### Added In

Version 1.3

The **Backyard** is an area of the game map that was added in the Version 1.3. It is the only outside area in Granny, and it contains various features and items that are required to escape.

## Description

The **Backyard** contains the Well, the Playhouse, the Guillotine, the Shed, a Chest that the Player can hide inside of, a Bell Alarm, a door connecting the **Backyard** and the Dining Room that only Granny can use and unlock, a window connecting the **Backyard** and the Dining Room that only the Player can use, and a few wooden pallets.

The floor of the Backyard itself is presumably made of grass, and a fence around the Backyard is equipped with barbed wire that comes up and in, much like a prison. In Version 1.7, a cover was added beside the Playhouse that will lead to the Sewer Drain. Since V1.7.9.3, the backyard now has a moonlight atmosphere, similar to that one in Granny 3, along with a sky background, and now you can see the outside of the Starting Bedroom above, where before there was only a pitch black, looking like it was a ceiling instead of open sky. (Similar to Granny 3, which the background was recycled from.)

## Access

To access the **Backyard**, the player can either climb through the window in the Dining Room, or crawl through the Shed Tunnel connecting the Dirt Room to the Shed. The door leading to the Backyard is *always* kept locked, and only Granny can use it. However, the player can walk through it if they make a noise in the Backyard and then enter after Granny reaches where the sound was made.

## Strategies

* Because Granny has 1 out of 3 chances in going to the **Backyard**, the **Backyard** is one of the safest places in the game. There are also 4 hiding places: the Chest, the Playhouse, the Shed Tunnel, and the Sewer Drain. *(Note that you will only be able to go back to the backyard if they go out of the Meat Room in the Secret Area and either go down in the Foyer or go in the Secret Area Tunnel and back in the Backyard through the Shed Tunnel.)*
* To avoid stepping on the Bell Alarm, the player should walk around the side of the Guillotine where the Bell Alarm's tripwire disconnects, therefore not alerting Granny.
* If the player makes a noise, they can choose to hide in the Chest or in the Playhouse, or escape via the Shed Tunnel or the Sewer. The player can also choose to escape via the window, but the timing has to be on point.
	+ To do this, the player has to lure Granny to the Backyard by making noise. The player has to then jump through the window right when Granny opens the door.
	+ If the player wishes to do this, they should escape the Backyard quickly, because after inspecting the Backyard for a few moments, Granny will go back into the Dining Room and subsequently, the Ground Floor.
	+ There is also another trick. If the Player wishes to pull it off, the should make a noise in these preferable spots: such as the Shed. the Guillotine or the Bell Alarm. The Player then hides behind the Backyard Door, and waits for Granny. Once she arrives, she should open the door, and check the area where the noise was made in. While she is doing so, you just maneuver your way around the door and escape the **Backyard**.

## Trivia

* Any object that falls through the map will get teleported to this area, beside the well.
	+ Before the **Backyard** was added in Version 1.3, the objects that fell out of the map used to get teleported onto the table in Bedroom 2.
* The background image of the current Options Menu is taken from the **Backyard.**
	+ Before Version 1.7.9.3, the image used to be taken from the Basement Game Over cutscene, from the moment when Granny threw the player down the stairs.
* The walls of the Well merge into the big pillar in the Pipe Room, where the Screwdriver Safe sits.
* The ambience noises in this area used to be louder, but they were lowered in Version 1.7.2.
* In the PC Port of the game, there is no moonlight atmosphere, nor the stars in the sky.
