Keep the Door Locked Visitors and Door Decisions

Visitors need context

In Keep the Door Locked, a person or event at the door is part of the survival decision, not a collectible label. The official information identifies a strange grandma, a kindness reward visitor, pizza rat with a baseball bat, the Dream Room, and Juan and dog easter eggs. These facts make each encounter worth recognizing, but they do not create a universal instruction to open, ignore, or trust the door. Watch the cameras, follow the current rules, and assess the room before turning a name into an action.

The visitor trust ranking compares the decision pressure of the known encounters. Use it after learning the basics, not as a replacement for them. A memorable visitor may be tied to a reward or progression, yet the room can still contain a staged window anomaly, a toilet anomaly, a room hider, a door breaker, or a shadow figure. The all anomalies guide is therefore an important companion page.

Strange grandma and Ending 3

The strange grandma is connected to the key for Ending 3. That is a confirmed progression clue and the reason many players will look for her. It does not prove every grandma encounter has the same conditions, nor does it prove that every other rule can be ignored in pursuit of the key. Record confirmed progress in the ending tracker and keep the door decision tied to what the current camera and room state show.

Kindness, pizza rat, and caution

The kindness reward visitor establishes that a positive door decision can matter, but it does not establish a repeatable unconditional opening rule. Treat the encounter as a loop: identify the visitor and current room state, follow the active rules, make only the decision supported by the evidence, then record whether a reward or badge was actually confirmed. Re-checking that context on later runs is more useful than turning a single successful interaction into a universal instruction.

Pizza rat is also a known encounter and is associated with a baseball bat. That lead is worth recording because it connects a visitor, a visible object, and the Rat Buster badge, but it still does not reveal an exact trigger or outcome. Use the hidden badges guide to separate confirmed discoveries from unverified theories, and write the visual and situational details in your anomaly checklist. Do not invent outcomes that official information does not establish.

Dream Room and easter eggs

The Dream Room is a known part of the game, while Juan and the dog are known easter eggs. Treat these as discoveries to recognize, not as guaranteed routes. The badge tracker includes the official Juan, What the Dog Doin’, and The Dream Room badge names, but badges are records of achievements rather than full instructions. Mark them when earned and avoid presenting their titles as verified trigger conditions.

A safe decision framework

Before acting on a visitor, check the camera and sweep the room. Compare the window with its earlier state, check familiar fixtures, and look for a hider or shadow figure. Consider whether the door itself is under pressure from a door breaker. Then use the active rules and the evidence in front of you. This takes longer than guessing from a name, but it protects sanity, supports survival toward the Blood Money goal, and makes later notes useful.

For first-run fundamentals, read hotel survival basics. For the five confirmed threats, use the Anomalies Hub. For the three known end goals—10 days, golden skeleton, and grandma key—use the ending tracker. Visitors are most useful when they make you observe more carefully, not when they make you stop observing.
