Navigate the Hotel by Room Number
Buy the €100 Hotel key and enter the third door on the left, counting from the Playroom entrance, then use the Cleaning Schedule in the Hotel hallway to track its numbered rooms. Clean each room before marking it finished, follow room numbers when the corridor arrangement changes, and use the Scanner followed by Help → Reset Room Balls if a remaining ball is inaccessible.
Unlock the Hotel and Find the Cleaning Schedule
The Hotel key opens the third door on the central Playroom's left side. After unlocking it, the Building Services message introduces the Cleaning Schedule and tells you to track completed rooms by number. Find that schedule in the Hotel hallway before beginning your guest-room checks.
You can unlock the Hotel while loose balls remain in the Office. Once inside, begin with the large groups blocking the main passages so the numbered doors are easier to reach. Move into the guest rooms after those corridors are manageable.
Hotel Navigation and Cleanup Checklist
| Landmark or Check | Action and Result |
|---|---|
| Hotel key purchase | Earn enough money and purchase the €100 Hotel key to unlock access to the area. |
| Left side of the central Playroom | Enter the third door on the left, counting from the Playroom entrance, to reach the Hotel. |
| Hallway Cleaning Schedule | Read the numbered entries to identify the guest rooms you still need to clean. |
| Guest-room number plate | Read the plate before entering and match it to an unfinished number on your Cleaning Schedule. |
| Balls inside the numbered room | Collect the room's balls and deliver them to the pit, then check for anything left behind. |
| Completed room's tracking mark | Mark the finished number on the schedule, or interact with its number plate to add a red strikethrough that stays associated with the room. |
| Room search on a later day | Follow the door numbers and your completed-room checklist when room positions change, checking the route afresh during that shift. |
| Scanner marker for remaining balls | Scan for leftovers, try suitable collection equipment around the marked position, and use Pause → Help → Reset Room Balls inside the Hotel if necessary. |
Clean and Mark Each Guest Room
- Choose an unmarked number from the hallway Cleaning Schedule to give your next room search a clear destination.
- Find the matching number plate on a Hotel door to identify the room before entering.
- Collect the balls inside that numbered room, giving its remaining piles the attention they need before moving elsewhere.
- Deliver the collected balls to the pit to complete that part of the collection work.
- Inspect the room's accessible surfaces and edges for leftovers, including any unusual orientations or openings you encounter.
- Mark the completed room number on the Cleaning Schedule, or use its number plate to add the associated red strikethrough.
- Select the next unfinished room from the schedule to continue your cleanup without repeatedly checking completed rooms.
Treat a mark as your record of finished work. Crossing out a number does not collect balls, and a room that looks empty can still contain a missed ball. If you marked a room too early, correct your tracking and revisit it.
Recover Your Place When Corridors Change
Hotel rooms change position between working days, so read the number plates again when you return. A familiar room number can appear along a different corridor, and your completed-room record remains the useful way to identify unfinished work. The Cleaning Schedule lists rooms to check; its layout does not show how the hallways connect.
If you stop partway through a room, note its number and what still needs attention. Keep that note separate from your completed-room marks so a brief visit does not become a false finish. During the current shift, keep enough track of your route to return to the starting room before the lights go out.
Recover Missed or Inaccessible Hotel Balls
- Use the Scanner inside the Hotel to mark remaining unstored balls and narrow your search to their positions.
- Inspect the area around a marker, checking beds, corners, room edges, and unusual surfaces for an overlooked ball.
- Try a broom or deployable Ball Vacuum around furniture near the marked position to attempt collection with suitable equipment.
- Choose Pause → Help → Reset Room Balls while inside the Hotel if the ball remains outside the reachable area.
- Scan the affected room again after resetting to check the ball's current position and whether you can reach it.
Reset Room Balls and Unstuck are separate menu options. For an inaccessible ball, use the ball-reset option and inspect the result before trying it again. If the ball is still unreachable, change your collection approach instead of repeatedly resetting.
A Vacuum Robot near a reachable part of the affected room is another recovery method to try. A completed player run recovered apparently stuck Hotel balls after robots were left in the affected areas and play continued into the next working day. Results can vary, so check the remaining count after trying it.
Confirm the Hotel Is Completely Clean
Check the Hotel progress display for All clean! after clearing its remaining unstored balls. Clean Hotel requires complete Hotel cleanup, so a full ball pit or a fully marked schedule alone does not satisfy that goal. Use the display to check your result after the final collection pass.
Keep Sparrow pickups separate from the Cleaning Schedule as well. Crossing out a room records ball-cleaning work, while birds require their own Collect interaction. You can reach the normal ending without earning Clean Hotel if your immediate goal is to finish the main route.
