Discover how to get the secret 'Easter Egg' trophy in Gone Home by finding a hidden purple ball and making a basketball shot. Full guide here!

Alright, so you're looking for the 'Easter Egg' trophy? It's a bit of a hidden one, and the game actually points you towards it when you're going for the Speedrunner trophy because it involves finding all the diary entries. But hey, if this is all you're after, let's track it down!

First things first, you'll want to turn on the Developers' Commentary. Once that's active, head into the garage. Look up towards the rafters – you should spot a commentary Node hanging up there.

Now, still in the garage, grab the milk carton from the blue recycle bin near the back wall. The game suggests this one because it's a bit bigger and easier to throw. With the carton in hand, walk towards the door, then turn around and look up at the ceiling again. Tucked away in the rafters, close to that commentary Node, you'll see a small purple ball. Don't worry if you haven't listened to the commentary; it'll be there regardless.

Your goal is to throw the milk carton at this purple ball. Use your reticule to aim carefully. Once you've knocked the ball down, pick it up. You need to carry this ball with you from now on. Just a heads-up, you might have to drop it temporarily if you need to open a door that requires both hands.

With the ball in tow, leave the garage and head back through the kitchen. When you reach the main hallway, turn left and follow it around, passing the table and couch. You'll come to a door past the couch. If you haven't opened it before, you might need to. Don't worry if you have to drop the ball to open it – just pick it back up on the other side. This leads you into the Foyer.

Head up the stairs, keeping that purple ball with you. At the top of the stairs, turn right and continue down the hallway until you're back in Sam's room. Close the door behind you. Now, get close to the door – you should see a prompt pop up on your screen that says DUNK!, referring to the basketball net inside the room. If the door is wide open into the corridor, or even just half-open, you can still trigger this by moving close to it.

Throw the ball towards the net. If you nail it, you'll get the narration 'Meow, Meow, Meow' and unlock the Meow, Meow, Meow trophy. Easy peasy!
