Scare Your Neighbor Neighborhoods

Learn the Scare Your Neighbor neighborhood order, when to train Speed or Scare, and how to escape with better packages.

scare your neighbor Editorial

Scare Your Neighbor neighborhoods are the game’s progression route from basic neighbors to high-value package targets. The documented order is Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythical → Cosmic → Secret. Use Scare to pass the fright check, then use Speed to reach the house and survive the chase back to Base.

Neighborhood order and evidence

The table shows what each documented tier represents. It does not turn video observations into a complete official unlock chart: most exact requirements, neighbor rosters, and package pools are not recorded in the supplied evidence.

Scare Your Neighbor neighborhood progression

NeighborhoodProgression roleKnown target or reward clueRequirement evidence
CommonStarting areaBasic neighbors and starter packagesA Common neighbor is shown with Scare level 800
UncommonEarly upgradeStronger neighbors and packages than CommonExact threshold not documented
RareMid progressionPolice is associated with this tierHigher Speed and Scare; exact gate not complete
EpicHigh progressionEpic packages and chase-heavy targetsHigher Scare and enough Speed to return to Base
LegendaryLate progressionRich Neighbor, Golden Palace, and a golden package appear in evidenceExact threshold not confirmed
MythicalVery late progressionMythical package is recordedMore Speed and Scare; full gate not documented
CosmicEnd-stage progressionHovercraft is identified as a Cosmic itemHigh Speed and Scare; complete roster not documented
SecretSecret-stage challengeDevil is shown as an exceptionally difficult targetSpecific unlock and target requirements are unconfirmed

Treat the order as the reliable part of the map. The evidence does not establish precise thresholds for every row, and the recorded Devil failure does not prove that every Secret target is impossible to scare.

Choose between Scare and Speed

Neighborhood progression is not a single-stat ladder. Make the upgrade decision from the failure you are seeing:

  • The scare chance or required level is too low: train at Scare Trainers and consider a stronger Costume. The Common example displays Scare level 800, while an early video also shows a target with roughly 75% scare chance; these are separate observations, not a universal formula.
  • You can scare the neighbor but cannot get away: train on Treadmills or use a Speed Aura. Police and other stronger targets can chase after you take the package.
  • You cannot reach the target consistently: raise Speed before treating the neighborhood as your next farming route. One recorded Grandpa scenario uses about 900 Speed, but that is not a universal requirement for every neighbor.
  • You pass the check but lose the package: step back to a safer neighborhood and complete reliable runs. A higher tier is only useful when the package reaches Base.

The practical rule is to satisfy the displayed Scare check first, then leave enough Speed for the return trip. Do not infer that a neighborhood is unlocked solely because a related item or neighbor appears in a video.

Run a neighborhood package route

Use this loop when testing a new tier:

  1. Check the target’s displayed Scare or Speed requirement before knocking.
  2. Train the missing stat at Scare Trainers or Treadmills; use a Costume or Speed Aura when it fits your current budget.
  3. Knock on the neighbor’s door and attempt the scare interaction.
  4. If the scare succeeds, take the Package and immediately plan the route back to Base.
  5. Avoid the pursuing neighbor and return with the package instead of forcing a second target.
  6. Place the package at Base and let Minions process it before opening the reward.
  7. Keep, equip, or sell the resulting Item, then reinvest the Money into the stat or minion upgrade that removes your next bottleneck.

This route explains why Speed matters even when the visible gate is a Scare value: the reward pipeline is incomplete until the package is safely processed at Base.

Steal and process a neighborhood package

This moment supports the package route by showing a stolen package returning to Base, Minions processing it, and the resulting common item being checked.

Targets linked to the tiers

The supplied records identify several target types, but they do not provide a complete one-to-one neighborhood roster. Use these as route clues rather than guaranteed assignments:

  • Noob is an entry target, with a video example showing about 75% Scare chance.
  • Old Man or Grandpa appears in early progression; some chase footage uses about 900 Speed.
  • Police is linked to the Rare and Epic portions of progression and actively pursues the player.
  • Strong Man is a tougher target shown with a Vampire costume during a successful package escape.
  • Rich Neighbor is associated with late packages, including a Golden Palace, golden package, and Luxury Safe.
  • Slender Man or Slenderina is treated as a special high-tier target that continues chasing after the theft.
  • Devil is a Secret-stage difficulty example. The recorded failed scare is evidence of that attempt, not a confirmed global rule.

Reach the Rare neighborhood and escape Police

This moment supports the tier and target clues by identifying Common, Uncommon, and Rare neighborhoods before connecting Rare with a pursuing Police neighbor.

What is not documented

The evidence does not give a complete official table for neighborhood unlock costs, exact Speed and Scare gates, package drop rates, processing times, or every neighbor in Legendary through Secret. It also does not prove that every package shown in a video belongs exclusively to the neighborhood where it appears. Check the current in-game requirement panel before spending upgrades or committing to a difficult run.

FAQ

What is the neighborhood order in Scare Your Neighbor?

The documented sequence is Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Cosmic, and Secret.

Is Rare the first neighborhood with Police?

The supplied video evidence connects Police with the Rare area and later shows an Epic result, but it does not provide a complete official roster. Treat Police as a documented progression clue, not proof that every Police target is exclusively Rare.

How do I prepare for Cosmic or Secret?

Keep raising both Speed and Scare, and verify the displayed gate before entering. The evidence specifically describes needing more of both stats before Cosmic and Secret, but it does not record complete numeric thresholds.

Does a better neighborhood always mean better profit?

Higher neighborhoods are associated with better package quality, but a failed scare or an escape failure can prevent the package from reaching Base. Compare reward quality with the success rate of your complete package route.
