Home Alone (Anomaly) How to Identify All Visitors
Step-by-step anomaly identification for every Home Alone (Anomaly) knock on Roblox.
Identification is the skill Home Alone (Anomaly) on Roblox actually grades. Cosmetics and shop upgrades help comfort, but Sanity only cares whether you admit anomalies or reject safe visitors. This guide gives a decision tree you can run on every knock, then points to specialist pages for evidence channels and the all anomalies list for memorization.
Step 0: Name the knock
Listen to dialogue and model cues. Map the visitor to an archetype — Police Man, Cat Lady, Streamer, etc. If you recognize Vampire, skip to Step 5 reject immediately (Vampire guide).
Step 1: Run the job-linked house check
If the visitor implies a job or location story, check objects first:
- Firefighter → oven smoke (house checks)
- Plumber → bath leak
- City Maintenance → brown sink water
- Dog Owner → backyard dog
Missing expected object = strong anomaly bias.
Step 2: Outside and vehicle pass
Move to peephole/exterior cam:
- Police Man → police car vs beat-up van
- Streamer → giant phone prop present?
Outside channel details: voice and outside tells.
Step 3: CCTV standard feed
On laptop, check door + relevant room:
- Dumped Girl staring smile
- Ballerina dancing on cam
- Obby Player car smash
- Homeless Man invisible on feeds
Step 4: Night vision pass
Toggle NV on door/interior when human shape matters:
- New Neighbour face on glass
- Secret Agent alien silhouette
- Lost Girl giant scale
- Guy Who Needs To Pee tall silhouette
- Sleepy Woman head snap
Full NV list: camera night vision.
Step 5: Voice listen
Before opening door:
- Classmate demonic flip
- Party Girl echo melody
- Gym Bro high pitch
- Wifi Kid shutter glitch on cam audio
Step 6: Porch light commit
- Two+ channels agree safe → light ON, admit.
- Any strong anomaly tell → light OFF, reject.
- Ambiguous → favor reject only when anomaly evidence is concrete; Next Door Neighbour needs extra care — wrong reject breaks CCTV.
Mechanics: protect Sanity.
Step 7: Post-decision reset
Return to chore loop or cam rotation within 3 seconds. Do not celebrate or tilt — next knock may overlap.
Quick reference table mindset
Group visitors by primary channel to study:
Object-first: Firefighter, Plumber, City Maintenance, Dog Owner.
Outside-first: Police Man, Streamer.
NV-first: New Neighbour, Secret Agent, Lost Girl, Guy Who Needs To Pee, Sleepy Woman.
Voice-first: Classmate, Party Girl, Gym Bro.
Cam behavior: Dumped Girl, Ballerina, Obby Player, Homeless Man, Wifi Kid.
Special: Vampire always reject; Goblin Stalker ignore.

Practice plan
Night 1–3: object + outside tells only.
Night 4–6: add night vision set.
Night 7+: full tree under time pressure with full night walkthrough.
Ambiguous knock protocol
Some visitors — Old Man, Drunk Girl, parts of Next Door Neighbour stories — lack community consensus on a single tell. When archetype is recognized but evidence conflicts:
- Never reject Neighbour on vibe alone — verify NV face or cam agreement first.
- Require three agreeing safe channels before admit if Sanity is below 70.
- Use anomaly identifier tool to narrow possibilities, then re-check one physical channel.
- Log outcome after the night for personal notes — patches can shift weak tells.
Paranoia rejects hurt as much as careless admits. Both drain Sanity from 100.
Speed identification without skipping steps
Veterans still run the full tree — they just execute faster:
- Vampire: 0 seconds, porch OFF.
- Police Man / Streamer: 5 seconds outside channel only.
- Firefighter / Plumber: 4 seconds object cam, no NV.
- Human mystery: 8 seconds door standard + NV minimum.
Drill those four buckets separately before combining in full night walkthrough.

Patch maintenance
Revisit Step order after updates. Update 2 shifted chore timing but not porch light rules. For ambiguous Old Man knocks, require a third confirming channel before admit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for surviving the night in Home Alone (Anomaly).
What is the best order to check anomaly tells?
House objects, outside vehicles/props, standard CCTV, night vision, then voice before porch light.
How many channels should agree before admitting?
Aim for two agreeing safe signals when possible; strong single anomaly tells can justify reject.
Which visitor skips identification steps?
Vampire is always rejected immediately without hunting extra tells.
What makes Next Door Neighbour special?
Usually safe, but rejecting a safe neighbour can smash CCTV — verify before reject.
Where is the full tell list?
See the all anomalies page for every visitor safe vs anomaly signal.
