Seasons Greetings, friends!<\/p>\n

For any new home invaders in our midst, Secret Neighbor <\/a><\/em><\/strong>is an online multiplayer social horror game where the goal is to work together with other players to get into your suspicious neighbor’s basement. This isn\u2019t just any senseless breaking and entering though, he\u2019s hiding something and it\u2019s up to you and the other kids to find out what. There\u2019s only one problem, one of your friends is the neighbor in disguise…<\/p>\n

With the most festive of holiday seasons just around the corner we\u2019ve got some special surprises to drop under the tree, and you won\u2019t even have to wait until Christmas day to unwrap them! So let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Secret<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Do you want to build a snowman? <\/strong>\u2744\ufe0f<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing better than waking up to a snow day, and it looks like Raven Brooks has gotten its first snow of the year! In this winter update you\u2019ll find the spooky decor swapped for something with a little more holiday cheer. The halls are decked, the gifts are wrapped with care, and you can deck someone with carefully wrapped gifts… wait.<\/p>\n

Possible personal injury cases aside, we invite you to engage in more chilly shenanigans by building a snowman. You can create up to four sizes of snowballs, and can use these to build your own snow-army… or you can throw them into the faces of the nearest unsuspecting player. Your call.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Secret<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking of throwing, what\u2019s a holiday season without snowball fights with your friends? So grab a couple of snowballs and send \u2018em flying! Just be sure to hop back indoors and warm up every so often.<\/p>\n

No we didn\u2019t get you a pony<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snowballs and snowmen are cool, but they aren\u2019t the star on top of the tree. We have a special present for all our OG Hello Neighbor <\/em>fans and lore hounds this year and it comes in the form of a new map! The new map is based on the neighbor\u2019s house from Act 1 of Hello Neighbor<\/em> and… the basement is open?!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\"Secret<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We know you\u2019ve always wondered what is actually in the basement, and now you can see for yourself! Explore the Peterson house and creep through the basement for more clues. But just because you\u2019ve made it to the basement doesn\u2019t mean the story is over. If you know what you\u2019re looking for it may help to shed some light on the neighbor, Nicky\u2019s disappearance, and the bigger mystery of what is going on in Raven Brooks. But be careful that you don\u2019t wind up with more questions than answers.<\/p>\n

Bundle up boys and girls!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course with every holiday update there are plenty of new cosmetics to nab. This year we\u2019re bringing double denim back, and we\u2019re not in the least bit sorry. You can find a set of denim digs for every kid class, as well as a few new standalone outfits for them. The new Butcher Neighbor class also gets a bit spoiled this update with a couple of new outfits!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Secret<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We\u2019ve got lots to unwrap this holiday season so keep a sharp eye out, stay warm, and we hope you enjoy the new Secret Neighbor Winter update!<\/p>\n
