How the game works
Summary
You start at school, pick up your failed math test, and then head home. Once you are in the house, your mom is on her way back. You need to act before she gets there, because waiting too long without doing anything is itself an outcome.
- Goal hide, destroy, or deal with the math test before mom finds it
- Interaction press E on objects and characters to use them or start a conversation
- Mom when she comes home, press E to talk to her and trigger the ending
- No hiding if you wait 30 seconds without doing anything with the test, she finds it and you get that outcome
Ways to get rid of the test
StepWalk around the house and press E on the object you want to use. Every location listed below produces its own unique ending. Once you have placed the test, wait for mom to arrive and then press E to talk to her.
- Fireplace put the test in the fireplace
- Fridge open the fridge with E and place the test inside
- Shredder feed the test into the shredder
- Wardrobe or closet stash the test in there
- Trash can drop the test in the trash
- Outside take the test outside and wait for mom to arrive by car
- Printer use the printer on the test
- Under the bed hide the test under the bed (the vacuum will find it)
Endings involving the house itself
TipsNot every ending is about where you put the test. Some come from what else you do in the house while the timer is running.
- Clogging the toilet with the test floods the bathroom
- Trying to cook the test leads to a house fire
- Large disaster endings — tornado, tsunami, and meteor — each have their own triggers in the environment
- The dog ending uses the classic excuse that the dog ate the homework
- Telling the truth to mom is the stated path to the Good Ending in Chapter 2
Getting every ending
CheckEach run is short, so replaying is the core loop. Keep track of which hiding spots and house interactions you have already tried so you do not repeat yourself.
- Try every object in the house that lets you press E each one is a potential ending
- Let the timer run out without hiding anything at least once
- Lie to mom when she asks and also try telling the truth in a separate run
- Replay Chapter 2 separately, since it has its own Good Ending tied to honesty

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if I do nothing with the test?
If you wait 30 seconds without hiding the math test, your mom finds it and you get the You Didn't Hide the Test ending.
How do I reach the Good Ending in Chapter 2?
The badge description for the Chapter 2 Good Ending says that telling the truth is always the best option. When mom confronts you, choose the honest response instead of trying to cover up the test.
