Hey everyone!

The days are long, the nights are warm, and we are excited to announce that the Golden Apple Amusement Park Update is officially live on Steam! This update includes a brand-new map, graphical updates, emotes, trophies and much more! Check out the latest episode of Secret Neighborhood News for a comprehensive overview and first look!


Map #5 is here!

Take a trip outside the Neighborhood and explore the (in)famous abandoned Amusement Park in a brand new map! Can you uncover the mysteries of the now-defunct funfair from Mr. Peterson’s past, or will tragedy strike again? Remember, your foe will stop at nothing to keep you and your friends from discovering the truth!

With a largely open-air environment, upon entry you will note that our 5th map it is vastly different from previous maps in both looks and layout. It also will sport a 4th keycard door, so keep a sharp eye out! Aside from layout and location, this map sports a few other new features as well:
  • In a nod to the original Hello Neighbor (as well as a longstanding community request) tomato plants are making their debut on map #5! Snag one in passing and hurl it into the eyes of your attacker to thwart their advance! 🍅
  • Lost your flashlight or need a last minute powerup? New vending machines could give you an edge over your enemy when you need it most. 🧃


New Skins + Emotes!



Stop by the Shop to select a fresh fit with a roster of new skins! The circus may have shut its doors, but you’ll still see lions in the big top with The Neighbor’s new skin!

While you’re there, check out the new Emotion section and snag one of three new Neighbor Emotes to inflict a little psychological damage on your foes. - The emote wheel is now also customizable!



New tutorial and trophy room

Brush up on the basics with a brand new Tutorial mode, accessible via the main lobby. Get a hands-on overview of in-game items & how to use them or play through a brief single-player tutorial + character-specific challenges that let you learn a new class on the fly!

Earn and display your achievements in the brand new Trophy room - a new section available via the lobby. Currently, there are three interactable trophies - obtainable via completing easter eggs!



Overall ambiance update

Almost every source of light has been revamped, and you may find flashlights are now more important than ever, lest your foe sneak up on you in the darkness! It’s not just lighting that's gotten an upgrade though, as new partially interactable vegetation and particle systems now lend to the overall ambiance.

The Match End screen has also been updated to more accurately reflect the excitement of winning a match...or the despair of losing one.



Secret Neighbor Map contest!

Have you built an awesome map in the Level Editor? Want to potentially have it featured in the game? Our Level Editor map contest deadline is August 15th! Check out the rules in the gif below, and submit in our discord server before the deadline, Halloween decorations are not required but are highly encouraged.

Hey everyone!

While we're cooking up some news regarding the Secret Neighbor Summer update to share with you soon, we wanted to share an amazing milestone that we've recently hit - 1 million players on iOS!

Stay tuned for the news on the Summer update!

Hi there Neighbors!

We are so excited to announce that Secret Neighbor is now available on iOS devices worldwide, and you can play it for free!

As this is our first time bringing the game to mobile there are some key differences between this and previous versions, and there are a few different ways to play so let’s jump into it and see which one suits you the best!

Secret Neighbor iOS is free to download + play!

Secret Neighbor is free to download and play on iOS! From the start, only Bagger and Scary Neighbor classes are available, while all the other classes are unlockable through gameplay.

Coupons & Coins

Everyone loves to express themselves, and what better way to do it than with a fire fit? Get access to our newest accessories and premium cosmetics with Arcade Coupons!

Arcade Coupons are a recently introduced form of hard currency in Secret Neighbor and have taken the place of cash purchases. You are able to purchase Arcade Coupons in four different quantities and they are used to buy the fanciest costumes! Additionally, Secret Neighbor has daily quests that award you coupons just for playing!

Coins are collected through gameplay - these are then used to unlock additional player and Neighbor classes, as well as to buy costumes. Unlocking all the classes with coins is definitely possible, but it does take some dedication, so make sure you do some research on the class you’re about to unlock - we recommend our TinyTips series on YouTube for that!
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4nWU0IcZ3kjxhZ53NTosIpTEKwBUIRb7

Secret Club Subscription

And, of course, there’s the all new, mobile only Secret Club subscription. Joining the Secret Club instantly unlocks all the classes for you, gives you an additional daily quest, and grants you a 4X daily coupon multiplier boost! There will also be additional perks rolled out to Secret Club members later on in the club’s lifetime as well.

Time for math:

$3 - monthly subscription cost
$2 - monthly subscription cost if you purchase a 6 months subscription for $12

240 - maximum amount of coupons earned in a month (without the subscription)
1200 - maximum amount of coupons earned in a month (with the subscription). Or, if you were to purchase coupons directly, that’s $8 worth of coupons!


And that’s all on top of access to all the classes in the game!

We hope this breakdown helped you figure out the best way to play Secret Neighbor iOS for you!



We’re so excited to bring Secret Neighbor to yet another new platform this year and can’t wait to see you and your friends in the game!

Catch you later!

Hey everyone!

Today we're bringing you some exciting updates to the Level Editor, as well as share our plans for the rest of the year! Let's get started.

Level Editor Updates



In 2020 we’ve had some amazing maps created by our community in the Level Editor. 2021 is the year when we start transforming it into something more - Game Mode Editor. We’ll start relatively small - you’ll be able to choose between pre-made rules presets. In this update, you already have a game mode selector with all the brawls available.

Next step - you’ll be able to create your own rules from scratch, which means the possibility will be endless. And, of course, we’ll continue working on the Level Editor, giving more tools to our creators.

Check out the whole changelog for the Level Editor below.

New Costumes



Of course, this wouldn't be a Secret Neighbor update without some new costumes! Oh, and we hope you're enjoying the new coupon system - let us know in the comments how you'd want to see it evolve.

The 2021 Roadmap

We've already changed the game quite a bit this year - we've added a lot of quality of life improvements, implemented daily quests, added brawl mode rotation - but there's a lot more to come! Check out the roadmap video:



And, finally, here are the full patch notes for this update:

Version 1.3.5.2-PS

  • New customizations

Level Editor

Hi there!

We’ve just wrapped up The Hello Neighbor Showcase, our online direct event outlining the many new and exciting updates to come throughout the Hello Neighbor Franchise. In case you missed the event let’s go over what you can look forward to in the coming months!


Secret Neighbor is sneaking onto a platform near you!



It’s been hard to keep this secret locked up but it’s escaped the basement and finally, we can share it.

We’re excited to announce that Secret Neighbor will be coming to PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and iOS! Pre orders for Secret Neighbor on PlayStation will open on March 30th. The full game release for PlayStation and iOS will be April 29th, and release plans for Secret Neighbor on Switch will be announced later this Summer. Another important update, our PlayStation and iOS versions will be cross-play compatible!

In addition to this, we are working hard to provide all platforms a parity of content and synchronized updates in the future and will keep you updated on our progression towards this goal. Our 2021 Secret Neighbor Development Roadmap will also be on its way to you in the coming weeks, so keep a sharp eye out for even more updates very soon!

Hello Neighbor 2 - The AI takeover



Hello Neighbor 2 is nearing its crucial development stage and we are working hard on Alpha 2. There have been some big updates to the AI. Mr. Peterson is now even more capable of learning from previous player behavior in order to plan new ways to thwart you from learning his dark secrets.

But not just Mr. Peterson, every character you encounter in Hello Neighbor 2 will share the same AI core...though their motivations and stories may differ.

Hello Engineer - Full steam ahead

Hello Engineer Beta Testing is currently in progress and we will be sharing more exciting news on its development soon. In the meantime, check out some fun gifs!







The Guest is back and he’s...huggable?



In partnership with our friends at Snap Creative, we are very excited to bring you The Guest Musical Plush!

He is poseable, with wired limbs and a swivel head. And he has not one but two music boxes! Press his belly to play music, or press his bag for a surprise!

He is made from soft cotton fabrics and approximately 10.5” tall. Pre-orders are now open and the estimated delivery of this cuddly menace is September 2021.

Pre-Order your own Guest now!

Hello Neighbor is getting some TLC

And last but not least, over the past few months we’ve been working behind the scenes to update and improve Hello Neighbor mobile version performance and gameplay and will continue to make some additional updates moving forward.

Hello everyone!

We know you’re waiting anxiously for news on our Hello Neighbor Showcase, so we thought we’d give you a little something (or a lotta something) to pass the time until then. We’ve got some rather big updates to share with you and I’m excited to go over them so let’s jump right in and unpack what we have for you today!

All new daily quests!



This has been highly requested by the community for some time now, and we are so excited to bring you the first iteration of the brand new Daily Quest system in this update!

On login, you will find a new Daily Quest section in the lobby. There will be three quests available per day, with new quests available every 24 hours. You will encounter two player-oriented tasks and one Neighbor quest per 24 hour period, and Daily quests are available to complete in Quick Play matches.

Limited time crossover event!



Starting today Secret Neighbor and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are collaborating on a special crossover event to celebrate Totally Reliable Delivery Service's upcoming launch on Steam! Today through April 1st, on login you will be able to claim your free Totally Reliable Scary Neighbor skin from the Item Shop. And starting April 1st don't forget to grab your Neighbor themed event skin in the Totally Reliable shop! But act quickly, like a package with rush shipping they won’t be here for long!

Introducing Arcade Coupons + Shop revamp!



Arcade Coupons are a brand new form of hard currency making their debut in Secret Neighbor and will be taking the place of cash purchases. Moving forward you will be able to purchase Arcade Coupons in four different quantities and apply these towards the purchase of premium cosmetic items!

Broken down, it now costs slightly less to purchase the same skins with coupons as it did previously in dollars. And with this update users will also note that the new Daily Quest system will also award Coupons for select quests as well!

Arcade coupons can be purchased in the following sizes:
  • A Bundle of coupons: Qty 135 - Price $0.99
  • A Pile of coupons: Qty 742 - Cost $4.99
  • A Roll of coupons: Qty 1620 Price $9.99
  • A Stack of coupons: Qty 3510 - Cost $19.99



With the introduction of this new currency also comes a redesigned shop. Another highly requested feature has been item previews. In the new Shop you can absolutely try-before-you-buy, and each item has a handy icon on the top right designating which class it can be purchased for.

The shop itself has received a renovation as well with two new sections, you will find a catalogue for both seasonal and standard cosmetic items!

Three new Brawl modes!!!

Brand new Brawl modes will be making their way to you starting today! Brawl modes will reset weekly and be available on a rotating basis. They will also of course be available in both Custom Lobbies and Quick Play. So what can you expect from these new game modes? Check it out!

Prop Hunt



Introducing Prop Hunt! One player per round will spawn as the Clown Neighbor in disguise, all other players are armed with slingshots. Bathtubs are located throughout the map, if activated by the Clown this will cut the match time by 2 minutes.
  • As The Neighbor, it’s up to you to pull out all your sneakiest plays, stay hidden, and locate as many bathtubs as possible. You are outfitted with a new wheel of transformations to help you stay out of sight!
  • As the players, it is up to you to ferret out The Neighbor wherever he is hiding and keep him from activating bathtubs. If the clock reaches zero and Prop Neighbor is still in the match, Neighbor wins!

Rifle TvT Match



This is a Team versus Team match in which each player is outfitted with a toy rifle. Each toy rifle has infinite ammo and reloads automatically, damage-wise it is still one shot and you’re down.

If you or your teammate is hit you may be revived within a limited window of time. Just watch your six and be careful that you don’t meet the same fate as the person you’re trying to save!

There are several rounds in a match, and a round ends when one team completely knocks out the other. The match itself ends when the clock reaches zero, the team with the most points wins!

Slingshot wars



Our very first brawl mode is back with a springtime update! We’ve traded snowballs for slingshots and added a few new hidey-holes around the map. While you won’t find ammo just lying on the ground anymore there are multiple stations to refill your projectile weapons throughout the map on both sides.

If enough damage occurs a player will respawn in their respective team’s base, and the round will end when either the clock hits zero or a team reaches 20 points. If the clock runs out the team with the most points will be awarded the victory!

New player reporting system!
  • You now have the ability to send player reports in-game.
  • You may make up to five reports a day
  • You cannot report yourself

Balance changes
  • Scary Neighbor: reduced the number of hits taken for Rage activation from 6 to 5. Increased Bear Trap duration from 12 to 15 seconds
  • Clown Neighbor: reduced slow from Smoke Bomb from 0.5 to 0.75
  • Butcher Neighbor: reduced Meat Hook cooldown from 10 to 7 seconds
  • When playing as the Neighbor, you can now see keycard doors and their status on your radar. Whenever someone opens a keycard door it's also highlighted for the Neighbor
  • Clown Neighbor can now Camouflage into any object, as well as turn into another object while in Camouflage
  • Brave's Counter-Strike is now reset after being caught in any scenario
  • Leader's time to charge Team Work reduced from 12 minutes to 8

Other general updates:
  • New End User License agreement screen with Terms of Service on login.
    Note! Terms of service must be accepted to continue to lobby.
  • Daily Quests are not available for players with an active penalty.
  • Level Editor - general performance updates
  • Snow has been removed from all maps, goodbye frosty! ☃

If you'd prefer your updates in video format, check our the newest episode of Secret Neighborhood News for a brief review of all the new goodies in this update...and perhaps a small sneak peek at what we'll have to share with you during the Hello Neighbor Showcase!


And that about wraps it up! Thanks for sticking with me and stay tuned for even more news on what's coming next in the Hello Neighbor Universe, coming soon! As always if you didn't get the update automatically, please restart your Steam client.
