Level 10: Video coming soon!
This is a stressful level, as you’re constantly running for your life. The garbage is alive and will kill you if it catches up to you.
First, open the dumpster lid. Then jump out and run like the dickens down the left path and onto the box. Keep making your way around to the box with the crank. Turn the crank so the broken part of the propeller is by the weighted box.
Then head up the ramp and turn the other crank to lower the hook down to the box. Then run like crazy around to the other side of the propeller. Climb onto the propeller and attach the hook to the box.
Make your way back up the ramp to the crank and use it to lift the box up. Then turn the propeller again so the undamaged side is below the box. Lower the box again so it’s resting on the propeller.
Turn the propeller again so that the broken side is by Six (you) and the box is up in the direction of the dumpster. Now, make your way around to that box and walk the plank.
Make your way to the cinderblock. Be careful here, because the garbage runs in circles around it. Time it right and run to the next ramp. You’re sort of safe now.
There’s six planks here that you can slide down, but only one will give you a soft landing. The others will kill you. So make sure to go down from the third to the left.
Head left and up the ladder. Push the trash can to the right. If you head along the edges to the left, you can find the jack-in-the-box. Otherwise, let’s continue with the trash cans. First, push one of them up and one of them down. Then push both of them right. Push the top one down and left so it hits the broken pipe that’s jutting out. Then push that same trash can down. Push the other can left against it and then through the gap and down the plank. Then follow it down, but make sure to take the third plank from the left again.
Now you have a really annoying part where you have to climb the wall and avoid the falling debris. The smaller pieces of trash warn you about the bigger pieces so you can move out of the way, but it’s still tricky to pull off. Once at the top, go through the door to complete Level 10.
Level 11: Video coming soon!
First, go through the crack in the wall on the lower level. Push the wooden plank down so you can see a clue. There are five rows, each with an X. Notice the position of each X. It goes: Middle, Left, Right, Right, Left.
Now, leave the room and go up the stair. Step on the three X’s in that order, making sure to stop back onto the non-button tiles in between each one. Now the door should open! Go through.
Climb onto the box and take the bent hanger. Go back downstairs. If you want to get the jack-in-the-box, go through the hole again and use the hanger to open the air vent. The jack-in-the-box is through there. Then, leave that room again and use the hanger to pull down the box in the corner. Take the fuse that falls out of it.
Head back upstairs. Replace the burnt out fuse with the new fuse. Then step on the button until you see a red scarf at the very edge of the clothesline, behind the grate.
Then, climb up the stack of sheets to the shelf and stretch out the scarf. Climb back down and step on the button until the scarf is above the radiator. Then climb onto the box again where you got the hanger and use the scarf to swing across to the top of the machine. Push the box down onto the button.
Climb down and back onto the box and wait for the scarf to come back around. Then grab it and hang onto it. It will automatically drop you onto the desk. Go through the air vent to complete Level 11.
Level 12: Video coming soon!
This is another level with a lot of potential death. First, climb up onto the ironing board. Push the iron down and plug it in, then run like crazy behind the second ironing board while he’s facing the other direction. You need to get through the door before he turns around again.
Go through the first laundry room. There’s nothing to do there yet, so continue through the next door to the second laundry room. Climb up the small gray shelves and through the air vent. Now you’re in the first laundry room on top of the machines.
This part is tricky. Stand on top of the darker machine and press the button to turn it on. Then quickly jump into the right laundry cart before the guy sees you. When he’s distracted with the machine, jump out and head left through the door and back to the room with the key.
Here, you can climb up the laundry tower and through the air vent to find a jack-in-the-box, but you need to do so before grabbing the key. When you’re ready, grab the key and head through the door again. Go through the first laundry room and into the second laundry room.
Here, the guy is walking back and forth to put laundry into machines. You need to wait until the second he turns his back on you and then make a run for it into the first open machine. Then, when he’s not looking, run into the second one. Ignore the third, because he’ll catch you in that one. Instead, just run straight for the door the second he’s behind you. Then unlock the door and go through to complete Level 12.

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!
