The source material indicates that the main story of Moving Out comprises 30 distinct levels. Each of these levels presents a core challenge: successfully moving all desated furniture and items out of a given location and into the moving truck within a strict time limit to achieve a gold medal. This primary objective serves as the foundation for progressing through the game's narrative and unlocking further content. The emphasis on speed and efficiency is a defining characteristic of these levels, requiring players to quickly assess the layout, plan their routes, and coordinate their actions with any co-op partners.
Upon achieving a gold medal in a level, players are then presented with three additional bonus objectives. These are not tied to the original time limit, allowing players to tackle them at their own pace once the primary goal is met. This structure encourages replayability, as players who have already mastered a level for its gold medal can return to fulfill these secondary tasks. The source material explicitly states that "Once you get a gold medal on a level, you do not need to worry about getting a gold medal again on the level when doing the bonus objectives, so feel free to use all the time required." This is a crucial piece of information for players aiming for completion, as it removes the pressure of speed when focusing on the bonus objectives.
The "Mandatory Training" level is presented as an introductory experience, showcasing fundamental gameplay mechanics such as slapping, catching, and throwing. While it has a time limit for a gold medal, it also includes specific objectives, such as not slapping a ghost, and a collectible mailbox. This suggests that even the earliest levels are desed to introduce players to the concept of varied objectives beyond simply moving items, setting the stage for the more complex challenges and secrets that await in subsequent levels. The total number of objectives across all levels is 90 (3 per level), in addition to the 30 hidden consoles, 10 mailboxes, 1 secret mailbox, 13 toilets, and 7 animal types, all contributing to the full scope of content within the game's levels.
