Moving Out is a chaotic and hilarious physics-based moving simulator where players take on the role of Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technicians (F.A.R.Ts). While the primary objective of each level is to successfully move all desated items out of a location and into the moving truck within a time limit, the game also hides a variety of secrets and collectibles that add an extra layer of challenge and replayability. These hidden items often require players to deviate from the most efficient moving path, demanding careful observation and sometimes unconventional use of the game's mechanics. Discovering these secrets can lead to a greater understanding of the game's environments and can be a rewarding experience for dedicated players seeking to achieve 100% completion.
The source material indicates the presence of several types of hidden collectibles across the game's levels. These include "Hidden consoles" with one for each of the 30 levels, "Mailboxes" with a total of 10 scattered throughout, and a single "Secret mailbox." Additionally, there are "13 Toilets" to be found and "7 Animal types" that may appear in various levels, some of which might be tied to specific objectives or secrets. The "Mandatory Training" level, for instance, explicitly mentions a "Mailbox 1/10" located near the end of the level in the same room as the ghost and vase. This suggests that even the introductory levels can contain secrets that be on the lookout for from the very beginning of their moving career.
Successfully locating and interacting with these hidden items often involves understanding the physics of the game and how objects can be manipulated. For example, some hidden consoles might be placed in hard-to-reach areas, requiring players to throw items or use other F.A.R.Ts to access them. Similarly, the toilets and animal types might be integrated into the environment in ways that aren't immediately obvious, perhaps requiring players to break certain objects or interact with specific environmental elements. The presence of a ghost in the "Mandatory Training" level also hints at potential unique interactions or challenges associated with certain entities within the game world, which could be linked to finding secrets.
