Leaving Home is a game by Bart Bonte released in June 2025. Approximate play time of 20-30 minutes.

Walkthrough

Bedroom

1. Open the curtains
2. Unplug the alarm cord, and plug in the other cord for the lamp
3. Collect clothing items:
   • Underwear: on the floor
   • Pants: in top drawer of dresser
   • Socks: second drawer of dresser, under bed pillow
   • Shirt: hanging next to door
   • Shoes: under bed blanket, in cube storage above bed (sliding square doors away)

First Hallway

1. Match the rug pattern to the floor chevrons by rotating the pieces.

Bathroom

1. Look in the mirror and arrange the face, revealing a wavy diagonal background pattern
2. On the makeup cabinet doors, recreate the diagonal wavy pattern by rotating the tiles
3. Collect the sunglasses and go to the mirror, tap on the glasses to see patterns in each lens
4. Recreate the left and right lens patterns on the left and right picture frames on either side of the mirror

Stairs

1. Head down the stairs to the first landing, tap the upper left tile to begin. Tap the next tile by heading in the direction of the paws with the number of steps of the amount of paws in the tile.
2. Head down the stairs to the second landing, tap the upper left tile to begin. Tap the next tile by looking in the direction of the dots (horizontal or vertical) and moving the same number of tiles away as dots.
3. Head down the stairs to the third landing, tap the upper left tile to begin. The first digit describes the horizontal distance to the next tile, and the second digit describes the vertical (x,y). Direction is not specified, it must be deduced by the borders of the board and already highlighted tiles. For example, 11 could mean any of the 4 diagonal corner tiles given an empty board, but white tiles will not be selected again.

Kitchen

1. Notice the table cloth pattern and replicate it on the wall painting, i.e. create red and pink diamonds. The first cabinet will open.
2. Notice the color order of the chairs - red, white, black - and replicate this with the bowls by stacking and unstacking them. The second cabinet will open.
3. Organize the teacups and saucers by color by stacking and unstacking them. The third cabinet will open.
4. Notice the birds-eye view of mugs on the front of the fridge, replicate this pattern with the mugs in the cabinet. The first drawer will then open.
5. Get a fork from the first drawer, get a knife from the second drawer, and a plate from the third.
6. Get a glass cup from the lower cabinet and fill it with orange juice from the fridge. Also place a coffee cup under the machine and run the machine.
7. Put a slice of bread in the toaster and turn it on. It will fly out and fly off screen without the coffee and juice. Tap the purple spread from the fridge and finally eat the breakfast.

Second Hallway

1. Match the rug to the floor pattern by rotating the pieces.

Living Room

1. Slide across the dice squares of the TV cabinet, add up the number of dots in each position when the empty space is visible (total of three positions, three layers each, first find the back). This gives the code: 1+4+3 = 8 , 2+3+1=6, 3+2+4=9 (869). Input this code to the locked chest.
2. The map icons correspond to the picture frames in each of the previous rooms:
   • Mountain: Bedroom
   • Trees: First Hallway
   • Stars: Bathroom
   • Cat: Stairs
   • Orange: Kitchen
   • Owl: Second Hallway
   • Cactus: Living Room
3. In the locked drawer, input the pathway to from the mountain, through all previous rooms, to the current room (cactus). This will be: RURDDLLLU
4. Turn on the TV by pressing the red button on the remote. The squares of shades of red on the top right of the remote indicate to use the numbers on the TV cabinet doors again. Input 123, 432, 314. Replicate the flower pattern on channel 432 with the tiles on channel 314.
5. The code 1213 will appear on the TV, make the code with the doors of the TV cabinet. The black ball will drop from the center of the flower into the TV cabinet in the third position. Give the ball to the cat.
   

Entry way

For all four frames on the wall, each will lead to replicating a pattern on the rug. The frames can be completed in any order.

1. Notice the alarm clock design in the first frame. Go all the way back to the bedroom, unplug the lamp and plug back in the alarm clock. The time says 8:15. Go to the laundry section near the stairs. Open the two washing machines and set the first to the 8th hour position on a clock, and the second machine to the 15 minute position.
2. The second frame resembles a mirror. Go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. A pattern of three sized pink dots appear, in the order of SLMSLSMLS where the small (S) corresponds to the flush of the toilet, the medium (M) to the bin lid, and large (L) to the toilet lid. Press these in the listed order.
3. The third frame has stacked bowls with black on the bottom, then red, then white. Go to the kitchen and replicate this with the bowls, putting the stack in the middle position.
4. Look at the fourth frame with code 242. Go to the Living Room and go to channel 242 on the TV, revealing a spiraled arrow. Follow the directions from the start to the end of the arrow, inputting them into the arrow keys on the drawer (LDRRUULLDDRRUR).

Finally the door will open.
