- Should I let in the Nun? Only after a full evidence check — appearance, voice, both camera modes, and house state.
- Core rule: The Nun is a high-risk visitor type; a single visual detail is not enough to decide.
- Best method: Run the standard inspection cycle before every door decision, no exceptions.
- Common mistake: Opening because the Nun looks calm or sounds harmless.
- Safe default: If any evidence contradicts the normal baseline, keep the door closed.
Nun Visitor Overview: Why This Decision Matters
In Home Alone Anomalies, the Nun is one of the visitors players question most often. Should I let in the Nun? The honest answer is that the Nun cannot be judged by appearance alone. The game is built around cross-checking evidence — the visitor's face, voice, camera footage, and the state of your house — before you decide to open the door.
The core loop is simple: when someone knocks, you gather evidence from multiple sources, compare it against what you know is normal, and only open the door when everything lines up. A visitor like the Nun can appear in both a normal form and an anomalous form, which is exactly why so many players hesitate at the door.

Never open the door based only on what you see through the doorway view. Anomalous visitors frequently look normal up close and only reveal contradictions through the cameras, night vision, or changes in your house.
| Evidence Source | What to Check | What It Means for the Nun |
|---|---|---|
| Direct appearance | Face, posture, proportions, movement | Unnatural details or impossible movement are red flags |
| Voice | Tone, repetition, delays, distortion | A voice that does not match the visitor needs more checking |
| Normal camera | Standard angle of visitor and doorway | Confirms details easy to miss at the door |
| Night-vision camera | Hidden details in low light | Reveals anomalies invisible in normal view |
| Room state | Furniture, objects, lighting changes | Changes can support the anomaly conclusion |
| Outside the door | Shadows, objects, surroundings | Inconsistent surroundings add evidence |
Nun Evidence Check: Normal vs. Anomalous
The most reliable way to answer "should I let in the Nun" is to compare the current visit against the normal baseline. Every category below must be consistent before opening.
| Category | Normal Nun Visit | Anomalous Nun Visit |
|---|---|---|
| Face and body | Consistent human proportions | Distorted features, wrong silhouette, unnatural stillness |
| Voice | Matches identity and situation | Altered, repetitive, delayed, or inconsistent speech |
| Normal camera | Visitor appears the same as direct view | Camera reveals details not visible at the door |
| Night vision | Nothing unusual under night vision | Hidden details appear only in night-vision view |
| House state | Rooms unchanged from baseline | Furniture, objects, or lights changed during the visit |
| Surroundings | Doorway area consistent | Unusual shadows, objects, or environmental shifts |
At the start of each night, walk the house and memorize the normal arrangement of rooms and objects. Without a baseline, you cannot tell whether a room change supports an anomaly verdict against the Nun or any other visitor.
Step-by-Step: The Nun Door Decision
Follow this routine every time the Nun (or any visitor) knocks. The process is repeatable and protects both your run and your sanity.
Pause and do not rush
Stop any chore you are doing. Treat the knock as a decision point, not an automatic invitation. Rushed decisions are the most common cause of failed nights.
Inspect the visitor directly
Look at the Nun's face, body, posture, and movement. Note anything unnatural — but remember that a normal look alone is not enough to open.
Check both camera modes
Switch between the normal camera and night vision. Compare the footage with the direct view. If either view reveals a detail that contradicts the other, treat it as valid anomaly evidence.
Sweep the house and surroundings
Quickly compare rooms and the area outside the door with your baseline. Any unexplained change reinforces suspicion.
Decide with all evidence
Open only when appearance, voice, both camera views, house state, and surroundings are all consistent. If any category shows an unexplained contradiction, keep the door closed and return to monitoring.
If every evidence category matches your baseline — consistent appearance, matching voice, clean camera footage, unchanged house — the visit can be treated as normal and the door can be opened after the standard inspection.
Common Mistakes and Warning Signs
Most wrong decisions about the Nun come from shortcuts. These are the patterns that get players killed.
Trusting Appearances
- The Nun looks calm and harmless
- Anomalous visitors often appear normal at the door
- Always verify with cameras before opening
Ignoring Audio
- Voice tells are real evidence
- Distorted, repetitive, or delayed speech is a warning
- Compare the voice with the visitor's apparent identity
Skipping the House Check
- Rooms change during anomalies
- A moved object or altered light supports suspicion
- Recheck rooms rather than assuming they are harmless
| Mistake | Consequence | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Opening under pressure | Failed night, jumpscare trigger | Pause, complete the full inspection cycle |
| Checking only one camera mode | Hidden anomaly missed | Always use normal and night vision |
| Assuming a familiar look is safe | False confidence at the door | Compare all evidence categories |
| Continuing chores mid-event | Distraction leads to bad calls | Interrupt tasks for every knock |
If you cannot confidently confirm the Nun is normal, do not open. Waiting, rechecking cameras, and gathering more evidence is always safer than an uncertain door decision.
Nun Decision Checklist
Before Opening the Door for the Nun:
- Face, body, and movement match a normal visitor
- Voice sounds consistent with the visitor's identity
- Normal camera shows no contradiction
- Night-vision camera shows no hidden anomaly
- Rooms and objects match the remembered baseline
Anomalous behavior can vary between nights and updates. New visitors and altered anomaly patterns can appear after game updates, so never assume last night's conclusion automatically applies tonight.
FAQ
Q: Should I let in the Nun in Home Alone Anomalies?
Only if every evidence category checks out: consistent appearance, a matching voice, clean normal and night-vision camera footage, and an unchanged house. If any category shows an unexplained contradiction, keep the door closed and continue monitoring.
Q: What is the strongest evidence that the Nun is an anomaly?
Camera evidence is often the most decisive. Anomalous visitors can look normal at the door but reveal distortions through the normal camera or night vision. Room changes and distorted audio provide strong supporting evidence.
Q: What happens if I open the door for an anomalous visitor?
Opening for an anomalous visitor can trigger a jumpscare and end your run early. Treat every knock as a decision point and complete the full inspection routine before choosing.
Q: Can the Nun be a normal visitor on some nights?
Yes. Visitor appearances can be normal or anomalous depending on the night, which is why a fixed inspection routine — rather than a memorized yes/no answer — is the reliable strategy.
