How to Play Home Alone Anomalies: The Basics
Home Alone Anomalies is a Roblox horror investigation game by 3 AM Productions & Freeground. You are alone at home at night, and visitors keep arriving at your door. Your job is to use cameras, visitor dialogue, night-vision footage, and the state of your house to judge whether each visitor is normal or an anomaly, then decide whether to open the door.

Do not rush to the door the moment someone knocks. The safest habit from your first night onward is: observe first, decide second.
Evidence You Must Check Before Opening
Every door decision should be based on multiple evidence categories, never a single detail. Use the table below as your reference framework.
| Evidence Type | What to Look For | Warning Signs |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Face, body proportions, posture, movement | Impossible details, unnatural features, odd silhouette |
| Voice | Consistency with visitor identity | Distortion, repetition, delayed or altered speech |
| Normal camera | Doorway and surroundings from standard angle | Figures, objects, or shadows out of place |
| Night-vision camera | Hidden details in low light | Abnormality visible only in night vision |
| Room state | Furniture, lights, objects unchanged | Moved, missing, or altered items |
| Outside the door | Consistent exterior environment | Unusual shadows or environmental changes |
Normal Visitor
- All evidence categories consistent
- Voice matches identity
- Cameras show nothing unusual
- Safe to open after full check
Suspicious Visitor
- One or more contradictions present
- Voice or appearance feels off
- Keep the door closed
- Recheck cameras and rooms
Camera-Only Anomaly
- Looks normal at the door
- Camera or night vision reveals the anomaly
- Trust the camera evidence
- Do not open
A visitor that appears perfectly normal face-to-face can still be an anomaly. Always cross-check at least two camera views before opening the door.
Step-by-Step: Surviving Your First Night
Follow this routine from the moment you enter the house to the end of the night.
Learn the house layout
Walk through the rooms, find the front door, locate the camera controls, and memorize the normal appearance of important rooms so you can spot changes later.
Check cameras on a fixed schedule
Review each camera in the same order every time, comparing the current view against the previous check. Switch between normal and night-vision views when details are unclear.
Evaluate every visitor
When someone knocks, pause what you are doing. Inspect appearance, listen to the voice, and confirm with cameras before any interaction.
Decide whether to open
Open only when all evidence is consistent. If any anomaly or uncertainty remains, keep the door closed and return to monitoring.
Manage sanity and cash
Keep a steady rhythm of chores and camera checks. Avoid reckless interactions that drain sanity or waste cash.
Finish the night
Repeat the sweep cycle until the night objective is complete. Recheck anything that changes instead of assuming it is harmless.
A consistent routine beats reflexes. Players who check cameras in the same order every cycle miss fewer anomalies and make fewer panic decisions.
Chores, Cash, and Outcomes
Money objectives are secondary to survival. Complete chores during calm periods and pause them whenever a door event or camera check becomes urgent.
| Objective | Best Time to Do It | Key Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Household chores | Calm periods between visitors | Group nearby tasks to reduce travel |
| Cash collection | Before spending time on optional tasks | Confirm the total updates before leaving |
| Night cash target | Early and mid-night | Pause immediately when threats appear |
The night can end in several ways. Reach the end with your survival state intact for the standard survival ending. Opening the door to an anomaly, ignoring repeated house changes, or depleting your survival state triggers a failure ending. Specific sequences of observations and decisions can also lead to conditional special endings, so record unusual events instead of dismissing them.
If a chore conflicts with an immediate threat, drop the chore. Optional rewards are never worth a failed night.
Nightly Checklist
Before Every Door Decision:
- Inspect the visitor's face and body for abnormalities
- Listen for distorted, delayed, or repetitive speech
- Check the normal camera view of the doorway
- Switch to night vision for hidden details
- Sweep rooms and outside area for unexplained changes
Changes are only detectable if you know the normal state. Spend your first minutes of each night building a mental baseline of every room.
FAQ
Q: How do I play Home Alone Anomalies?
Open the official Roblox game page, join a session of up to 18 players, and spend each night checking cameras, questioning visitors, and deciding whether to open the door. Opening for normal visitors advances your night, while opening for anomalies leads to failure.
Q: How do I know if a visitor is an anomaly?
Compare appearance, voice, normal camera, night-vision camera, room state, and the outside environment. If any category shows an unexplained contradiction, treat the visitor as an anomaly and keep the door closed.
Q: What happens if I open the door for an anomaly?
Opening for an anomalous visitor can trigger a jumpscare and end your run in a failure state. Only open when every evidence category is consistent.
Q: Should I complete all the chores every night?
No. Chores and cash targets are secondary objectives. Complete them during calm periods, but pause immediately when a visitor knocks or the house state changes. Survival always takes priority.
