Two currently documented Home Alone (Anomaly) chores are tied to bedrooms: Clean Your Room and Clean Your Parents’ Room. Their loops look similar—pick up scattered objects and place them in a matching container—but their objects and destinations are different. The easiest way to lose time is to carry the correct object into the wrong room or leave after the placement animation without checking progress.
Clean Your Room: toys and crayons
Current guidance places toys and crayons on the floor of the player’s room and points to a toy box as their destination. Enter only after confirming the board names your room. Scan the floor before picking anything up so you know the visible set. Carry one object to the toy box, use the current placement prompt, and wait for the task progress to update.
Repeat with a simple wall-to-wall sweep. Look beside furniture and at floor edges when one object remains. Do not drop toys near the box and assume proximity counts; use the actual interaction. If another object is already held when the chore begins, put it down or finish its task first so it does not block the toy prompt.
Clean Your Parents’ Room: clothes and laundry
The parents’ room uses clothing on the floor and a laundry basket rather than the toy box. Start at the doorway and sweep around the bed and furniture. Pick up one clothing item, carry it to the basket, and complete the placement action. The room is also relevant to the Cat Lady visitor case, so separate a chore from a house-state check: clothing belongs to the task, while a reported cat clue belongs to a visitor decision.
If a knock happens while you are holding clothes, remember whether the item has registered. Complete a safe placement only if it takes a moment and does not make you miss the visitor’s audio. Otherwise, leave it, solve the door event, and return to the same room. Verify the objective before continuing because the event may have changed what needs attention.
Keep the two room loops separate
Use the task wording to choose the object-container pair:
- Your room: toys or crayons → toy box.
- Parents’ room: clothes → laundry basket.
This mapping is more reliable than memorizing an exact object count. Counts can change, and objects can be partially hidden by the camera angle. The destination tells you which interaction the task expects. If an object cannot be placed, confirm that it belongs to the active room and is not scenery or part of another objective.
A reliable bedroom sweep
- Read the board and name the room out loud or in a note.
- Enter the correct bedroom without carrying an unrelated task item.
- Identify the matching container before picking up the first object.
- Sweep the visible floor in one direction.
- Carry and place one object at a time.
- Wait for progress after each placement.
- Search behind the open door, bed edges, and furniture only when the counter says something remains.
- Return to the front room after completion so you can respond to visitors quickly.
One-at-a-time handling may seem slower, but it protects the task state and makes a missing object easier to diagnose. No public source establishes that stacking or throwing several objects at a container is supported.
Balance room chores with visitor checks
Bedrooms are farther from the front door and laptop than kitchen tasks, so avoid beginning a deep-room sweep during an unresolved sound. Keep game audio audible and return promptly at a knock. A visitor may require checking a bedroom object, and the room chore can make you notice changes that are not connected to that caller. Follow the visitor’s exact claim and evidence channel.
In a group, one player can remain near the door while another completes the room task. The room player should report raw evidence if asked—such as the visible cat state—without assuming the door verdict. If task progress is not shared, let one player own the pickup-and-place loop.
Fix a missing object or prompt
First check that the active chore is still the same. Put down unrelated objects, then approach the intended pickup from another angle. If the pickup worked but the destination does not, face the container and wait for its specific prompt. Look behind an open door and around the bed only after completing the obvious floor items.
If the board shows one remaining target, do not restart the whole house search. Repeat the room sweep and distinguish interactable objects from static decoration. If several unrelated prompts also fail, record the objective, platform, and server age, then use the broader Troubleshooting guide.
Room chores FAQ
Are the object counts fixed?
No official count is published. Use the current objective counter and visible task objects.
Can a visitor clue appear in the same room?
Yes. Current community guides point to the parents’ room for a Cat Lady case. Treat that as a separate evidence check from putting clothes away.
Do dropped objects count?
The documented route uses an interaction with the correct container. Dropping an object nearby should not be assumed to register.
