How to Beat Granny

The popular horror-survival game Granny is also one of the most difficult games to beat. The goal of the game is to escape the house alive. To do this, you will need to unlock all the locks on the front door and escape. While you are trying to escape, Granny will be looking for you and listening for any sound you make. If she catches you, she will attack you and you will start a new day in the bedroom on the top floor. You only have 5 days to escape. This How.com.vn teaches you how to find all the items you need to beat Granny. Note: Items you need are placed randomly throughout the house. There is no way to know where any item is located when you start a new game. You have to search the house to find them. You may not be able to find the items in the same order they are listed here.

How do I not get afraid of the Granny jumpscare?
Community Answer
By seeing it a lot. You get used to it. It is the same reason YouTubers are numb to jumpscares from FNAF and Slenderman; they are inured to it. Try the methods in Avoid Getting Too Scared when Playing a Scary Computer Game.

How do you unlock the orange underground room with the red door and the little window? (The one that connects to the underground passage by the playhouse.)

Community Answer
You will need to assemble the shotgun. (Not the crossbow and dart.) Once you get the shotgun, shoot the redlock. With force, it will unlock the door, allowing you to open it.

Be careful when switching items. You will need to drop one item before you can pick up another. This will make noise that can alert Granny to your location.

Avoid killing one of Granny's pets. This makes her mad. Her eyes will glow red and she will always know your location. This condition sticks until you kill her or until the next night.
Keep the vase. It comes in handy as a distraction because you can throw it and Granny will go in the direction of the noise, allowing you to escape.
