Secrets
Secret Audio
In the mod kit, you can find a part where it says Swear Sound. When you open the cue, it shows audio files of extremely vulgar language. But, it isn't in the actual game. This can be found in BP_Sosed (the neighbor).
Out of Bounds
Burning House
Out of bounds in Pre-Alpha, you can find a burning house on top of a hill.
Second House
Out of bounds in Alpha 1, there is a second version of the Neighbor's house which is used for the intro cutscene.
The Wife's Grave
In the full game, if you go near the church out of bounds in the game you can find a gravestone with a silhouette of the Neighbor's wife on it.
Satellite
On the far side of the pond out of bounds is what looks to be a satellite with a golden plaque of some sort on it. It is unknown what it is hinting towards at this time if at anything. On the plaque are some strange symbols which as of now are not decipherable and may never be.
Mysterious Package
In one of the mailboxes of the houses, you can find a package. It is unknown at the time what you are supposed to do with it if there is anything you need to do with it at all. But originally before they scrapped fear factory, it was used in the fear_factory. Also in the Modkit it is called "Factory Object".
Secrets in Mr. Peterson's House
Family Photo
In a remote room of the neighbor's house, one you can only get to by umbrella and by breaking a window, there is a family photo depicting the Neighbor, his wife, his daughter, and his son. All of them appear to be happy and are notably smiling in the photo.
Tire Swing
On the top of the windmill, a broken tire swing can be found in the final version of the game.
Easter Eggs
Trash Can Flying Prohibited
In Alpha 3 and Act 3, a sign can be found saying "Trash Can Flying Prohibited", a reference to how some YouTubers (like 8-Bit Ryan) managed to get over the invisible walls by crouch jumping inside a trash can in Alpha 1.
Golden Apple
The Golden Apple is a mysterious item that can be found either physically or as a painting in all versions of Hello Neighbor except Pre-Alpha. The method of obtaining it differs in each version.
- In Alpha 1, it is labelled as a prize at the rifle range, along with a TV remote. Neither be obtained.
- In Alpha 3, the player can find a supermarket known as "The Golden Apple." It has no collision data, and so is speculated to only be used in a cutscene.
- This supermarket also exists in Alpha 4 and beyond. Between Alpha 4 and the final Beta, its text is in Russian/Slovenian. In the final build, it appears to be in English, but reads "Puserkarmet" instead.
- The golden apple is obtainable after growing a tree using the seed in Alpha 4, going to the left corner of the Neighbor's house with the apple equipped prompts a cutscene of a vision from the Neighbor's perspective.
- This seed also appears at the top of the Neighbor's windmill in the Beta 3, and the player can still grow the golden apple, but the gramophone was moved to the Golden Apple room, inside the wall and requried use of the superthrow ability to get the apple through the wall.
The same tree is found as a sapling in the Beta 3 basement.
- In the final build, the seed instead appears on the lone platform containing an armchair and a bear rug. There also no longer appears to be a cutscene for the apple, and it instead grants the player an achievement. The player also has shorts with a golden apple design on them in the first two acts of the game.
- Notably, in Alpha 1, if the Neighbor breaks down a door, it can be picked up. Doing so will show a yellow-green colored image of an apple as the HUD icon. This is presumably a placeholder for all objects without an item graphic.

- If you rewind back at Alpha 4's intro, from the high place that the mannequin was looking at you. Now before you go to the window, throw something first (make sure that you throw really far) and you can now go up the part of the windmill then use the umbrella to fall down to that window, you'll find the neighbor's family photo, the wife's purse and shoe(s).
- Outside on the map, on the large water part you can find another Sharkatron with a boat referencing The Jaw (1975) and a crashed Voyager satellite the golden record which might be referencing to the X-Files.
