Camera first, lock the wrong guests, clear the room, then sleep with company. That is how you survive anomalies in Keep the Door Locked on Roblox. Each night is the same pressure: knocks at the door, noises in the room, and a bed that punishes empty rooms.
Follow these rules every night
Front desk hands you keys and a Home Safety Rules pamphlet. Phone tips may stack on that card. Treat the pamphlet as the baseline, then use the laptop and peephole to enforce it.
Core loop every night:
- Hear a knock or a room noise.
- Fix room threats first if something is already inside or outside the window.
- Check the hallway camera, then peek the door.
- Open only for a normal human guest. Lock visual anomalies.
- Sleep only when events are clear, you have a safe roommate, and Sanity is above zero.
Sanity is your mental health bar. Wrong opens, spider blasts, and some events drain it. Hit zero and the night is over.
Never sleep alone. An empty bed wakes the Bathroom Monster. Housing an anomaly and then sleeping is also a bad end. Locking every knock "to be safe" still fails if nobody normal is in the room at sleep time. You need at least one non-anomaly guest before you hit the bed.
Lock these visitors before they get in
When someone knocks, open the laptop CCTV first. The feed shows the visitor's back and the hall around them. Lock right away if you see a knife, wings, a dead body nearby, a see-through body, a doppelganger or dead copy of the guest, spasming limbs, long arms, or a neck craned back at the ceiling.
Then use Peek. Choose Open Door, Lock the Door, or Leave. Leave backs you out so you can recheck cameras without locking in a choice. Twisted heads, swinging arms, and guttural voices are also red flags at the peephole.
| What you see | Action |
|---|---|
| See-through (translucent) guest on camera | Lock the door |
| Living doppelganger slumped beside the guest | Lock the door |
| Dead copy of the guest in the hall or by the stairs | Lock the door |
| Spasming or flailing limbs | Lock the door |
| Very long arms | Lock the door |
| Neck craned back, staring at the ceiling | Lock the door |
| Knife, wings, or a dead body near the visitor | Lock the door |
| Silent Lady: tall, gaunt woman who stares without talking | Look at her on the cameras (the jumpscare is the clear) |
| Headbanger: guest smashes their head on the door | Finish the quick-time prompts to drive them off |
| Cake on a trolley alone | Open and eat it for Sanity (not a trap) |
| Roach King at the door when pizza is in the room | Say yes and lose about five slices; refuse and the swarm hits the room |
Wrong opens drain Sanity and can kill the run. Never house a visual anomaly as a roommate. The same camera-before-open habit shows up in other Roblox anomaly games, including Home Alone anomalies and Animal Hospital anomalies.
Clear room threats before you sleep
Room audio can interrupt the guest queue. Clear threats before you open for more people.
Window Seeker (also called the Window Monster) scratches, knocks, moans, or scuffles outside. Open the curtains and look so it flees. One look resets it, but the threat can come back all night, so keep checking. Ignore it and it can break the window and end the run. Looking may cost a little Sanity, which still beats a game over.
Door Breaker is a gaunt white figure that rushes the door with a hide prompt. Get under the bed and stay there until it leaves. Cameras can catch it moving room to room with a knife before the break-in starts.
- Spiders: Ceiling egg-sac spiders show up on early nights. Step out from under them when they chirp or pop so the blast does not chew Sanity. Do not sleep mid-event while they are still active overhead.
- Shadow Man: Dark figure in a corner. Hold the flashlight on it until it is gone.
- Vent Ghost: Dishevelled figure drops from the vent and crawls. Stand on the bed until it climbs back into the vent.
- The Darkness: Hands cover your eyes and drop you into a void. Follow the lights to a doorway that returns you to the room.
- Room Hider: Figure appears in the room, jumpscares once, then leaves when you look.
- Hacked laptop: Cameras blocked until you pay $300 Cash to decode them.
- Knife Killer day: If a knife man appeared at the door that day, turn the lights off before sleep so he cannot enter.
When the room is quiet, confirm one normal guest is still with you. On a Knife Killer day, lights stay off. Sanity must stay above zero. Only then interact with the bed. The guest leaves after the night, so you will need a new safe roommate the next evening. New anomalies can still appear over time, so trust the camera evidence more than memory alone.
