Plan your next Granny session
Our independent guide examines Granny’s core systems, offering observations that let you compare approaches across escape routes, sound management, defensive tools, difficulty choices, and the safe practice environment without relying on undocumented tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map the House Layout
After a practice run, sketch each room and mark where keys, weapons, and the garage are found. This visual aid reduces backtracking when you face higher difficulties.
- Check each room thoroughly for keys before attempting to open a lock.
- If you locate the car early, gather its required items to keep the garage option open.
02 / THE GUIDE
Sound Awareness Test
Walk slowly over each floor type while listening for creaks. Record which surfaces are silent to plan quieter routes when Granny is active.
- Move slowly on floorboards to minimize creaking sounds.
- Observe where you drop items; avoid making noise near locks you need to open.

03 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Timing Drill
Use a weapon just before attempting a lock. Observe how long Granny’s pursuit is delayed and adjust timing for optimal escape windows.
- Reserve a weapon for moments when you must perform noisy actions.
- Combine weapon use with a quick move to a hiding spot for added safety.
04 / THE GUIDE
Trap Spotting Practice
Identify all visible bear traps in one session. Compare their positions to common paths and mark safe corridors for future runs.
- Start with Practice to learn item locations before tackling higher difficulties.
- Gradually increase difficulty to become comfortable with the house layout and hazards.
05 / THE GUIDE
Garage Escape Trial
Attempt to start the car without Granny present, noting required items and steps. This reduces uncertainty when you later try the garage route under pressure.
- Use Practice mode to map the quickest path to the garage.
- Locate where weapons can be found without the pressure of Granny’s pursuit.
