Chores are the daytime half of Home Alone: the task list you clear around the house while the doorbell decides whether the night gets weird. Each chore starts at a specific object and follows fixed steps, so a night's speed comes from knowing where everything lives before you touch it.

Bedrooms
The upstairs circuit that closes out the list.

- How to complete

Working the list efficiently
Chores cluster by area, and the fastest runs sweep one area completely before crossing the house. Kitchen tasks chain naturally since their objects sit within reach of each other, while whole-house cleaning rewards a single lap with everything gathered on the way. Bedroom jobs finish the circuit upstairs.
- Learn the start objects; hunting for the coffee packet costs more time than brewing it.
- Minigame chores like coffee use timing bars; steady inputs beat mashing.
- Chores between door calls are free time, so bank the far-flung ones for quiet stretches and keep a near-door task ready for busy nights.
FAQ
Do chores matter in Home Alone?
Yes, they are the objective layer of each night. Finishing the list keeps the run progressing while the door visits provide the danger.
Where do chores start?
Each one begins at a fixed object, like the coffee packet on the kitchen island. The start object line on each card is the answer to most wasted minutes.
Can chores be done in any order?
Yes. Grouping them by area and clearing one zone at a time is the fastest pattern.
