Glitches and Oversights

**Glitches** happen when the game works as it wasn't supposed to by the developer(s). some might be bugs while others are things are just wrong, Some glitches can be useful to the Player, some have no meaningful effect, and some can ruin the experience of the game for the Player.

## Stuck Granny glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

This glitch freezes Granny in place unless the Player gets knocked out from falling from the Attic or gets bitten by the Spider. First, when you spawn, grab the vase. Then, stand in front of the Bed and drop it. Hide under the bed. Wait for Granny to come. When Granny turns away, hit the bed icon twice. If you do it quickly enough, Granny will turn around but not attack you. When she turns away, do it again. Granny is now frozen in place. She will not even go to the player they are holding the Teddy. Sometimes, if the player leaves the bed after the glitch is supposed to be completed, the player will get knocked out without the animation playing. Alternatively, the player can crouch behind the bed and spam tap the bed button when Granny comes, but there isn't a sure 100% chance that this will work.

* When using the Pepper Spray on Granny after the glitch is done combined with teleporting her to the Basement (by placing the Book on the lectern in the Bookshelf Room), she will wipe her face and eyes, and begin moving upstairs very oddly, with all of her animations out of order except for the face wiping animation next time it is used. Some more testing is needed, though, to establish whether the glitch makes her take the same route and halt at the same spots every time.
* This glitch is still possible in Version 1.7.3 (with the exception of Easy) as long as the Player crouches in the corner and spams the bed button. This glitch will work since day 2, although the chance of this happening is very small since Day 3. Keep in mind: once the glitch is activated, the Teddy can't be delivered anymore. Therefore, it prevents the Player from receiving the Secret Ending. A video of it can be seen here.
* This glitch can also be done by placing the Freeze Trap in front of the Nursery and luring her there and delivering Teddy when she steps on the trap which will cause her to be stuck on the Basement spot**.** However, unlike the previous method, **Granny won't be able to attack you anymore even if you get knocked out.** This is a safer and better method. A video of this can be seen here.

## Stuck Spider Mom Glitch

Reported by: MattapoisettPatton27

This glitch is very similar to the above glitch however it works on Spider Mom rather than Granny. To do this, immediately go over to the vent leading to the Sewer upon entering the Spider Cellar and knock down the vent grid. Don't exit the Spider Cellar yet. Once the vent grid is out of the way, stand at the end of the hallway and let Spider Mom spot you. When she sees you and starts chasing you, lead her to the Sewer vent and stand in between but closer to the Sewer, and then when you see Spider Mom come in front of the vent, immediately fall out of the vent and into the Sewer. If you do it right, you'll hear the jumpscare sound effect that plays when you get caught, but you won't be knocked out. Then, go back to the Spider Cellar, and Spider Mom will be frozen next to the Sewer vent. You can now freely explore the Spider Cellar. A video of this can be seen here.

* You will sometimes hear Spider Mom roar the first time you enter the Spider Cellar again after the first few times of doing this glitch. Don't be alarmed if this happens, this is just random and nothing bad has happened. The glitch will continue working as intended whether this happens or not. This may happen in the first 5 or so times the first time this glitch is ever done on your device or install of the app, and then it won't happen again.
* Getting knocked out will free Spider Mom from this glitch, and upon entering the Spider Cellar for the first time the next day, she will immediately know your whereabouts. However, after you wait a few seconds she will continue behaving like normal. If you want to have the Spider Cellar free again after this, you will have to do this glitch again.

## Spider Mom Waypoint Change Glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.8.1.**

Reported by: Unknown

After you're spotted by Spider Mom, when you're in a safe place and she gives up on trying to catch you, she will choose a random waypoint to go to as expected. However, a few seconds after this she will randomly choose another one, immediately changing which waypoint she is walking to. This often has no visible effect, if the new waypoint is in the same direction as the original one, but in some cases it isn't, and thus causing her to abruptly turn around. This can be fatal if you are following behind Spider Mom when this happens. She will only do this once after you get spotted once. If you get knocked out in any way before it happens, it won't happen.

## Access Spider Cellar without Spider Key Glitch

Reported by: Darylsthot

The Player can access the Spider Cellar area without requiring the Book or Spider Key. To do so, you must find a hiding space (Bed, Chest or Car) and spam the hide button while standing up, which will trigger the speedy crawling glitch. Then go to a tunnel and press your control button upwards at the same time as standing up. This will cause you to fall through the map and be transported to the Spider Cellar. You will end up in a different place depending on the tunnel that you perform this glitch in.

* Secret Area Tunnel - this is the most recommended path to perform the glitch as you will be transported directly to the Spider Cellar Tunnel and can go ahead like normal. Go to the far left part of the tunnel nearer to the Secret Area and face the wall. Then, perform the glitch. Once you land in the Spider Cellar Tunnel , make sure to crouch straight away as some players have fallen under the map when they've kept standing up, causing them to be forced to quit the game.
* Shed Corner - To execute this version of the glitch, go to the Chest and press the hide button twice at the same time as the crouch button. This will trigger the speedy crawling glitch. Then, go into the shed and walk towards the far right corner and face the door. Then while moving the joystick diagonally back left, press the crouch button and you should be in the wall. Then walk forward until the corner, and underneath you will be the Pipe Room. Keep walking until the ground is directly beneath you, then you can drop down. Spider-Mom does not spawn unless you come in from the trapdoor that requires the Spider Key to open. On Preset 4, it is possible to get all the items required for the Pipe Escape without ever entering any room in the Spider Cellar other than the Pipe Room with this glitch.
* Shed Tunnel- head to the right side of the tunnel and face the wall, nearer the Basement and perform the glitch. If done correctly, you will be transported to the small corridor in the Spider Cellar . Be careful when navigating the area as Spider Mom will spawn in the area quickly after you glitch yourself in. You will know that she is there when the ambience music starts playing.
* Sewer Tunnel-the glitch can also be performed through this tunnel. Go to the left side near the Sewer Area and face the wall. If done correctly, you will be transported to the barred off area in the Spider Cellar. This method of doing the glitch is only useful if the Player either has already unlocked the Iron Bars, otherwise they will be trapped forever and will have to restart the game. However, if they happen to for some reason be holding the Teddy while doing this, Spider Mom will phase through the Iron Bars and knock you out, therefore you won't be trapped forever.

The Secret Area Tunnel is the best place to perform this due to the fact that it always works and you won't spawn in a place that leaves you trapped or vulnerable to Spider Mom.

## Spider in Attic glitch

Reported by: HazmatCat

**Spider in Attic glitch** involves the bloody mannequin. To trigger it, simply knock it down and stand in the position where it would be standing up when you reset it. It is recommended to do this in practice mode. Once the mannequin respawns, you should glitch upwards for a split second and hear the spider hiss at you. Sometimes, you may die. Other times, the spider will follow your location but only stay on its floor. If you go on the stairwell, the spider will float above you and glitch, but it wont attack you. Occasionally, the spider teleports to the attic.

## Opening the explosive chest without dying glitch

Reported by: Xion74

**Opening the explosive chest without dying glitch** happens when you're as far away from the chests as possible when opening one. You will not die to any of the explosive chests if you're as far away as possible.

How do to this glitch: Try to go as far as possible as even a little less distance will make you die. You will not be able to do this glitch in the standing position as you will just keep on opening and closing the Elevator door. The crouching position also helps you to move more carefully. If you're on PC then stick to the walls and crouch slowly as the speed is always set to the max in both Crouching and Standing. However, this is not a problem in Mobile as you have full speed control.

## Invisibility glitches

### Basic Invisible Glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.5.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

This glitch makes the Player invisible to Granny, and Granny will not attack the player. Beware that it will not stop noise from happening, it will not stop bear traps from activating, and falling from the attic still knocks the player out, although they stay invisible. To do this glitch, go to the attic, crouch, go to the vent door and push it in the vent. If the door disappears, that means you have become invisible. However, this does not always work. Also, this causes a lot of lag and other negative side effects, making this glitch not recommended. A better alternative is the Freeze Granny glitch.

### Crouching Semi-Invisibility glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.6.** Reported by: Unknown

**Crouching Semi-Invisibility glitch** would make the Player semi-invisible and that could be done multiple times during a game. With Granny spotting the player and approaching, the player would crouch and then stand, to seem invisible to Granny throughout her "investigation", as long as the camera wasn't moved (however dropping items and remaining invisible was possible). She would usually drop a bear trap, and then move on, with a distorted voice and lagging movement animation for a couple of seconds until she would be out of range of the player. This glitch would even let the player pick up and hold the Teddy without her killing them, simply by crouching and standing up. This made the glitch useful in games as it could be used anywhere and anytime.

### Pepper Spray Invisibility glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.7.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

If the Player retrieves the Pepper Spray and heads up to the Attic and when Granny comes, spray her and then immediately fall through the Unstable Flooring, this will cause them to die and be totally invisible to her the next day. However, if they use the Pepper Spray on her again she will go blind and then revert back to normal after 30 seconds.

### Stuck Pepper Spray Invisibility glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

Now, since version 1.7, you can do the now working Stuck Granny glitch, then spray her with the Pepper Spray. this will cause you to become invisible to Granny and she will go to the location she would have if you hadn't frozen her. After she reaches it she will stop and walk in place, and nothing else can effect her after this.

## See Your Death glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.5, but returned in Version 1.7.3, but was patched again in Version 1.7.4.**

Reported by: HazmatCat2004

This is a glitch in Granny that is somewhat rare and specific. To trigger it, go to the Attic and lure Granny to the Unstable Flooring. Next, once Granny is there, fall through the hole while spamming the crouching button. When you get down, Granny will scream but you will hit the ground and make a crunch, at the same time. Repeat this on days On day 3, run to Granny and she will knock you out. This will start to glitch. When you wake up, the screen will be a bit darker and you won't get out of bed with the animation. Repeat the day method for day 4. Now, on day 5, just get knocked out by Granny ASAP. When you wake up, you will hear the game over music playing, and then you will spawn in the Starting Bedroom. Walk towards the death scene, and you will watch Granny kill an invisible person, without running in to the duplicate. Besides, the Granny at the death scene is not solid, you can walk through her. This glitch is very common if you do it right. A video of this can be seen here.

There is a faster and easier method to trigger this glitch: head towards the Basement and approach Granny as fast as possible you can, you will be knocked out. Repeat the day 1 method for the other Days. On Day 4, if the Player wakes up immediately (there is no waking up cut scene), you did it right. Now, just get knocked out by Granny ASAP on Day 5. A video of this can be seen here.

### Speedy Crawling in See Your Death glitch

Sometimes, when you trigger the glitch above, you will wake up crouching. You will crouch really fast. If you stand up, the glitch resets.

### Duplicate Granny with See Your Death glitch.

This is a weird glitch. When witnessing your own death, there will be 2 Granny at the same time: one at the kill scene, and another one in the Basement and this Granny will walk towards your location. Beware, if you go near the moving Granny, she will knock you out. Then, the Game Over scene will continue. This glitch can be seen in the Attic and the Basement endings.

## Granny Delayed Investigation Glitch

Reported by: HazmatCat

This glitch makes Granny get stuck while investigating. To trigger it, grab an item and go towards the Dirt Room. Next, drop the item on the table in the Dirt Room. It will make a noise. Granny should come and stand right next to the entrance, and will not knock you out. She will stay there investigating for two minutes or more. She will stay there for two minutes or more unless you make a noise or she sees you. Keep in mind that the free time to explore the house without risk of running into her only is true if you make no other noise. After she is done investigating, she will walk extremely quickly around the basement for a few seconds, and then resets back to normal. During this glitch Granny may also rapidly vibrate while moving slowly, which is unusual.

## Bed Teleportation (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.5.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

This glitch allows the player to be able to teleport under their starting bed whenever they like. First, the player must stand in front of their bed and begin walking forward. Then, they must repeatedly enter and leave their bed while continuing to move forward. Eventually, when the player leaves their bed, they will be all the way on the other side of the room yet they will still be able to go under the bed as they please. However, if the player teleports under their bed while in pursuit by Granny, Granny will begin running towards the bed the player is in and will catch the player if they do not teleport back out of the bed. A video of this can seen here

## Item Disappearing glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

Sometimes when dropping items, they will glitch through the wall or through another surface. This is most noticeable in the secret tunnel in the basement and the playhouse, and most easy to do with dropping a hammer (probably because of its large size). Also when you drop objects near the edge of the inside of the playhouse, Granny's arm or bat might stick through the wall. Often, the glitching items will spawn next to the Well in the Backyard but sometimes they will just disappear meaning the Player will have to restart. This can also happen if the player falls down the Attic hole upon holding an item.

## Weak Walls

### Hidden Closet Doorway (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.6.**

Reported by: Unknown

If Granny stands right beside the doorway of the Hidden Closet and the Player stands up near her, it's almost guaranteed that Granny will knock them out.

### Hidden Room Doorway (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.6.**

Reported by: Unknown

If Granny stands right beside the doorway of the Dirt Room and the Player stands up near her, it's almost guaranteed that Granny will knock them out.

### Kitchen - Foyer Wall

Reported by: Amongis228

If Granny stands right behind the wall that divides the Kitchen from the Foyer, and Player is close enough to her, there is a good chance that Granny will knock them out.

### Basement's Workbench Wall

Reported by: Amongis228

If Granny stands right behind the wall in the Basement on which the Workbench is located, and Player is close enough to her, there is a good chance that Granny will knock them out.

### Sewer Cell's Window Wall

Reported by: Amongis228

If Granny stands right behind the wall of the Sewer Cell, on which the small window, used to shoot the Target Lock is located, and Player is close enough to her, there is a good chance that Granny will knock them out.

### Spider Cellar's Garage Shortcut

Reported by: Unknown

If granny stands in front of cabinet in garage (almost next to) and if you go to the end of the elevated slope, Granny will knock you out.

## Instant Knockout glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

If the player shoots Granny right when Granny is about to hit the player, he/she will still be knocked out. However, on the start of the next day Granny will be unconscious and the Player will have to wait a certain amount of time until Granny becomes active again. It can be used as an advantage to give the Player a "headstart". Upon Version 1.7, when doing this on day 1, the player will get a headstart (as the door is not locked on day 2 anymore).

## Nursery Planks glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

Like abandoned closet planks glitch, Granny can knock down Planks at the Nursery just by walking close to them.

Starting from Version 1.7.1, Granny now can only knock down Planks at the Baby Room's doorway, as it's required for her to get inside this room, if the Player didn't get rid of them first.

## Screwdriver Glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

When they spawn, the Player must retrieve the Grey Vase from the Starting Bedroom and go to the Bathroom. They must go to the left corner of the wall at the other side of the Screwdriver shelf, in-between the sinks and toilet and stand right at it and drop the vase. When at the right spot, the Vase will go through the wall rather than falling to the floor and it'll cause the Screwdriver to fall off the shelf making it obtainable without a Tranquilizer Dart or Shotgun. If Gasoline Can spawn on Screwdriver shelf you can also drop it. If Granny is present she will investigate the Study. A video of this can be seen here.

## Speedy Crawling/Slow Walking Glitch

Reported by: LoriCiaone

To do this, you will need a Bed, Chest, or the Car.

Stand near one of these, crouch, then hit the un-crouch button and the hide button at the same time. If you did this correctly, getting out will result in the Player crouching, with the crouch button still present. When like this, the Player will move faster than regular walking speed. Crouching under a Table or a Shelf near a wall can result in the Player no-clipping through said wall and clipping in the nearest room or, if you're near the edge of the map, get out of it.

You can also do the opposite, although it doesn't provide any advantage to the Player: stand near the hiding place, then hit crouch and hide at the same time. When getting out, you will be standing up, but much slower than regular crouching speed.

## Cabinet Item Clip glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

To perform this glitch, the Player simply has to grab an item (currently, the only item tested to work is the Vase) and enter the Cabinet in the Starting Bedroom. Then, they must crouch, face downwards and drop the vase. If done correctly, they should hear a few clinking sounds in the ground, then the vase will fall to the floor below, drawing Granny to that location. This is especially effective when you wake up after getting knocked out or when you begin a game, as it will give you time to explore the upstairs, Garage, Basement or Attic. As of Version 1.7.3, this glitch is still working.

* The vase will usually appear either on the ground or on the wooden shelf in the Dining Room, however, it will occasionally fall through the entirety of the house, causing it to respawn beside the Well.

## Shotgun Reload Failure glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

Currently, if you were to load the shotgun, then drop it, after picking it back up there is a 2% chance that no “shoot” button will appear. The gun looks as if it is loaded, and when you attempt to load it again a message appears telling you that the gun is indeed, loaded. There is no known fix to this glitch.

## Secret Tunnel glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

Quite often, if you lure Granny to a side of the Secret Area Tunnel and attempt to exit out the other side, she will see you through the tunnel and run back to your location. Although this glitch mostly happens when you lure Granny to the Basement side, it can also happen when you lure her to the Secret Area side. A way to prevent this is to not exit the tunnel until Granny starts looking (which is when she stands still investigating), as a lot of Players tend to exit the tunnel while Granny is still walking down the stairs. However, this won't always work and sometimes you might need to do several tries until you succeed, in which Granny doesn't run back up the stairs once you exit the tunnel. Most of the time she will stop running and get confused and look around by the time she leaves the Basement, but it is always advised to drop an item again in the Basement to make sure she hasn't gone to the Secret Area side or vice versa.

## Bloody Mannequin glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

This is a bug that can affect the game in both ways. If you manage to get the Planks out and make at least 1 of them knock the Bloody Mannequin down, it will always get knocked down when Granny sets it up, thus making Granny stay in place.

## Standing On Granny's Head glitch

Reported by: Unknown

This glitch is performed by dropping an item onto the Bathroom Floor from within the Vent Tunnel and then falling down onto Granny's head as she is entering the room to inspect the noise. Granny will freeze in position with you "standing" on her head and keep looking around and even drop Bear Traps. Sometimes you land right next to her and will be really close but she won't knock you out as long as you remain on the spot. In some instances you may even climb up to her head by clicking the Crouch / Stand button. If you manage to stand on her head long enough, with the camera "shaking" you may even end up in such a view that allows you to see what Granny looks like from the inside. This glitch is shown in several YouTube videos and is still possible in Version 1.5.

## Beyond the Garage Door Glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

To do this glitch, the player must lure Granny to the Garage and be prepared to shoot her with a Tranquilizer Dart or a Shotgun Ammo. Once Granny is knocked out, the Player must move her body until she gets beside the Plywood Wall. (The Garage Door has to be opened). Once done this, the Player must push Granny to the wall and suddenly they will get in the underground tunnel. However, if the Player goes forward the underground tunnel, they will find a dead end which is a black wall. If they get closer, they will be automatically teleported to the Basement.

Another way to do this is grab any of these:

* Grey Vase
* Blue Vase
* Car Battery
* Gasoline Can
* Melon

After doing this, go to the Sauna. Crouch and look at your feet and drop the item. Continue this until you are standing on the edge of the lower shelf. Look down and drop the item until you are able to freely walk along the upper shelf. Then go to the corner closest to the smoke machine and look down and drop the item. You will be teleported to a black place. You should be able to see the Shed in the Backyard if you look up. Walk under the Shed, and you will find yourself in the tunnel.

Now, in version 1.7, you can get the Grey Vase and go to the Sewer Tunnel, and then look down and drop the vase. then you should be on the other side of the wall of the Sewer Tunnel opposite the Crow Room stairs and then stand up, you should fall down and you should be able to see the Garage Tunnel, and you can walk in it.

## Bedroom 2 Respawning glitch (X)

Reported by: *Unknown*

This is a strange and non-beneficial glitch. When Granny is knocked out, the Player should hide under the Bed in Bedroom 2 and wait for her. If she respawns in that very room, she will run to the Bed as if she had seen them go under it and stand there for a few seconds. Luckily, she will never jumpscare them but this is still a very strange happening as the Player was hidden before she came back. For this to occur, she must respawn in this room and not in her other three locations so this glitch isn't very common.
This glitch was technically fixed in Version 1.8 because, Granny no longer spawns near player since Version 1.8.

## Spider Cage glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.6.1.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

The Player must use the Meat method to lure the Spider to the plate and out of the cage. Then they must quickly load their Crossbow with a Tranquilizer Dart or pick up a loaded Shotgun to shoot the button. The Spider will attack the Player and send them to the next day. Then they will notice that the Spider is sitting downstairs right beside the Stair Closet but will not be able to attack the Player. This is due to the Spider having nowhere to go due to its nest being locked. If the Player stands in front of the closed cage, the Spider will make an attack noise but won’t be able to attack them due to the wooden panel blocking it, the Spider also starts to "spin" beside the Cabinet. This is only recommended in Practice mode and this glitch can be triggered with the Crossbow and the Darts only. A video of this can be seen here.

## Remove Blood glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.7.2.**

Reported by: NguyenAnhLam

Since day 2, there is now blood visible on the screen and leaking on to the Bed where the Player wakes up. The Player can "lure" Granny until she drops a Bear Trap. Wait for her for long enough or use any way to distract her to another location, then walk on the trap and remove it. After removing the trap, the Player can notice that the blood disappeared. Even if the Player is knocked out to day 5 (and day 6 if the Painting is completed), the blood won't "come back". This glitch can also be triggered by falling from the Unstable Flooring or getting bitten by the Spectral Rats on Nightmare. A video of this can be seen here.

## Avoid Extreme Creak in Bedroom 1 glitch

Reported by: ItzWaluigiTime86

It is actually possible to avoid the Bedroom 1 creaking floor on Extreme mode. It can only be done if the Player comes from the Walk-In Closet. All they have to do is stick to the right wall and hide under the bed, then get out of it. When getting out of under the bed, you'll notice that you'll appear right in front of the door, that’s it, you avoided the creak. You can then exit the room and go wherever you want. We don’t know if this is really a glitch or if it is intentional... Be aware that it sometimes won’t work because the creak will be placed before the bed, which means whatever you do, it’ll creak anyways... However this does not happens all the time, this is what makes this glitch/trick possible.

## Meat glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

The Player must retrieve the Meat and head upstairs to the Special Room. They should walk to the Plate and have their hand on it, ready to lay the Meat down. Then they should walk round to the side of the Plate which marks the Spider's angry point. When it comes towards them they need to quickly place the Meat on the Plate, which will divert the Spider's attention but make it start to dance. Then it will "sit" in the middle of the room for a few seconds before turning back to its nest. The Meat is left untouched but cannot be taken off the Empty Plate by the Player.

## Remote Control glitch

Reported by: MattapoisettPatton1

You must find the Remote Control. Then, while holding it in your hand, push one of the wooden boxes from the basement up the stairs and over to the Stair Closet. Then crouch and keep walking into the box near one of the corners, and you will find you are standing on it. Then press the "Use" button in the bottom right corner and you will see a massage on the screen that says "I need to get closer" even though you are right there.

## Heartbeat glitch

Reported by: NguyenAnhLam

If you shoot the Spider with the Shotgun, a heartbeat will play, and Granny will follow you wherever you go. This is supposed to never go away unless either you or Granny be knocked down, but it can be removed with this glitch without being hit. Simply pick up the Teddy and drop it, and the heartbeat will fade out and Granny will start investigating again. This also works with the Crow.

## Granny in Special Room glitch

Reported by: HazmatCat

This is a very strange and useful glitch. This will cause Granny to clip through the closed special item door to go to the special room. To trigger it, grab any item. Go into the Jail Cell and throw the item into the far right corner, and make sure the item hits the wall. Once it hits the wall, it will make a noise. This is the start of the glitch, and it can buy you lots of time once triggered, run to the attic tunnel ASAP, and wait for Granny to investigate the special room while clipping through.

## Granny around Sauna Glitch

Reported by: HazmatCat

If the player were to drop an item in the far right corner of the sauna, Granny will not enter the sauna, but rather, hug the wall next to the sauna. If you were to leave the Car, Granny would be right next to you and knock you out. If you close the Sauna door, Granny will teleport inside the door and freeze walk in the door, trying to escape.

## Sauna Door Glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

If Granny sees you from stairs when you are near behind sauna door, go behind sauna door's corner. Granny will still see you in front of door but don't attack you and she will lost you after some seconds.

## Candlestick Glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

This is a strange glitch where the Candlestick in the Secret Area Middle Floor is not colored (gray) at the beginning of every game. To fix the glitch simply knock it off the Shelf that it is placed on. It can be very risky, though, and it is recommended to leave it the way it is because it alerts Granny. This glitch came with version 1.7. The reason why it happens is a simple developer oversight. This glitch seems to only affect gameplays on iOS, as opposed to Android or Steam.

## Clip Through Map glitches

### Sewer Tunnel (X)

**This glitch is exclusive to the Version 1.7.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

To trigger the glitch, grab the Grey Vase from the Starting Bedroom. Next, go to the Sewer Tunnel and drop the vase while looking down in the left most part of the tunnel facing the swamp side. You will now be halfway off of the map. Now, you will see a crouch button. Stand up. You are now free to move about the house. Keep in mind that crouching will cause you to be teleported to the basement. A video of it can be seen here.

### Under Well

Reported by: Cyberius

**Under Well** exists only in the mobile port of *Granny,* it can be used to teleport from the Backyard to the Garage's doorway.

To execute it, crouch under the Well's roof, get in one of the Well's sharp corners, and then stand up. If executed correctly, you will fall through the ground, and teleport to the Garage's doorway.

## Backyard Door glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

This is a useful glitch, if you get in the Swamp Cellar through the trapdoor and then you drop something inside, Granny will come in the backyard to investigate the sound and she will remain at the Dining Room door endlessly until you made noise somewhere else. You will know that the glitch works when you hear the dining room door opening and closing continuously.

## Manual Unfreeze glitch (X)

**This glitch is exclusive to the Version 1.7.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

Using the **Manual Unfreeze** **glitch** **(a.k.a. Unfreeze Player glitch)**, the Player could unfreeze themselves without having to wait 10 seconds, where it would happen automatically.

To execute it, step on the Freeze Trap, pause the game, then resume the game, and crouch and stand up. If executed correctly, the Player will be able to walk again, with frost still being on their screen.

## Immediately Pick Up Items glitch

Reported by: MattapoisettPatton1

Get the Freeze Trap, then lay it down and step on it while looking at it. Before you get unfrozen, press the hand. Next time Granny is chasing you, aim at an item you need and you will pick it up immediately without the little hand in the corner showing.

## Sauna Softlock

Reported by: *Unknown*

**Sauna Softlock** is possible, because the Player can't get pushed by a moving Door, rather they will clip through it. This glitch makes the Player get stuck in the Sauna for the rest of the game, unless they find a way to attract Granny inside the Sauna.

To execute it, stand in the doorway of the Sauna, then, close the Sauna Door, and block it off with a plank. To finish it, move more inside the Sauna, now the Player won't be able to open the Sauna Door.

Reported by: MattapoisettPatton1

You can get on top of the Drawer stand in Bedroom 2 by crouching then opening both of the Drawers and go under and if you go forward and stand up at the same time you will get on top and be able to stick your head into the Nursery. However this only works in Bedroom 2 Drawers.

## Instant Respawn glitch

Reported by: Darylsthot

Sometimes, if the Player shoot her with the Shotgun, her body will disappear and she will instantly respawn. This can be dangerous if she is nearby as they may not have any nearby spare ammo and is very inconvenient. If she respawns far away, this can give the player time to get more ammo to shoot her again or run off.

## Stuck Shotgun glitch

Reported by: MattapoisettPatton27

If the Player drops the Shotgun inside the Sewer, it will get stuck by its barrel in the ceiling due to it being a very long item, that drops vertically.

## Playhouse Semi-Death glitch

Reported by: Fluffykitten123456

**Playhouse Semi-Death glitch** only works on such difficulties as: Easy, Hard and Extreme. This glitch takes multiple steps to be executed properly, those are:

1. Grab the Grey Vase from the Starting Bedroom.
2. Drop the Grey Vase by the Playhouse.
3. Crouch when you hear Granny struggling to open the Backyard Door.
4. When you see Granny coming towards you, keep crouching towards the Playhouse's back corner.
5. When Granny is just about where she can hit you, stand up, you will either get knocked out, or not.

If executed correctly, you will slightly fall through the Playhouse, hear Granny making the jumpscare sound and swinging her bat, you will have blood on your screen, you won't be able to move anywhere, but also won't get knocked out. This glitch will last until you get caught in one of Bear Traps, placed by Granny.

## Stuck Spider glitch

Reported by: Sweet Prize

After the spider finishes eating the meat, the player will have to quickly go in the spider's line of sight when it is near its cage. The player then has to quickly get out of its LOS. The spider will walk in place, stuck. If the player go a bit near the spider, it will attack. This won't kill the player, only the animation.

(For images, see the Spider page)

## Bed Jumpscare glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

If Granny jumpscares you under a bed while you are holding an item, the item will appear on the left wall of the starting bedroom the next day, and as you wake up the item will fly to your hand. The drop icon is also missing. The only way to get rid of the item is to pick up a different item. If you were holding a Crossbow with a tranquilizer dart loaded, the crossbow and the dart will float to you. The shoot button will be on the screen, but not the drop button.

## Cool Speedrunning Glitch, and Cool Invisibility Glitch (X)

**This glitch is exclusive to the Android version of Version 1.2.**

Go to the hiding place in the crouch space in the Attic, get the Vase and you glitch out the map, you get the jail locked and you can get the Item from the fan without the Cutting Pliers, and you all into the Room with the Weapon box, Granny wont be able to get the Player and then you can play the game without getting caught, unless you fall down the Broken Floor. This was sadly patched in Version 1.3.

## Broken Extra Locks glitch (X)

**This glitch is exclusive to the iOS version of Version 1.6.1.**

Reported by: Unknown

There was a glitch in Version 1.6.1 that prevented iOS users from using Extra locks. Note that this glitch never existed for Android at all, this was later fixed in the iOS Version of Version 1.7.

## Tunnel Death glitch

Reported by: HenryMazzarulli

Go to the secret tunnel and make noise on the secret area side. Granny will come investigate the noise. Slowly approach Granny. She will hit you but you will fall through the map to behind the workbench. A video of this can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO71S7UGy8w

Here's why this happens: This glitch occurs because one isn't supposed to be standing up inside the secret tunnel. That's why the crouch icon disappears when you enter it. If you're on the very edge of the tunnel, however, you're still inside the secret tunnel so you can't stand up, but your hitbox is within the range where Granny can grab you. she doesn't pull you out of the secret tunnel because you're already halfway outside of it, but you're not fully outside of it. and like I said before, you're not supposed to be standing up in the secret tunnel. Above the secret tunnel, there's just blackness and nothing really [this can be proven by downloading the Outwitt mod and no-clipping to above the secret tunnel]. You can't stand up to reach Granny because you're in the secret tunnel, so your legs fall through the bottom instead, and then you fall out of the map, which is why the game teleports you to behind the workbench

## Bedroom 2 Stuck Granny glitch

Reported by: HenryMazzarulli

Sometimes Granny will get stuck on the door of bedroom 2. She'll just keep walking into it as if she doesn't know it's there. A video of this can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usbkux8ONRc

Extra info: It happens most often when Granny respawns in bedroom 2 after day 3 because that's when the door gets locked. Sometimes it happens on day 2, before that door has been opened for the first time on that day. Or you can just close that door again and the glitch might work. It isn't nearly as finicky as some glitches, like the Shotgun Reload Failure glitch. I’ve only ever observed this glitch in hard mode, but it probably does exist in other difficulties too.

HenryMazzarulli is the one who wrote these messages and added this glitch to this page. Hi everyone. Anyway, I just want to say it's really weird to me because it seems like Vividplays and I are the only ones who experienced this glitch for ourselves. It seems like this because it isn't featured on channels like LightningBlueDragon, even though LBD pretty much top tier for discovering glitches that make gameplay significantly easier. It's especially surprising to me given how easy this glitch is to pull off.

I discovered this when I was in the attic. I was in hard mode, as always. I just knocked down the planks, broke the floor, smashed the camera, cut the fan, etc. I'd done everything you can do in the attic, except for feed the spider. I had gotten ready to drop into the bathroom as I heard Granny's fast approaching footsteps. I hid for about 3 minutes and wondered "what's taking her so long? her house isn't so big that it should take her 3 minutes to walk over here" so I cautiously went over to the unstable flooring and burst out laughing when I saw what had happened. The first thing I thought was "wow, granny's as stupid as Slendrina's mother!" I know you didn't need to hear all that and I'm sorry for rambling, but this is just so funny and weird to me, especially given that this glitch has been around for over a year now.

## Frozen Death Crouch glitch

Reported by: HenryMazzarulli

To execute this glitch, crouch, drop the Freeze Trap, and get caught by it. After you're completely frozen, and there is no cold air coming out of the trap, let Granny knock you out. You're frozen, so you don't have the ability to move or crouch. When granny knocks you out and you wake up the next day, you'll notice that the crouch button has mysteriously disappeared, and you have to restart your game if you want to beat it.

## Double Game Over glitch

Reported by: *Unknown*

If you trigger the See your own death glitch and fall from the Unstable Flooring, another Game Over scene will play until the previous one completes.

## Delayed Death glitch

Reported by: Amongis228

This glitch can happen while trying to execute the stuck granny glitch, and is similar to the Playhouse Semi-Death glitch.

**Delayed Death glitch** isn't beneficial to the Player, rather it gets them into a situation, where they are guaranteed to get knocked out by Granny. To execute it, lure Granny near a Bed, after she walks a bit away, quickly get out and back under a Bed twice.

If executed correctly, Granny's hit animation will play, a slap noise will play, and the Player's screen will be covered in blood. Until the Player stands up out of the Bed, Granny will be stuck with no animation, but also won't be knocking them out. Once they do stand up, Granny will immediately knock the Player out without playing her hit animation, and without her hit sound.

## Basement Safe Glitch (X)

**This glitch was patched in Version 1.3.2.**

Reported by: *Unknown*

This glitch can be executed only on Preset #4, where the Cutting Pliers are inside of the Basement Safe.

To execute it, you will have to center your camera at the small gap of the Basement Safe, to the right of its door, and try to pick the pliers up. It may take a few attempts, but you will eventually get the Cutting Pliers without opening the Basement Safe.

## Weapon Safe Glitch (X)

**This glitch is exclusive to the Version 1.7.9.3.**

To execute this glitch, you will need to crouch under an edge of the Weapon Safe and stand up, you will now be glitched into it. Then, carefully moving your camera you can take the Crossbow and load it with a Tranquilizer Dart without opening the Weapon Safe.

## Playhouse Item Glitch

Reported by: Wolf20482

This glitch allows you to obtain the item locked behind the Cogwheel Safe without obtaining the cogwheels.

To execute this glitch, obtain the Playhouse Key and open the Playhouse Padlock. Go to the Chest near it, press the crouch button, then immediately press the stand button then quickly press the hide button twice. After that, you should be outside of the chest. **Do NOT press the crouch button.** You should still be able to go into the Playhouse without pressing the crouch button. After that, move your camera carefully near the Cogwheel Safe, and you should still be able to get the item locked behind the Cogwheel Safe without using the Cogwheels to open it. A video of this can be seen here.

## Wrong Located Fall-Damage Sound That Granny Can Hear Glitch

Reported by: Blazedolf

To execute this glitch, die to Granny in the air while crouching. It makes the fall damage sound play at the start of every day, and makes Granny go to the start of the Stairs between the Secret Area Top Floor and Secret Area Middle Floor at the start of every day.

## Auto-Move Glitch

Reported by: Blazedolf

To execute this glitch go under a Bed or enter a Chest or enter the Car when you are moving with joystick (don't stop moving with joystick). Then release your finger and exit where you entered. Your joystick will move you automatically in a direction which you entered.

This bug can be fixed with fall damage or dying.

This bug is also can executed with press the setting and release your hands while you moving then close settings.

## Spider Cellar Music Glitch [X(For Pc)]

**This glitch was patched on the PC Port in Version 1.3.1.**

Reported by: Blazedolf

If you play with music turned off and get spotted by Spider Mom, the Spider Cellar music will play, and it will continue until you get knocked out, even if you're not in the Spider Cellar.

So far this glitch is only happening on Apple devices. And it only works if you play the game without music the entire game. Even when getting chased by Granny, the music from the Spider Cellar will still play on top of the chase music, making it difficult for players to know what is happening.

## Hazards kill Player Glitch

Reported by: LOKEEUGENE

This glitch starts happening on V1.7.9.3. Here's what it actually happen:

If you step on some random items or hazards in the game, you will suddenly get killed and be sent to the next day/Game Over.

However, this glitch only happens if you step on Granny's knocked out body, Mannequin, the Boxes, the Empty Plate, or the Chair.

A video of this glitch happening on Laowu's gameplay video can be seen here (timestamp 13:07).

## Player stuck in Playhouse Glitch

Reported by: Unknown

There is a glitch where the player can actually enter the Playhouse by crouching, crawling underneath the Playhouse window and then un-crouch. However, the Player will be stuck until the next day, assuming that Granny can even find the player and knock them out.
If the Player want this glitch to happen, here's the procedure:

Make a noise in the Playhouse, make sure that you get Granny in front of the small door so that she can place a Bear Trap in front of the Playhouse door. The Bear Trap must be inside the Playhouse enough so that Player can activate it. Afterwards, walk into the Bear Trap. When the trap closes in on the Player, it causes them to suddenly stand up. They won't be able to move, they cannot take any items, and they are stuck until Granny comes to investigate the noise.

## Fast Crouch Glitch

Reported by: Loutar828q1

In order to make this glitch work, go in any of these hiding places: Bed, Chest, or the Car, and then walk up to the any of them, crouch, after that you quickly stand back up and then hide in the Chest. If timed correctly, you should be able to crouch quickly, this can be quite helpful for going through Tunnels, but other than that, it's quite useless.

## Granny Temporary Stuck Glitch

Reported by: Unknown

To execute this glitch, grab an item then go to in front of Stair Closet then throw the item to behind the door from hole. Be sure item dropped behind the door and didn't unlocked the door with Remote Control. Then hide or go somewhere else where Granny can't see you and don't make any noise until, Granny decides to go somewhere. Granny will stuck behind the door until you unlock the door with remote control or make any noise.

This glitch also can be made by Sauna, close the planks, throw item behind sauna door or inside of sauna, and hide. Same thing will happen.

* This glitch is harder to do with sauna because, if you hided to Car or cabinet, it's little hard to leave here without Granny seeing you.

* For some reason Granny can't open the sauna door if you do this glitch. But Granny will open the door if Granny notices you.

## Granny cannot attack Player (Version 1.7.9.3)

Reported by: Cyril Sastrillas

In order to execute this glitch, the player must grab the Pepper Spray and go up to the Mannequin Room. The player then must lure Granny to the room, and when she comes, along if there is a close-enough distance, the player sprays granny and drops through the Unstable Flooring as fast as possible. If done correctly, when the player wakes up, Granny should not be able to see them, and chase them directly, but her head will still track you.

## Unstable Flooring Fall Damage Glitch (Version 1.7.9.3)

Reported by: Cyril Sastrillas

Reported by: *Cyril Sastrillas*

There is a glitch that allows the player to grab the Screwdriver (or the Gasoline Can on preset #3) without the use of the Shotgun and the Crossbow. The player needs to grab either the Blue Vase or the Grey Vase. Next, go to the Bathroom and then position yourself next to the wall, which is in-between the sinks and the toilet. If positioned correctly, you throw the vase in a way so it clips through the wall, and you've successfully executed this glitch. For better observation, see the gif.

## Time misunderstanding

Reported by: Ali malallah

Report date: 18 November 2023

DVloper doesn't have a good understanding of time, Granny's house was surely made in the 1830's or somewhere near it, yet the house has a car, cars where invented in 1886, and her house has a TV, TVs were invented in 1927, and also in Granny's House there is a security camera that can see the player and close the door on him/her all on it's own, those types of security cameras were invented in 1948.
