Walkthrough:
Levels 1 – 3 | Levels 4 – 6 | Levels 7 – 9 | Levels 10 – 12 | Levels 13 – 15 | Levels 16 – 18 | Jack-in-the-Box Locations
Level 4:
Climb down the ladder into the salt. Head up to try and take the crank. It moves! Chase it once more so it’s right by the other end of the Wooden platform. Then climb back up and walk around the platform and pick up the crank. Then use it to open the door and go through to the next room.
Turn the handle to rotate the barrels so that the square piece is close to you. Then go up the ramp and move the square so there’s a hole instead. Turn the handle again so the hole is at the top of the barrel.
Head right and climb up to the shelf above. Make your way to the left and push the small barrel down. You can go through the hole here and get the jack-in-the-box if you want. Then head back right and climb down.
Climb up the ramp on the left side and push the barrel to the right. It should stop on the hole you made. Climb back down and turn the handle so the barrel falls to the floor. Push it to the button and it will open the door. Go through to the next room.
Here, you have a bunch of bathtubs and the guy in the wheelchair. You need to first squeeze through the bars and inch forward just a bit so he sees you. Then quickly squeeze through the bars again to the other side. Wait for him to come around and get close to you. Then squeeze through the bars again and run like hell to the bookshelves so you can climb up. The path-finding might not help you here, so don’t be too reliant on it. Make sure to get up to the shelf and through the air vent before he catches up with you. And that completes Level 4.
Level 5:
Make your way up, avoiding any cracked tiles so you don’t fall through the floor. Then climb up the dresser and go through the vent to the next room.
Jump onto the table and pull out the right drawer. Then climb up to the shelf. Head left and push the cage down to release a Nome. Notice that it falls into a crack. Head back down.
Pull the Nome out of the crack. Then climb up the boxes on the left and pull the plank out that’s holding the closet door closed. Then climb down and open the closet to release the Nome.
Notice the two Nomes are standing on cracked tiles. Join them and stand on the third cracked tile. You’ll all fall through the floor to the lower level.
For the jack-in-the-box, follow the Nomes down and left through a hole in the wall. Then head down to the next room.
Keep heading down and then left and climb up the pipe and then onto the shelf. Go through the vent and then keep walking along the shelf to the next vent. You’ll fall into a box and the wheelchair guy will move you. That’s the end of Level 5!
Level 6:
Tap the box until it falls and you fall out of it. Then head through the door to the next room. In there, open the chest to release a Nome. Follow him back to the elevator and into an air vent for the jack-in-the-box. Then head back to the room with the table.
Pull out the chair and climb onto the table. Press the red button to open the door. Go through.
In the next room, stand behind the cart stacked full of boxes. You need to push it and then quickly run to the left so it doesn’t squash you. Then climb the boxes and get up to the top shelf. Go through the vent to the other room.
Push the wooden plank down and continue on trough the next air vent. Continue through the clock room and then through the next air vent to the bathroom, where you’ll fall. And that’s it. Level 6 is a short one.

App unwrapper, you are one quick son of a gun! This game just came out! I often read parts of your amazing walkthroughs! Thanks so much! Okay hereΓÇÖs where IΓÇÖm stuck.. you mentioned getting a hanger in this part. ItΓÇÖs the XO puzzle. I canΓÇÖt figure out which order it goes in.. top to bottom, left to right. Stuck on this part. If you could give me a hint IΓÇÖd so appreciate it., yes I have the piece from the wall where the gnome is painting and thereΓÇÖs a big red candle.
Thanks again
IΓÇÖll eventually add a video, but basically, notice that the XΓÇÖs are either left, middle or right. There are five of them. They go: Middle, Left, Right, Right, Left (I have it memorized because I restarted that level soooo many times). So just step on the X buttons in that order, making sure that you step back onto a non-button tile between each one.
Hi Appunwrapper! I am stuck in level 16, IΓÇÖm in the room with the piano. I need to get to the moving platform. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it your awesome!
Ok, so you need to copy the sheet music on the wall, which is telling. You to run from the left side of the piano to the right. But you canΓÇÖt step on any other keys. So to do that, climb onto the wooden part of the piano, go to the left side, then step onto the keys and go all the way right. That should reveal a ladder.
Please help IΓÇÖm on level 13 when I finally pull the lever down to open a little get away the floating weird man comes and I donΓÇÖt know what to do.
If it where I think you are you need to get the stream right place where it spray in front of the door then you pull the lever and the guy come in the doorway grab the string and it stream hits him and then run to the opening quick you can grab the string twice before he kill you on the third one hopefully this helps
She has to jump on the bench first to get to the wooden part and then go from left to right twice on the keys. This works. I couldn’t jump on the wooden part without first jumping on the bench, although I tried several times.
How do you get the coat hanger?
ItΓÇÖs just hanging there once you get through that door upstairs.
hey app unwrapper! i beat the entire game already i just canΓÇÖt find the jack in the box in level 10, have you found it yet??
Yep, I have all the jack-in-the-boxes here: https://www.appunwrapper.com/2019/05/30/very-little-nightmares-secret-jack-in-the-box-locations-guide/
I just need the last one because I havenΓÇÖt completed Level 17 yet.
So confused on 17. Been stuck for a while, just keep getting killed by the chandelier. Any idea what to do?
You have to just run out the door, but it apparently has to be from a specific spot. It’s kind of dumb and I only really got it by accident. But things only get worse fr there. 😞
I used the hanger to pull the box down but then it got stuck on the side. How do I get the scarf down?
Did you already stretch out the scarf?
What do I do with electric box room? I set it up in the way it describes behind the door and I always get electrocuted.
I think the clue is wrong because I flipped the switches differently before seeing the clue and it worked. Try doing ON ON OFF ON.
Actually that seemed to be a glitch, too. IΓÇÖm not sure what I did to get it to shut off. Hold on.
Try OFF ON OFF ON.
That was it! Thanks. Maybe the clue is right, but since the wires are tangled, you have to untangle to get that order. Idk
Oh didnΓÇÖt think of that! That could be it!
I guess thatΓÇÖs why the door is hiding half of it.
Ok yeah the red wires are OFF and the yellow/green wires are ON, so that makes it easier. CanΓÇÖt believe I missed that. Updated my guide to explain it.
Hey! IΓÇÖm on level 13 in the steam room where it opens a door in the ground. IΓÇÖm blowing steam at the guy when he walks in but I canΓÇÖt ever make it to the hatch in time. Am I doing something wrong??
IΓÇÖm stuck on level 13 in the steam room where the door opens in the ground and no matter how much I try I canΓÇÖt make it to the hatch before the guy gets me. IΓÇÖm blowing steam at him and then running to the door in the ground. Am I doing something wrong?
No, thatΓÇÖs all you need to do. If you got the correct pipe blowing steam, he should be distracted just long enough for you to run to the hatch.
Hey! I am missing one achievement in iOS Game Center after finding all jack-in-the-boxes and completing the game. I have these: Step by step, Work in progress, No way back, The End is Near, It’s all over now, What’s in the box? Hobby getting out of hand, Connoisseur & Collector, Lots of knick-knacks, Obsessive completist, Nightmare Architects, Curiosity killed the child, Death Master. The one I am missing is the one after Nightmare Architects and before Curiosity killed the child.
Can you please tell me how to get this?
Sorry, I donΓÇÖt have that either. IΓÇÖm guessing itΓÇÖs either a ridiculous number of deaths, or maybe dying in every possible way? Or maybe completing the game with no deaths? That seems insane. No idea what else it could be ΓÇö thatΓÇÖs the problem with hidden achievements. :/
Not sure if you still need it but I just added it.
What is the hidden achievement? I still need to get it. Thanks.
ItΓÇÖs found near the beginning of the third level, but you have to complete the game to access it.
I have complete the game and done again 2nde and 3rde level but i didn’t find anything to complete this last hidden achievement 🙁 please help
ItΓÇÖs a secret room you can only access after you complete the game. ItΓÇÖs level 3 under the first security eye.
I’m stuck on 12
Which part? I explained how to get through it, but if you tell me which part is giving you trouble I can try to help.
IΓÇÖm on lv 3 and I have no idea what to do.. can you help me ? Please?
IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗m on lv 3 and I have no idea what to do… can u help me? Please?
I have both a video and a text explanation, but if you tell me where youΓÇÖre stuck, IΓÇÖll try to help.
Is there anything more to do on level fourteen when you push the cart over? Just standing in the spot doesnΓÇÖt seem to work. Glitch maybe?
Not sure which cart youΓÇÖre referring to. Are you sure youΓÇÖre on level 14?
*Level 15
Well 17 is sooooooo annoying… Just canΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t get past the chandelier and no idea what to do╬ô├½├¡Γò₧├åΓö£ΓöÉΓö£Γòó
Try positioning yourself differently near the door each time (left, middle, right) and then just run for it. It only gets worse from there!
After you get to bottom of the stair just run as fast as you can and you miss the chandelier
Im having trouble on Lvl 14 I got all the nomes but the bed isnΓÇÖt breaking I got the nome in the toilet, the nome IΓÇÖm the vase, the balloon nome, the painting nome, and the bathtub nome but when I stand in front of the bed its not breaking
Not sure why that is. You tried tapping on the bed? It could be a bug.
I was having that problem too. you found 7 gnomes. You have to drop through the twisty slide in the bedroom.
Which twisty slide?
IΓÇÖm having the exact same problem. Tapping on the bed doesnΓÇÖt work, leaving the room & coming back doesnΓÇÖt work. I closed & reopened the app: didnΓÇÖt work. So frustrating.
You have to find all the gnomes. Toy box, the slide in the toy room, vase, picture, balloon, toilet, bathtub
Exactly. You probably missed the one in the toyroom slide and or box, they count as total on the bed along with the two in the two bathrooms, the one in the vase, the one behind the picture and the one on top of the wardrobe
I had the same problem ellie thanks for the hint, in the video it does not show the name of the toy box in the room
Hey thanks for all your walkthroughs! IΓÇÖm stuck on level 15. When I move the food cart there is no hole for me to fall through and IΓÇÖve walked all over. Help!
ItΓÇÖs a loose plank. You wonΓÇÖt really notice its loose until you walk on it.
On level 15 I am having trouble reaching the jack in a box I fell through the floorboards but canΓÇÖt seem to go very far left and canΓÇÖt see a hole to crawl through
IΓÇÖm stuck on level 3 in the last spot light.
Did you do everything upstairs that you were supposed to?
IΓÇÖve gotten all of the bones and am standing in front of the bed how long until it breaks?
IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗m on level 10, trying to avoid the killer garbage. When you said Γò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö¼├║run like the dickens down the left pathΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö¼├æ do you mean MY left, or the little girlΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗s left? When I go down the path to MY left, I can get up on the box under the hook, but the only thing I can do from there is jump back down again… and get killed. When I go down the path to HER left… well, nothing happens except the aforementioned getting killed. IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗ll keep trying, IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗d just like to know which side to hammer away at. Thanks!
I can’t seem to run fast enough to not fall off the log towards after running through the gate and turning right towards the end of the game…??
Holy crow! How fast do you have to be to run from one ironing board to another in level 12? I have been killed about a thousand times. Is there a secret to it? I canΓÇÖt get farther than right by the boxes.
Hi. First of all, many thanks for your excellent guides. With that out of the way… ╬ô├½├¡Γò₧├åΓö£ΓöÉΓö£┬╜
Just installed, I’m on Level 2, after activating the lever i can’t sprint reliably, double tap doesn’t work as expected, I died several times. What am I doing wrong?
It just doesnΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t have very good controls. 🙁
Thanks. 🙂
Hi, where and what level is the grandfather clock in? Thank you
I’m having a problem with level 18. I keep getting caught half way down the wall. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to climb faster or something?
No itΓÇÖs just a really annoying part.
Hi, can you please tell me the trick to crossing that river on the thin log!!(just after the electric fence etc) I get half way across and then she just falls!
