The popular horror-survival game Granny is also one of the most difficult games to beat. The goal of the game is to escape the house alive. To do this, you will need to unlock all the locks on the front door and escape. While you are trying to escape, Granny will be looking for you and listening for any sound you make. If she catches you, she will attack you and you will start a new day in the bedroom on the top floor. You only have 5 days to escape. This wikiHow teaches you how to find all the items you need to beat Granny. Note: Items you need are placed randomly throughout the house. There is no way to know where any item is located when you start a new game. You have to search the house to find them. You may not be able to find the items in the same order they are listed here.
