Strange events interrupt the chore loop. They are not published as a day-by-day script, and one week may not include all eight. Handle the sign that is actually in front of you, then finish any chore that is still open.
A phone photo is documented in two ways. Photographing the tall figure in the hallway makes him disappear. The phone is also described as a way to photograph an anomaly and send that picture to the owner when you need a hint. Do not assume a photo removes every event. Blinds, curtains, the toilet, the television, and hiding have their own fixes.
What to do
| What you see | What to do | Sleeping on it |
|---|---|---|
| Mailbox gone, only darkness outside | Close all the blinds in the house | Voided |
| Tall, gangly figure in the hallway | Open the phone and photograph him | Peek a Boo |
| Knocking; an old woman at the door | Stay out of the hallway until the knocking stops. Do not let her in | Granny is Here |
| A head sticking out of the toilet | Flush the toilet | Down the Drain |
| Whiskers has a human head | Stare at the cat for a few seconds | Not my Cat! |
| A pale face in a window | Close the curtains | I See You |
| A huge creature walking the street | Turn on the TV to put it to sleep | Catzilla if it reaches the end of the street |
| The word HIDE on screen and a grating sound | Leave the door, go into a back room, and close that door | Found You |
Blinds and curtains are different objects. The Void uses the blinds. The window face uses the curtains. Check more than the window you happen to be facing.
Two more signs that are easy to leave
Creepy breathing has its own reported failure, Lights Out: leave the lights on in the room you are in when you hear that breathing. The writeup does not name the switch or say whether every light in the house counts. On a survival run, treat the breathing as a reason to change the lights in the room you are in before bed.
Misplaced is furniture or an object where it should not be. Sleeping without investigating is the trigger. The investigation control is not described. Player comments on a public run mentioned a changed wall color behind the TV and the laser pointer. Those are examples, not a full list.
After the scare
The TV that stops the street creature will cause Screen Time if you sleep while it is still on. Turn it on for the creature, then turn it off before bed. That pairing is the two written rules put together, not a separate tested button.
An unlocked or open front door can still end the night after the anomaly is gone. Recheck the door, the fridge, the stove, and any leftover chore, then sleep. The normal chore order is the daily tasks guide.
