At the start of the Granny horror game, you find yourself lying on the floor of a room in Granny’s house. The object of the game is to escape the house alive. This can be tricky because the crazy Granny that lives in the house listens to every sound. If she hears you, she’ll hunt you down and attack you. You get five chances or days to escape the house before Granny finally puts an end to you. To escape the house, you have to complete a series of tasks -- the main one being to deactivate the door alarm and unlock all the security items that bar it. We’ve listed all the objects you’ll need and steps for beating the game below.
Controls: How Do I Move And Interact With Objects?
The controls are kind of primitive in this game and so they can sometimes be difficult to figure out. Here are a few basics you need to know.
How To Move - On the left-hand side of the screen you have a white circle that is your joystick/controller. Use it to move.
How To Look Around - If you want to look around the room swipe around the screen in the direction you want to look.
How To Pick Up Objects Or Interact With Stuff - In the middle of your game screen, you’ll notice a small white dot. If you want to open a drawer, grab an item, climb under a bed or interact with objects in some other way, you will have to move your joystick until the white dot is centered on the object of interest. If the object is something you can pick up, open or close, a hand will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Tap it to do the action. Sometimes a different icon will appear in that corner showing how you can interact with the object. Simply tap the interactive icon to complete the action or else navigate elsewhere.
How To Drop Objects - anytime you have an object in your hand, you can drop it by tapping the word “Drop” at the bottom of the game screen.
Crouching and Standing - you can change from crouching to standing in the game by tapping the icon of a person in the left-hand corner of the game screen
‘Granny’ Horror Game Guide: Tips, Steps & Strategy For Beating The Game
As mentioned above, to beat the game, you’ll have to unbolt the front door and deactivate the main alarm. While this task might sound simple, there are several steps you have to complete to do it. Here are the objects you'll need to find and steps for using them.
Items Needed
The Cutting pliers are one of seven tools or keys you'll need to find to beat the Granny Game. Player.One
There are seven main objects and keys you’ll need to complete the game, four of which are keys. You can only hold one item at a time and some items will have to be used before others. I’ve listed them in the order I used them. Some of them may be used in any order though.
Cutting Pliers - you will use these twice. First, use these the door alarm to make both lights turn green. Then use them to cut wires in the circuit box found on the basement wall.
Padlock Key (Blue) - use this key on the padlock on the front door. It will make the top bar blocking in fall down.
Hammer - used to break the wood barring the bottom of the front door. You’ll have to break the wood on both ends to get it completely off the door.
Alarm Code - this is a piece of yellow paper with the word “code” on it. You’ll use it on the top lock of the door.
Safe Key (Gold) - find this to unlock the safe found in the basement. The master key will be found in here.
Master Key (Red) - the Master Key is the final key you’ll use to unlock the main door handle and escape
Weapons Key (Wooden) - unlocks the weapons locker found in the secret passageway (guide for finding weapons room is here.) If you unlock it, you can grab a tranquilizer gun to shoot at Granny that puts her out for a while.
Where To Find Tools and Keys
Tools and Keys in the Granny game can be found in many places including cabinents, toilets, dresser drawers and more. Player.One
The only object that has a specific location in the Granny game is the Master Key, which is found in the in the basement. Every other item can be found in a variety of places and the locations of the objects change every time you start a new day. To find objects, you need to search any cabinet or piece of furniture with a drawer or door can potentially hold an item you need. This includes things like kitchen cabinets (upper and lower), the microwave, dressers, china cabinets, and so forth. Various household items and furniture will sometimes hold objects too. For example, toilets, sinks, chairs, and benches. The door code can be one of the trickier objects to find because it is a note that can be stickied to a door or wall as well. If you are looking for an object, move quickly through the room scanning possible object locations. Open any doors and drawers you see, but do it carefully or granny will hear. If she’s coming for you, move elsewhere and return to that place later.
What If I Have To Drop Something? Will It Be Where I Left It?
Sometimes you’ll find an object before you need it and you have the option to either pick it up or leave it. If you drop it, it’ll remain where you’ve left it till you die or come back. Just keep in mind, if you choose to grab the item, at some point you’ll have to drop it, which will cause noises that Granny can hear. It most cases it’s best to leave an object behind if you don’t need it yet and just remember where it’s stored.
