About

Overview

Hello Neighbor: Diablo's Circus is an asymmetric hide-and-chase game where a team of Intruders works together to unlock rooms while a player-controlled Neighbor hunts them down. Up to nine players can join a single server. This guide covers both roles, the controls you need, and how to unlock the game's badges and skins.

Two roles and one goal

Table
In short Knowing which side you are on shapes every decision you make.

Every match splits players into Intruders and one Neighbor. Intruders win by unlocking a series of rooms and finally breaking into the Basement. The Neighbor wins by catching Intruders before that happens. Once the Basement is unlocked, one player spawns as the Neighbor and is then automatically ejected from the match.

Badge unlocks and the skins they reward

Table
In short Most skins are tied to specific badge conditions, so knowing those conditions lets you plan which ones to chase.

Several badges reward you with a new skin when you meet their condition. The table below shows the unlock requirement for each skin-related badge.

Common questions

FAQ

What happens after the Basement is unlocked?

One player spawns as the Neighbor immediately after the Basement opens. That player is then automatically ejected from the match.

Can I unlock Santa Neighbor at any time of year?

No. The Santa Neighbor badge is only available during the Christmas season. You also have to catch 20 players in a single game as the Neighbor to earn it.

How do I get the Pre-Alpha Man badge?

A developer has to join the server and personally open that door. There is nothing you can do on your own to trigger it.

Do I need to do anything inside this game to unlock the Roblox Character skin?

No. You have to complete the separate Roblox game called Hello Neighbor Forsaken. Finishing that game is what unlocks your own Roblox character as a skin here.
