The basement: how to open it and what to do inside
It opens only after every other zone in The House is clean. Inside, the vent on the wall does not take leaves, so push them into a pile at the bottom of the stairs, pick them up by hand and sell them. Do that twice and a passage opens in the wall.
Before it opens
The basement door says you have to complete all the zones first. Flush, 0:52
Your current zone and its percentage show in the top left of the screen. If any zone in The House is not at 100% yet, the basement stays locked. ViewSIM, 15:00
Once you are inside
- It has two waves. When the first is clean, a second one comes. ViewSIM, 14:18
- Do not look for a vent. The grate on the wall does not take leaves. ViewSIM, 14:24
- Push everything to the bottom of the stairs. Leaves will not go up the stairs. ViewSIM, 14:40
- Pick the pile up by hand and sell it at the bin nearby. Upgrade your hand first so this goes fast. ViewSIM, 15:17
- At 99%, the game picks up the last few leaves for you. ViewSIM, 15:23
Two things that slow you down
- Open doors. Leaves blow through them into rooms you already cleaned. Close doors behind you. ViewSIM, 13:46
- Corners. The leaf blower cannot push leaves out of corners. Grab those by hand. ViewSIM, 7:26
At 100%, a passage opens
