Gone Home walkthrough route: porch, basement, greenhouse and attic
Follow the important access chain while leaving time to read the house.
Edition covered
The original Gone Home story with the updated PC release’s commentary and achievement features. Route and code pages contain puzzle spoilers; the family guide discusses relationships without quoting the final journal.
The key chain through the house
Begin at the porch, explore the main floors, open Sam’s locker and use its basement key. The basement leads into the next accessible wing and ultimately the final attic route.
| Stage | Required discovery | Next destination |
|---|---|---|
| Porch | Key beneath Christmas duck | Front hall |
| Upper rooms and secret compartments | Sam’s combination, 0501 | Her locker |
| Sam’s locker | Basement key | Locked basement door |
| Later wing and greenhouse route | Attic access information and key | Return upstairs to the attic |
Use the hidden-passage sketches
The sewing-room sketch and the maps discovered beyond it identify panels that are easy to overlook. Check the updated map instead of tapping every wall indiscriminately.
| Navigation aid | Found or used near | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| House map | Exploration interface | Tracks room names and layout |
| Sewing-room sketch | Upstairs work room | Reveals a concealed connecting passage |
| Secret-compartment map | Inside the hidden passage | Marks concealed evidence caches |
| Story notes | Newly opened rooms | Explain where Sam’s trail continues |
Continue beyond the basement
Explore the passage onward and the newly reachable household spaces, including the greenhouse route. Read the notes that point back toward the attic before retracing the upstairs halls.
Pause before the final attic sequence
The attic delivers the conclusion. If you want the family’s broader story, inspect the office, bedrooms and basement evidence before committing to that last stretch.
