This spoiler-filled walkthrough takes you from the Security Room keypad to the end of A Tight Squeeze. Follow the mandatory route to get the blue and red GrabPack hands, restore power, build a toy, and escape Huggy Wuggy. VHS tapes are optional collectibles, not progression requirements.

Before you start

MOB Entertainment’s official Chapter 1 page identifies A Tight Squeeze as the first chapter, released October 12, 2021. The chapter takes place in an abandoned toy factory. Its GrabPack hands can reach objects and conduct electricity, which is central to the route’s switches and circuit puzzles.

The walkthrough below follows the main progression in order: Reception and Security, the lobby and Power room, Storage, the conveyor, Make A Friend, and the final chase. Exact control prompts can vary by platform; follow the on-screen interaction prompt when one appears.

1. Enter the Security Room and get the blue hand

  1. In Reception, look at the train colors shown in the Gift Shop. Enter the sequence green, pink, yellow, red on the Security Room keypad. This is the code order reported by the Steam Community walkthrough.
