Home Alone (Anomaly) Roblox Guides

Welcome to the Home Alone (Anomaly) guides hub for Roblox. Whether you joined after seeing the game climb past tens of millions of visits or you are returning for Update 2, these pages teach the full loop: earn allowance from chores, investigate knocks with house and camera evidence, and survive from midnight to 6 AM without burning Sanity.

Each guide below is written for real match flow, not abstract tips. Cross-link them in the order that matches your skill level, then jump to the anomalies hub when you need tell-specific detail.

Core gameplay guides

Start with fundamentals, then stack advanced habits:

• How to play Home Alone (Anomaly) — controls, night structure, porch light rules, and first-night checklist.
• Survive the night tips — pacing between knocks, Sanity recovery mindset, and common failure points.
• Identify all visitors — channel-by-channel decision tree for safe vs anomaly knocks.
• How to use CCTV — laptop cameras, night vision timing, and room priority.
• Protect Sanity and porch light — when to admit, when to reject, and how mistakes stack.
• Complete chores for USD 180 — chore board routing and allowance timing between visitors.
• How to beat the night and reach 6 AM — endgame checklist and sunrise win conditions.
• Secrets and endings — good ending, OOB curiosity, and community secret content.
• Sanity survival — drain effects, Bone/Duck/Doll/Horse items, and detection gear.

Related wiki sections

Guides explain how to play; other categories give reference material:

• All anomalies list — quick tell lookup while you learn.
• Visitor difficulty ranking — study order from easy Vampire tells to hard night vision.
• Full chores list — all nine reported board tasks.
• Full night walkthrough — one continuous run from lobby to sunrise.
• Shop items catalog — reported Coin prices for Sanity and Detection gear.
• Active codes — honest code status (none as of August 2026).
• PC and mobile controls — input reference for Update 2 console support.
• Anomaly identifier tool — interactive filter when you forget a tell.

What a good run looks like

Strong players treat each knock as a short investigation, not a door quiz. Between visitors they finish one or two chores toward the ~USD 180 allowance, glance at cameras for pre-spawned clues, and only touch the porch light when at least two evidence channels agree. That rhythm keeps Sanity near 100 deep into the night and leaves mental bandwidth for tricky tells like Secret Agent night vision silhouettes or Wifi Kid shutter glitches.

Update 2 notes

Update 2 (July 30, 2026) added fresh chores and Xbox/PlayStation support. Console players should read mobile and console controls alongside the CCTV guide, since camera switching on a gamepad rewards slightly different muscle memory than PC mouse clicks.

When you are ready to go deeper

After one clean sunrise win, reread identify visitors while watching for tells you missed live. Then study house object checks and camera night vision so rare knocks feel routine instead of random.

Platform note for guide readers

Console players should read mobile and console controls alongside these guides because camera switching muscle memory differs from PC. Mobile players benefit from external wiki tools during chores. All platforms share the same Sanity and porch light rules documented across this section.
