Creating a Family Home

Your friendly guide to Unpacking's 'Creating a Family Home' section. Learn how to unpack, place items, and find hidden achievements with easy-to-follow tips.

Hey there! Ready to dive into Unpacking and create some cozy spaces? This section, 'Creating a Family Home,' is all about getting settled and finding those little joys in placing your belongings. Don't worry, it's super chill, and we'll get through it together. The game's designed to be relaxing, and we'll make sure you can enjoy it without any stress.

The main goal in each level is pretty straightforward: empty all the boxes! You'll be using simple point-and-click controls. Just click a box to open it, then click an item to pick it up and place it somewhere. As you take items out, the paper inside the box will disappear. Once a box is empty, one last click will make it vanish. Most levels have a few rooms, and each will have boxes waiting for you.

Now, here's a pro-tip: there's an accessibility option that lets you place items anywhere. Seriously, you can just dump everything on the floor if you want! It's perfect if you're not too fussed about perfect interior design, but if you're a bit of an organizer, you might find it a tad chaotic. This option won't affect any achievements, so feel free to use it!

When you pick up an item, it'll usually snap into place if it fits. You can also manually rotate items using the B button (or Circle on PlayStation). Sometimes, achievements require you to interact with specific items, which you'll also do with the B button, either while holding the item or when hovering over it. Some things can be stacked, others go on walls or hang on hooks. If you're running out of space, you can carry an item to a different room using the LB or RB buttons (or L1/R1 on PlayStation). Also, remember that most rooms scroll up and down, so there's usually more space than you initially see!

A quick note on clothes hangers: In later levels, you'll get a bunch of these. They can take up a lot of room, so it's a good idea to hang them up on the wardrobe racks just to keep them out of the way.
