Advanced play is about controlling when you search and when you avoid. Instead of treating every room as equally important, prioritize areas that contain keys, puzzle components, or clear progress toward escape. If a room feels dangerous, note what you can see and return later when the risk is lower.
Use the house layout to your advantage by keeping your options open. Do not commit to a risky path unless it is necessary. When you solve a puzzle, immediately reassess the new route and look for the next objective. The best strategy is not simply to run, but to outsmart Granny through observation, timing, and steady progress.
