Home Alone (Anomaly) Complete Chores for USD 180 Allowance
Maximize chore board money in Home Alone (Anomaly) without missing knocks or Sanity checks.
Between knocks in Home Alone (Anomaly) on Roblox, the chore board pays roughly USD 180 allowance per well-routed night. That money feeds lobby shop habits (shop priority) and teaches house navigation that doubles as anomaly tell checks — oven smoke for Firefighter, bath drip for Plumber, brown sink for City Maintenance.
Update 2 (July 30, 2026) added new chores plus console support, so routes changed slightly from launch-week videos. This guide focuses on timing, pathing, and knock-safe chore chains.
Chore board basics
Interact with the chore board to see tasks — cleaning, fixing, fetching objects across kitchen, bath, halls, and yard. Completing tasks pays incremental cash toward the ~USD 180 community benchmark. Exact per-task values may shift with patches; track latest update notes.
Chores are optional for raw survival but strongly recommended for meta progression and tell practice.
Routing principles
- Laptop-adjacent chores first when knock audio is quiet.
- Kitchen/bath chores during lulls — pass object tells automatically.
- Abort long animations when knock SFX starts — evidence beats USD 5 task progress.
- Stack return path to porch light without backtracking — use house map.
Sample efficient loop
- Grab kitchen chore → glance oven cam → partial dish task.
- Move bath chore → check faucet drip → interact.
- Return living area → laptop door cam peek.
- On knock: drop chore, run identification tree from identify visitors.
- Post-knock: resume highest-value incomplete chore.
Update 2 chore notes
New tasks may send you to rooms you previously ignored. Walk new routes once in a private server before ranked nights. Console players: confirm interact prompts on new objects via mobile and console controls.
Money vs Sanity tradeoff
Chasing last USD 20 while ignoring knock loses more value through Sanity mistakes. Cap ambition at ~USD 180 target, not 100% completion if knocks are dense late night.
Chores as tell drills
Each chore path should touch at least one evidence cam per lap:
| Room path | Tell practice |
|---|---|
| Kitchen | Firefighter smoke, City Maintenance water |
| Bathroom | Plumber leak |
| Backyard | Dog Owner pet |
| Living/door | Peephole vehicles |
Deep tell pages: house checks, camera night vision.

No code bonus
There are no active codes as of July 2026 — allowance and shop wins matter more. See rewards without codes.
Common chore mistakes
- Starting yard chore during knock spike.
- Ignoring chore board entirely — slow shop progress.
- Finishing chore at door with light wrong state — accidental admit.
- Skipping bath path when Plumber knocks later.
End-of-night accounting
If you hit sunrise under USD 180, log which knocks interrupted longest chores. Optimize next run without sacrificing protect Sanity rules.
Update 2 chore integration
Post-July 30, 2026 tasks may send you through rooms you skipped at launch. On your first post-update night, read each chore label before moving — new objectives sometimes overlap knock-heavy hallways. If a new chore paths you away from laptop for more than 15 seconds, defer it after 4 AM when knock density rises.
Chores that finish under USD 180 usually mean knock interrupts, not wrong tasks. Log which visitor archetypes caused the longest idle and adjust routing on night two.
Allowance vs Sanity priority table
| Priority | When to favor it |
|---|---|
| Sanity | Below 70 or after one wrong admit |
| Allowance | Quiet windows before 3 AM |
| Tell practice | Learning a new visitor archetype |
| Full completion | Never after 5 AM |
The chore board teaches house navigation that directly helps house checks — even partial nights are worth the movement drill.
