to face the music (and the possibly-deranged neighbor).

Navigating the Basement Blues

Okay, this is where things get...interesting. Spot that mannequin head? Grab it!

You'll need it for the next puzzle. Don't ask me why, just trust me.

Now, find the room with the projector. It is your next target.

The Projector Puzzle

Place the mannequin head on the stand in front of the projector.

This will cast a shadow on the wall, revealing a code! Remember the code or write it down.

Seriously, write it down. Memory fades when you're being chased by a grumpy neighbor.

The Final Showdown (Sort Of)

Find the keypad. This is where that code comes in handy. You will see a lock near the projector.

Enter the code like you're defusing a bomb in a movie.

That opens the gate! You are one step closer!

The Mannequin Maze

Next area is the mannequin maze. Sneak is the keyword here!

Try to find the lever to open the next gate. Be patient and watch the Neighbor's patrol patterns.

The lever is usually hidden somewhere behind the mannequins.

Escape from the Basement!

Once the final gate opens, you are in the room. You are near the finish line!

Approach the door at the end. You will see the animation of the ending.

Congratulations! You've conquered Act 1! Now, go celebrate with a victory pizza (you earned it!).
