Running away from your brother while collecting items in a surreal landscape? How hard can it be?

Surprisingly hard! While you’re hiding from your sibling, the items, it seems, are hiding from you. Try these tips to dodge your bro, gather goodies and eventually reach Hello Neighbor Hide & Seek’s stunning ending.

Make sure to keep an eye on your inventory: you can only hold four items at a time.

Get friendly

Find your brother a little aggressive? Maybe he had too much sugar. To mellow him out, visit Settings and turn on Friendly mode. This will slow him down a bit, granting you precious puzzle-solving seconds.

Pick a drop spot

You do a lot of lifting in Hide & Seek, but with limited inventory slots, you also do a lot of dropping. Always place items in a highly visible, easy-to-find place, as they do not magically return to their starting point if you get caught and start over. Better still: once you collect four items (and fill up your inventory), head straight to the basket and toss them in.

Head to high ground

It’s easy to overlook important objects. At the start of a level, climb up dressers, rocks, ladders and other objects to get a bird’s-eye view of the landscape. And be sure to use the binoculars! You never know what you’ll find scouring faraway locations.

Don’t stop

It’s tempting to slow down, catch your breath and take stock of a difficult puzzle. But it’s also a bad idea. Your brother is constantly on the lookout; one way to avoid him is to never stand still. Keep moving and he’ll have a hard time catching you.

Take a hint

If you just can’t find an item, tap over to Settings and turn on Hints. This won’t ruin the game – it’ll simply activate arrows that point the way to undiscovered items.
