Hello Neighbor 3 Walkthrough — Complete Guide, All Notes, Lever & Ending

Hello Neighbor 3 is the next entry in the popular stealth-action series, taking players back to the crow-filled town. This time, you play as a journalist tasked with finding a secret document belonging to a missing company employee. In this guide, you'll find a full walkthrough, solutions to every puzzle, and tips on how to locate key items.

When you spawn on the map, you’ll see various posters and stands, as well as the huge hotel building ahead. Head straight and enter through the main entrance. On the table, grab the flashlight, then go into the storage room to the right of the reception desk and pick up the crowbar from the shelf.

Go back to the lobby and take the stairs to the second floor. Enter room 201 and grab the saw from the bed, then head to the end of the hallway. To the right of the window, there’s a wardrobe blocking a hole in the wall. Crouch down and pick up the crowbar hidden behind it.

From here, you have two options:

On the windowsill in room 204, you’ll find a sheet of paper with a red border. Go inside and pick up the note from the desk. After that, you’ll need to visit four more locations on the map to collect the rest of the notes. You can find a map of the area in the main square in front of the hotel, as well as in different parts of the town. Be careful while exploring: hostile lawnmowers patrol the area and can catch your character, throwing you out of the map.

Near the hotel, there’s a bakery with a crying vendor sitting on the steps. Walk around him on the right and keep going straight along the sidewalk. After a short walk, you’ll reach a fully closed turquoise building marked Cable car.

To get inside, get a running start and jump onto the rusty awning by the gate. Move left, jump onto the light wooden board, and try to climb up to the highest part of the roof. There, you’ll find a round window. Smash it with the crowbar, drop down into the room with boxes, and look behind them for the passage to a room where you’ll find the next note (1/4) on the table.

The closest spot to the hotel is the cinema. Exit the building and walk along the right sidewalk until you see a large red building with a Cinematograph sign.

The easiest way in is through the left window, which is boarded up. Use the crowbar to remove the board and slip into the first screening room. Go down the right hallway to the second theater, where you’ll see a wardrobe by the door. Use the saw to dismantle it and open the way forward.

Turn left and walk past the yellow doors into other screening rooms until you find a way down to the staff area. Break the board with your crowbar, sneak under the camera, and go into the door marked Boiler. On the table, you’ll find note (2/4). Take it and head back outside.

The gas station is in the southern part of town. After leaving the hotel, head right along the main road. Soon you’ll spot a ruined building with an open garage on a small hill.

Go into the garage and break the board by the door on the right. In the room that opens up, flip the switch, then head back out, grab the screwdriver from the table, and go through the yellow door in the far right corner.

Enter the next door, climb the stairs, and smash the round window with your crowbar. Walk along the metal beams, turn toward the roof, and take a running jump up. Move forward across the roof and break another round window. Drop down and grab note (3/4) from the desk—this finishes the gas station section.

To get to the supermarket, head right from the hotel along the main road. Go past the cinema, keep walking to the second intersection, and turn left at the fork.

The fastest way inside is to go around the right side of the supermarket and take a running jump onto the roof. Make your way around the building and find the door on the far side, which is boarded up. Use the crowbar to break the board and head inside.

Inside, you’ll see two broken mechanisms—you can fix them with the screwdriver you found earlier. This will open the shutters. Go further in, find the blue cabinet, and open it. Crouch down and open the secret passage behind the cabinet. Move forward, stay out of the camera’s line of sight, and break the window with your crowbar. On the desk, you’ll find one more note (4/4).

After collecting all four notes, your objective will update. Now you need to find a special lever to activate the cable car. The lever is on display as an exhibit in the museum, which is located in the top right corner of the city. On your way, you’ll encounter a crow-like creature—shine your flashlight to scare it off.

Once you reach the museum, don’t use the main entrance. Instead, go around the building on the left using the wooden walkway and jump onto the muddy ledge, holding the crouch button as you leap. Then head left and break the first window you can reach with your crowbar.

Inside, pick up the golden crowbar and exit through the yellow door. Next, go to the next room through the red door in the left hallway and climb the stairs.

On the attic, go straight ahead. In the room with the blue cabinet, turn right and start breaking the red metal grate. You’ll need two regular crowbars and the golden one to get through. Once it’s destroyed, go to the glass display case, smash it, and take the lever.

With the lever in hand, return to the manager’s office and follow the same jumping route as before. This time, after the wooden board, open the window on the side wall. Climb inside, exit through the yellow door, and go down to the second floor. Enter the cable car and attach the lever to the panel. When you arrive at the station, step out of the cabin. Check the park map on the stand and pick up the crowbar lying nearby.

From here, turn right and climb the dirt path up the hill. Go under the wooden structure with the Golden Apple sign and get past the gate using the wooden construction on the left. Drop down into the area with umbrellas and climb onto the one closest to the gate on the right. Jump over the gate, follow the left path, and climb onto the pink rooftops. From there, pull yourself up onto the muddy ledge and head toward the map stand with the Ferris wheel in the background.

Now turn left and jump onto the wooden boards leading to the blue house. Break the barricade on the door with your crowbar and stick to the right wall—you’ll end up on a balcony where you’ll find a flashlight near the table. Next, head toward the Ferris wheel. On the left, there’s a barely noticeable path leading to a wooden building with Ice Cream signs.

Go through the wooden structure and climb up the hill. From there, you'll see the weather station, guarded by a familiar enemy. Here’s what you need to do: take a running jump onto the roof, break the two boards on the yellow door, and climb up.

Next, open the front window and drop down onto the second-floor roof. Walk across the glass panels and smash one of the four at the edge of the station. Go down and pick up the red folder with documents. After this, the final cutscene will play—at this stage, it marks the end of the pre-alpha version of the game.
