The goal of Hello Neighbor Act 1 is to find the red key to the neighbor’s basement. This can be tricky as players will first need to get to the roof of the neighbor’s house with the neighbor on constant vigilance. Therefore, players will have to be quite light on their feet to complete this stage. Let’s go over the stage step-by-step so that players can have a better understanding about how to do so.

Getting To The Basement

  • Players will get caught by the neighbor in the early part of the Hello Neighbor Act 1. This will happen no matter how well you were playing so don’t worry about it. Players will start from their home after getting caught.
  • They need to grab some cardboard boxes and something to smash a window with (The TV set can do the job just fine).
  • Now go to the ladder propped by the side of the front entrance of the neighbor’s house. Players will be too short to climb the roof just through the ladder though. They will need to climb up and prop the cardboard boxes on top of it to get to the roof.
