How to Beat Granny

Last Updated: November 15, 2022 References

The popular horror-survival game Granny is also one of the most difficult games to beat. The goal of the game is to escape the house alive. To do this, you will need to unlock all the locks on the front door and escape. While you are trying to escape, Granny will be looking for you and listening for any sound you make. If she catches you, she will attack you and you will start a new day in the bedroom on the top floor. You only have 5 days to escape. This wikiHow teaches you how to find all the items you need to beat Granny. Note: Items you need are placed randomly throughout the house. There is no way to know where any item is located when you start a new game. You have to search the house to find them. You may not be able to find the items in the same order they are listed here.

Question

How do I not get afraid of the Granny jumpscare?

Community Answer

By seeing it a lot. You get used to it. It is the same reason YouTubers are numb to jumpscares from FNAF and Slenderman; they are inured to it. Try the methods in Avoid Getting Too Scared when Playing a Scary Computer Game .
Question

Is there any danger in practice mode?

Granny isn't home in practice mode, so you can freely explore the house without having to worry about her catching you.
Question

How do you unlock the orange underground room with the red door and the little window? (The one that connects to the underground passage by the playhouse.)

You will need to assemble the shotgun. (Not the crossbow and dart.) Once you get the shotgun, shoot the redlock. With force, it will unlock the door, allowing you to open it.
