How to Survive the Intense 5-Minute Chase?

The Mama Rabbit has a brief time to prepare. Jump into action quickly to avoid The Man’s detection.

Read the storybook carefully

The book isn't just part of The Man From the Window’s story. It also hides valuable clues about how The Man searches the apartment. So, read it, pay close attention to its descriptions, and predict which hiding spots may be checked first.

Roam the apartment and choose safe hiding places

Move between rooms to find safe places to hide the Junior first, then you, the Mama Rabbit. Be sure to avoid locations mentioned early in the book. Before the clock reaches 2 AM, you can spend a few moments locking doors, moving the couch to block the path, …, which will distract The Man or take him more time to enter your place. This handy tip can increase your chance to survive.
