Traps and Obstacles:Be wary of floorboards that creak loudly, tripwires, and bear traps.Disarm bear traps with a plank or by carefully stepping around them.

Using Items: Mostitems have a specific purpose. You'll need to use them in the correctsequence to unlock doors or activate mechanisms.

Distractions: You canintentionally drop items or trigger loud noises to distract Granny,drawing her away from your intended path. Use this sparingly, as itcan backfire!

Each time Granny catches you, a daypasses.

2. Useful Tips and Tricks for Survival


So, you know the basics, but survival against Granny requires morethan just knowing where the keys go. Here are some pro tips to giveyou an edge:

Master the Map (Mentally!): Play on Practice mode extensively. Learn every room, every hidingspot, every creaky floorboard. Knowing the layout is your mostpowerful weapon.

Prioritize Stealth: Ican't stress this enough. If you’re not actively interacting withan object, be silent. Walk slowly, crouch when possible.

Listen, Listen, Listen:Wear headphones! The directional audio is crucial for pinpointingGranny's location. Her footsteps, grunts, and the sound of heropening doors are vital clues.

Item Management is Key:You can only carry one item at a time. Plan your routes. If you finda key for a door on the other side of the house, consider where youmight safely stash it closer to its destination.

Use Distractions Wisely: Dropping an item down a flight of stairs or throwing something acrossa room can buy you precious seconds. But remember, she willcome investigate.

Don't Panic (Easier Said ThanDone!): When Granny is hot on your heels, it’s easy tomake mistakes. Try to stay calm, find a hiding spot, and wait for herto pass.

Exploit Her AI: Grannyhas predictable patrol patterns, especially on lower difficulties.Observe her movements and use them to your advantage.

Always Look Up and Down:Items can be hidden in unexpected places – on shelves, under beds,or even in vents above you. Don't forget to check the ceiling!

Be Mindful of Traps:Bear traps are usually placed in key areas or near escape routes.Either disarm them or be aware of their location to avoid a noisystumble.

The Shotgun is Your Friend(Temporarily): If you find the pieces and assemble theshotgun, it can stun Granny for a longer period. Save these preciousshots for when you truly need them or to clear a path for a criticalescape component.

Patience is a Virtue: Sometimes, the best strategy is to wait. Hide, listen, and only movewhen you are certain the coast is clear. Rushing will almost alwayslead to an early demise.

Embrace Death: Seriously! Each time Grannycatches you, you learn something. You learn her patterns, the layoutof the house, and the consequences of your actions. Death is ateacher in Granny.
