All Home Alone Anomalies
Below, we've listed every single Anomaly in Home Alone. Feel free to use the links below to jump down to whichever Anomaly you’re struggling to identify.
How do Anomalies work in Home Alone?
An extra tip from Callum
If you're just starting out, the basic crux of Home Alone is simple. We'll need to raise a whopping $180 by completing jobs around the house and answering the door to random people skulking around the neighbourhood. However, a lot of these "people" aren't people, they're Anomalies in disguise.

Letting in an Anomaly will lower your Sanity meter, and if it hits 0, it's game over. If you think the visitor is an Anomaly, you'll need to turn the porch light off via the switch to the right of the front door. If you think they're authentic, open the door and continue your interaction. As for how to identify them, you'll need to verify details of their stories, listen to their voices, and use the cameras on the laptop in the front room to check for weird oddities.
From my experimentation, it seems as though every visitor that arrives at your crib has both an Anomalous form and a real form, meaning you're going to have to investigate each and every single one to find certain clues that prove they're truly who they say they are.

Police Man
| |
|---|
| Appearance | Tall man in a police uniform. |
| Request | Come inside the house to check for a roaming criminal. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | If you see a police car parked up in front of the house, then the police man is authentic. If there's a beat-up van instead, you're dealing with an Anomaly. |
Cat Lady
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A girl with black hair and a cropped tee. |
| Request | To retrieve her missing black cat from your parent's bedroom. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | Before answering the door, search your parents' bedroom. You'll spot a cat directly next to the bed. Remember that the cat lady specifically said her cat was black, so if the cat's white, she's an Anomaly. If the cat is black, she's safe. Answer the door and bring it back to her. |
New Neighbour
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A very tall man in a shirt and tie. |
| Request | To meet you, as he's your new neighbour. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | Check the cameras. If you turn on night vision and he has his face pressed up against the screen, he's an Anomaly. If he remains normal, he's safe. |
Classmate
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A child with red hair, glasses and a chequered shirt. |
| Request | To work on homework together. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | If you start to hear the kid's voice flitting between normal and a gravelly demonic voice, he's an Anomaly. If he keeps a consistent tone throughout, he's safe. |
Guy Who Needs To Pee
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A man with a hoodie, clutching his stomach. |
| Request | To use your bathroom. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | If you look through the cameras and, upon turning on night vision, see that the visitor is taller, he's an Anomaly. Otherwise, he's safe. |
Dumped Girl
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A crying woman in a black jacket and camo pants. |
| Request | To get tissues to wipe her tears. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | If you turn on the cameras and she's smiling, staring directly at you, she's an Anomaly. Otherwise, she's safe! |
Streamer
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A child wearing a video game shirt, Adidas trackies and very shiny white crocs. |
| Request | To feature you on his livestream. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | Look in the streamer's hand. If he's holding up an absolutely giant iPhone, he's just your bogstandard IRL streamer. If he has no phone, my guy's an Anomaly. That's minus aura. |
Vampire
| |
|---|
| Appearance | Tall man with pale skin and a flared collar. |
| Request | To be invited inside. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | I've yet to see a non-Anomalous version of this, so I'll go out on a limb and just say, yeah, don't let the vampire in. |
Firefighter
| |
|---|
| Appearance | Tall man in a firefighter's outfit. |
| Request | To put out a fire starting in your oven. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | The Firefighter will always approach claiming that there's smoke coming from your oven. Check the oven. If there's smoke billowing out from it, he's authentic. If there's none, he's an Anomaly. |
Plumber
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A man with a moustache in a black shirt, holding a red toolbox. |
| Request | To fix the faucet. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | The plumber will tell you he's had a request to fix a leaky bath faucet. Check your bath faucet. If it's leaking water, let him inside. Otherwise, he's an Anomaly. |
City Maintenance
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A man in overalls and a hard hat. |
| Request | To fix the water that's turned brown. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | The City Maintenance worker will tell you the water should be brown by now. Check the sink. If the running water is brown, he's legit. If there's no water at all, he's an Anomaly. |
Homeless Man
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A man with scraggly hair and a long coat. |
| Request | To give him some food. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | If you check the cameras and notice that the man doesn't show up at all, he's an Anomaly. If he's on the cams, he's clear. |
Secret Agent
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A man in a full suit with sunglasses. |
| Request | To tell you about the alien threat in the neighbourhood. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | Check the cameras. If you turn on nightvision, and the man turns into a 7ft alien, he's an Anomaly. If he isn't an alien, he's probably sound. |
Party Girl
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A dancing girl with a tank top and baggy jeans. |
| Request | To invite you to a party. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | If the girl's voice echoes melodically, she's an Anomaly. If she talks normally, she's sound, although still very weird for asking a little kid to come sling shots with her. |
Ballerina
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A blonde girl in a ballerina outfit. |
| Request | To dance for you. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | If you turn on the camera and see the girl dancing on the doorstep, she's an Anomaly. If she's standing normally, she's safe. |
Next Door Neighbour
| |
|---|
| Appearance | An older woman in a pink shirt, shorts and with no shoes. |
| Request | To argue about the position of your CCTV camera. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | Coming soon |
Dog Owner
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A man in a black polo shirt. |
| Request | To get his dog from your backyard. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | Check the backyard camera. If you see a dog sitting there, you're good to let him in. If, instead, the Dog Owner is there, hunched on all fours, barking like a dog... yeah, gonna go out on a limb and say he's an Anomaly. |
Wifi Kid
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A kid in a red hoodie holding a tablet. |
| Request | To get the wifi password. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | When pulling up the cameras, if you hear the camera noise start glitching, the wifi kid is an Anomaly. To help you out here, the glitch sounds like a camera shutter repeatedly clicking. If you don't hear that noise, the kid's safe. |
Lost Girl
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A little girl with long hair and a grey jacket. |
| Request | To use your phone. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | If you turn on night vision on the cameras and she's giant, she's an Anomaly. If she looks the same in both camera views, she's clear. |
Old Man
| |
|---|
| Appearance | An old man with grey hair and a suit. |
| Request | To find his daughter's house. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | Coming soon |
Sleepy Woman
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A girl in a pink jumper and grey sweats. |
| Request | To lie down in your bed for a few winks. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | When looking at the woman through the cameras, if her head snaps forward when you turn on night vision, she's an Anomaly. If it doesn't change, she's safe. |
Drunk Girl
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A stumbling girl with frizzy hair and a black dress. |
| Request | To use your phone. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | Coming soon |
Obby Player
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A bald, middle-aged man in a black shirt. |
| Request | To play Roblox with you. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | If you switch to the camera overlooking the player's mum's car, and see the Obby player smashing it apart with his fist, he's an Anomaly. If the camera view is normal, he is too! |
Gym Bro
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A large, muscular man in a white shirt. |
| Request | Water for a protein shake. |
| Evidence he's an Anomaly | If his voice sounds incredibly high-pitched, you have an Anomaly on your hands. If he sounds normal, he's good to go! |
Goblin Stalker
| |
|---|
| Appearance | A small, pale-skinned demon goblin that hides in plain sight. |
| Request | To jumpscare you. |
| Evidence she's an Anomaly | Not a visitor, but worth noting is the permanent jumpscaring goblin that'll appear around your house. This is just an Anomaly game staple at this point, and he can't actually harm you. He's just doing it for the love of the game, I guess. Ignore him. |
