How to get outside in Secret Staycation

If you’re like me, you might have been staring at that balcony the entire time you were searching in the kitchen and wondering how to get there. Check out how to get outside in Secret Staycation and explore.

How to go to the balcony in Secret Staycation

Secret Staycation has multiple areas you can explore to complete your food collection. The balcony is one such spot, but the doors are closed and you can’t go out that way. So how do you go to the balcony in Secret Staycation?

First, pick a small food as you will be crawling through a tunnel. You have options like the Caviar, Sugar Cube and Chili Pepper. They are all a little tricky to get (especially the Sugar Cube with that timing for getting on the train being super annoying), but I think the Caviar is the easiest. You can also use it to reach the Watermelon, so it’s worth the effort of getting it quickly.

Once you select and respawn as a small food, jump down and head towards the bookshelf. Go underneath it and you’ll see a small hole in the wall. Crawl into it and go through the tight tunnel until you reach a bigger maze.

Before you start traversing the maze, keep in mind that you are not alone here (and I don’t mean other players). The ruler of the maze is a rat. If it catches you, it will drag you back to the starting point, so you’ll want to avoid that.

With that warning, you are now ready to go outside. Here is the exact path you need to follow if you want to breathe some fresh air on the balcony:

1. At the starting point head left (if you go right, you can find a Small Piece of Cheese, but you won’t be going outside).
2. Don’t take any turns, just keep going down the same path until you see a rubber ducky. When you see it, go down the left path.
3. Again, don’t take any branches just keep going down the main path. Stick to the left wall to make it easier for yourself.
4. When you reach the wooden wall, again go to the left and through the tight passage. You’ll see a hole at the end. Go through it and you will be outside on the balcony.

While the balcony is nice to look at, there are actually two foods here that you need to pick up. The first one is the Mushroom on the swinging chair. All you need to do is jump up to get it.

The second food you can grab here is a Pancake, which can be found in the flower garden. To get it, jump onto the water can, then jump across the way to the little garden, and you can pick it up. With that done, you can respawn back inside and keep exploring.
