BEGINNER ANSWERS
What the evidence says. Nothing invented.
These answers separate official facts from current gameplay observations and mark what may change during pre-alpha. Checked October 4, 2026.
01What is the goal of House of The Locust?+
Escape the house through the green EXIT. Solve the puzzle to get the wire cutters, find the Key in a cabinet or drawer, get the keycard, then clear all three locks on the EXIT door.
02What items do I need to open the EXIT?+
Three: the wire cutters, the Key, and the keycard. The door shows a separate prompt for each one that is still missing, such as WireCutter Needed or Key Needed.
03Where is the Key?+
In one of the wooden cabinets or drawers. The exact container changes between runs, so there is no fixed spot to rush to.
04Where is the keycard?+
It depends on the house. In the newer house the keycard is on a table that red floor arrows lead to. In the original house the Locust carries it and you take it from cover.
05Is the Boiled One in the game now?+
Yes. The official Roblox title has been [BOILED ONE] House of The Locust since the update, and the game lists Main Basement places (Easy, Medium, Hard). The Boiled One mode is a basement escape: fuel the generators, then unlock the exit door.
06Which colored cubes do I need?+
In the original house: red, yellow, and blue, each carried to the pad of the same color. The newer house uses a shape-matching puzzle instead of the color pads.
07Can players cooperate?+
Yes. Playthroughs show players splitting the puzzle, the Key search, and the keycard between them. This guide does not claim a fixed maximum party size.
08Why did an item or route behave differently in my run?+
The official listing still says PRE-ALPHA VERSION (expect bugs), and the developer publishes no patch notes. Layouts and item spots can change; trust the prompts in your live server.
