This guide details the actions and progression of Nicky Roth, the player character, throughout the game Hello Neighbor. It covers objectives, item usage, and environmental interactions across different acts and locations within the game.

Act 1: House

Begin by following Nicky Roth after the initial cutscene. Navigate between your house and the neighbor's blue house. After witnessing Mr. Peterson lock a door and catch you, you'll respawn in front of your house. Enter your house, gather 3-4 boxes from the room under the stairs. Use these boxes to reach the roof of Mr. Peterson's house. Break a window by throwing a box at it to enter. Remove a large painting to reveal a hole; enter it, retrieve the key to Mr. Peterson's car, and use the yellow key on the yellow lock. Open the car trunk to find the electromagnet. At the back of the house, use 4 boxes to create a staircase to a small window. Use the electromagnet to get the lockpick. Enter the storage room with the lockpick, grab the wrench, and open the ladder in the backyard. Climb the ladder, jump through the roof hole, take the red key, and use it to open the basement door in the living room.

Act 1: Basement

Descend the stairs and enter the washing machine. Inside, jump through a window (you might need to remove a false one). Open the bars on the right, proceed left, and then run to the end of the hallway. Turn left and open the first door on your left. Grab a chair to open the door at the other end of the room, then proceed through it. Open all doors in this room, then backtrack to where you started and move forward. Open the bars at the end of the hallway. Remove a chair blocking a door, and return to the initial room. Open the breaker box and turn it off. Be aware that the neighbor will now patrol the basement.
