Secret Neighbor is a multiplayer social horror game set in the Hello Neighbor universe. A group of kids must collect keys to unlock the basement door. However, one of the players is the Neighbor in disguise! Use special abilities, work together (or don't), and try to survive the traps. Whether you're playing as a kid or the Neighbor, the goal is simple: outsmart everyone else.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

84/100

Secret Neighbor is a tense, social-horror experience that translates the Hello Neighbor world into a fantastic multiplayer game of 'whodunit.' The asymmetrical setup is perfect: six kids trying to unlock the basement door while one of them is secretly the Neighbor in disguise. It creates a constant atmosphere of paranoia—is your teammate actually helping you, or are they leading you into a trap?

The different classes for the kids (like the Scout or the Inventor) add a great layer of team strategy, while the Neighbor's ability to transform and use gadgets keeps the intruders on their toes. The graphics maintain the series' signature uncanny style, and the sound design—especially the creaking floorboards—adds to the immersion. It's a blast to play with friends, and the social deduction elements make every round unpredictable.

This game is great, but
Sun Aug 30 2026 Kawaii berry 34

Hi, so I love this game and I’ve been playing this game for years and it’s really really fun and I’ve made new friends too, but I just feel like the owner abandoned this game and there’s been a lot of little kids and like other like people like being racist harassing and being inappropriate and cussing and I’ve been trying to report those kids, but it never works. Also, it came across this one day where I was trying to play the game and it kept on saying authentic error so just like ok I’ll just press the OK button and then it showed it again and then I was just like OK I’ll just leave the game and clear my tabs and go back into the game. I’ve tried that several times. I’ve been trying it for weeks and months. It just keeps on saying authentic error and the game does crash sometimes but for me it’s very rare but I would just like the person to just fix these and like I was saying about the authentic error, I actually made a lot of good friends and I do miss them but this game like just I don’t know if I got banned or something and please developer read this and I know you might not read this because I think you abandoned the game well that’s what most people think but nobody sure if you actually abandon the game and there’s been a lot of rumors about stuff that like some things been like going on like I don’t know and anyway sorry for the hella long paragraph lol

I love this game but there’s 3 reasons why it’s 4 star
Sun Aug 23 2026 camgamer!

I love the game and even use all characters and neighbors and play for a while but I gave a 4 star because sometimes when I complete a match (usually while using Quintin (from the thrill bundle)), I would select a different character (which includes Bagger, Leader, Detective, Inventor, Scout, and Brave) and their eyes would be off their face and the glitch is kinda gross. There’s also a glitch that made me angry, apparently, another penalty reason is if leaving an active game, well guess what? I hid in a closet after begging for help to try to bait the neighbor so I can attack and tell everyone so when I got out after a while, I was stuck in the closet and Leader tried to save me but got caught by the neighbor, then the neighbor tried saving me by catching me in the closet but also failed and went to look for someone else, so I got stuck and had to leave while it was active, and I got a penalty for leaving the match when it literally trapped me in the closet!!! Luckily I managed to find all 3 keys and use them on first try, compared with the other 2 times I left and I get to play normally with other people but please fix this glitch!! I love your games so much, thank you for taking your time to read this. Edit: it is giving me an authentication error! Fix the game plz!

Love but…

Okay this is a great horror game. It's scary but not too scary. Although, it is KINDA difficult to escape. There are soooo many drawers and closets, etc. and only a few have a key. Also, I don’t like key cards. So I disabled those. Another problem is sometimes, when you get into a game, the game crashes and kicks you out of the game. Please fix this! But… something else is standing in the way. Sometimes, when you get into the game, and then you decide to leave, it says “start game.” And it makes you finish the round you’re on. Unless you go to “custom game” and create your own game. But other than that, this game is pretty fun! I also like that the neighbor can disguise himself, so it's kinda like an imposter game. This game is also really fun for playing with friends. ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT PART: YOU START OFF 1st PERSON BUT YOU CAN CHANGE TO 3rd PERSON IN SETTINGS!!!! THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF CUSTOMIZATION CHARACTERS!!! Overall, this game is pretty fun. Thanks, Secret Neighbor! Don’t stop! Have a great day/night!!! ☀️🌙

Absolutely excellent, but just one tiny suggestion.
Sun Jun 27 2021 King PhiI

This is my first time writing a review on a game I actually enjoy playing on my free time. This game is well made and the developers did an excellent job. But I'd suggest that you could have a button on the screen, where you would get to have you microphone on or off instead of going into the Setting's each time. All in all, I really enjoy this game and I would definitely recommend this oustanding game to people who haven't played this game. Thanks. Edit: Another Suggestion. Maybe you could bring back the name changer, because I hate being stuck at Player. And, could you make the graphics a bit more better on Mobile. Because it kind of feels like the first time I've played Fortnite on Mobile and it looked too plain. Almost like a child just took a water color and just dabbed it everywhere. Not that I'm complaining, but these are more suggestions I'd like to add to my original review. Again, I would recommend this extraordinary game to new player's. Thanks, for real this time. If there's more I'd like to add, I would. 😊

Love ❤️ it but problems!!!

So I have been playing this game for almost 2 years. And I basically like everything about it. One is that. Why do you have to pay for characters. It’s not really That exciting to play. If you only have one character, but what is good is that you can change your characters clothes. You can also change the neighbors clothes My third reason is that when kids are throwing things at the neighbor. He sometimes doesn’t let go, and it’s really annoying to me, and my sister I would really like you guys to change those. And I hope you read my review and fix it. I bet a lot of us playing this wonderful game. Would like the changes better. Also when your in the one place where there is only a one key card and a neighbor door 🚪 when you open the three and you go up stairs and there’s this big gap that you have to jump through I grab a speed bar and run but everything I try , I fall hurt myself, and if there is 1 minute I lose the game for how much time I take to get to the basement,I’m not saying that your game is horrible 😣 I Totally love the game but would I Like those few changes I’m not saying that I’m a hater for your but that’s my opinion about the game. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do these changes!!!!?

LOVE IT but a few changes pls
Fri Jul 11 2025 nope is a go

So I love this game a lot but remember in 2021 it was free characters and it was for coins?!?!?!?! Bring that back pls. bc the only character that people have is a bagger and we have to pay for it now and I can’t afford this and I am under 18 and also can u make more maps like the mall or smth and also the neighbors we only have 1 neighbor well half of us and it’s not fair because we just have the neighbor who grabs kids and has no abilities and the others just have cool neighbors like the butcher or you can make the regular neighbor have abilities too and it would be rlly fun I have ideas for the abilities for the regular neighbor 2 ability’s *all stuck in bear traps* number 1 *long hands* number 2 *when leader blinds neighbor the neighbor runs faster and the leader runs slower and the other characters drop their items for 3 seconds* number 3 and I love this game but can u pls make people add each other so they can be friends and chat together with a phone in the game like a icon or smth people would give u good ratings for that

Great Game!

This is an AMAZING GAME. However, like every game, there are a few bugs that I would like to be fixed. Here they are. LAG. JUST THE LAG. loading takes forever as well, so it takes a while to be able to play with my friends. Also, I used to play on switch, and I couldn’t play with my friend who was on Xbox. I now have it on xbox , but I’ve not tried it on there yet, so I don’t know how it works. I would appreciate if you would try to fix these bugs. Also, before I end this, I want to say I feel sorry for the people sending in the critical reviews saying that they demand you fix the bugs now, thinking they are the boss of you and know everything. If someone reading this is one of those people. QUIT. I’m not making you, because I don’t have that kind of power, but I’m asking you to quit being mean to the developers. I’m sure they’re trying their hardest to help. Anyways, that’s all I have to say. Great game, keep up the good work!

Love, but have maybe one idea!!!👍😝❤️

Hi my name is Ashly! I really love this game but have one slite idea 💡! First let’s discuss the good stuff! First, I love how the neighbor stuff works, like how the neighbor can change into the different kids! That work is phenomenal!!!👍👍👍 Next, I like how you can turn on your mic 🎤 and talk to the other people but it is kinda scetchy, when you have your mic on like they can hear everything, so like one guy sounded like a really old man and he said he knew where i lived 🏠🏠🏠 which creeped me out but they did a really great job and banned him really quickly ❌❌❌ which was amazing 🤩 but other then that I like to privet mic 🎤 them and team up and even can know who the neighbor is like that is sick!!! The suggestion I have is maybe like Roblox you can friend people and like see when their online so you can play with them 😜😜😜 thank you for reading this review and hope you enjoy the game if you get it!!!😍😍😍
