If you’re into new games that mix horror and puzzles, Poppy Playtime is a must-play. But it can be tricky — and scary — if you don’t know what to do. This simple walkthrough will help you beat Chapter 1, called “A Tight Squeeze”, step by step.
Let’s jump in and explore one of the creepiest new games out there right now.
You begin in the Reception area of the Playtime Co. building. On your right is the Toy Room, and on the left is the locked Security Room. To get inside the Security Room, look at the toy train on the ceiling in the Toy Room.
Code: Green, Pink, Yellow, Red.
Use the code to enter the Security Room, grab the Blue Tape, and watch the video to unlock the GrabPack. This tool lets you interact with the environment using a Blue Hand.
Open the shutter behind the reception desk using the Blue Hand. You’ll see Huggy Wuggy for the first time — just standing there.
Use the Blue Hand on the broken panel. Huggy will drop a key into his hand. Take the key to unlock the Power Room door.
Inside, connect the Blue Hand to the circuit and walk around the poles to restore power. Once the lights return — Huggy Wuggy disappears!
Use your Blue Hand to go through the next door and head upstairs. Collect four fuses scattered across the room:
After inserting all four fuses, the Red Hand will arrive on a conveyor belt. Use both hands to open the next double-handed door.
Crawl through the tunnel to reach a circuit puzzle. Use:
This powers the conveyor leading to the Make-A-Friend Room.
To proceed, you need to make a toy:
Place the toy on the scale to unlock the next hallway.
This is the most intense part. As you walk through the new hallway, Huggy Wuggy chases you!
Run through the tunnels. Follow signs like:
At the dead end, use your GrabPack to pull down a crate. It falls on Huggy and ends the chase.
After the chase, walk down the catwalk and follow the hallway with the red flower. Enter the final room and open Poppy’s case. This triggers the cutscene that ends Chapter 1.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 is short, creepy, and packed with puzzles. It’s no surprise it's one of the most talked-about horror New Games today. From clever mechanics to the unforgettable Huggy Wuggy chase, it delivers everything horror game fans love.
If you're into mystery, tension, and interactive scares — this is the game for you.
