Overview

Friday is the Haunted Mansion's deadpan soul collector in Present Uptown. Her current walkthrough combines the mansion's soul-collection route, five automatic scenes, conversation, three repeatable video actions, a quiet crypt encounter and a Christmas gift. The mansion's clue locations and puzzle controls are covered below; the murder mystery's culprit and story revelation are left for the player to discover.

Quick Stats

Attribute Value
Era / alignment Present / Evil
Main location Haunted Manor map destination, Uptown; Haunted Mansion interior
Schedule All day, every day, in her registered mansion rooms
Favorite relationship thresholds Mystic 50, Rogue 50, Intelligence 50
Special relationship skill Energy Drain
Talk 20 minutes; 1 base affection; 50 per day shared across rooms
Soul collection 10 fixed affection per soul added to the jar
Ordinary gifts / worker recruitment None
  1. Enable the Haunted Manor through the game's Halloween unlock; the game advertises HALLOWEEN in its Redeem Codes notice. The destination appears on the Present Uptown map when enabled. Friday's route then has no time-of-day or odd/even-day restriction.
  2. Arrive at the Exterior for Meeting Friday, then use Enter Mansion to reach the Foyer for The Soul Jar. Both automatic scenes complete once and give 5 base affection each. The empty Soul Jar is granted on the first Foyer visit.
  3. Select the Foyer's Harvest Soul, then click the revealed soul to put it in the jar. Merely revealing a soul does not collect it. Each actual soul added gives 10 fixed Friday affection.
  4. Explore the ground floor, gardens and basement, harvesting ordinary souls and completing the Library, Piano and Nursery puzzles below. Use Talk to Friday as needed; the allowance is shared wherever she appears.
  5. At 100 affection, use her three location-specific video actions when their rooms are accessible. Friday's Resolve in the Master Bedroom enables that room's Harvest Soul action.
  6. Reach the required soul totals for the Bedroom (9), Master Bedroom (11), Attic (15) and Crypt (16). Complete Ghostly Barriers at the South Stairs and, at Known after The Soul Jar, Depths of Appreciation in the Dungeon.
  7. At Crush, select Friday Fantasy in the Crypt for her five-round quiet encounter. Solve the mansion's separate mystery using the clue and review actions if pursuing its Crypt soul.
  8. With at least 21 souls in the Soul Jar, return to the Foyer for Soul Collection Complete. It awards 15 base affection, an Ornate Locket key item and 1 Crystal, once.
The currently registered collection has 21 clickable soul locations totaling 22 souls: the Attic Twins count as two. The completion scene and collection display use 21 as their target; you do not need to wait for 22 to trigger the Foyer reward.
Listed relationship rewards are base values. Favorite stats add bonuses when their thresholds are met, and the special relationship skill doubles the adjusted base before the shared random roll. Equipment, buffs and alignment can further change the final reward. Raising affection does not replace quest flags or earlier heart-to-hearts.

Where Friday Appears

Friday's ordinary portraits are scheduled all day, every day in the Foyer, Master Bedroom, Bedroom, South Stairs / Attic Stairwell, Attic, Conservatory Passage, Rooftop Terrace and Crypt. Talk is available at each of these eight locations, with the same shared daily counter.
The current portrait and Talk entries use the actual South Stairs / Attic Stairwell travel location. Ghostly Barriers also triggers there automatically after The Soul Jar.

Automatic Scenes

These trigger once when you enter their locations; none has a separate hour restriction.
Scene Place Requirement Base affection / extra reward
Meeting Friday Exterior Not previously completed 5
The Soul Jar Foyer Meeting Friday completed 5; first Foyer visit grants the empty jar
Ghostly Barriers South Stairs / Attic Stairwell The Soul Jar completed 5
Depths of Appreciation Dungeon The Soul Jar completed; Friday Known 10
Soul Collection Complete Foyer 21 souls in the Soul Jar 15; Ornate Locket and 1 Crystal
Soul-collection affection is fixed and added directly, independently of these scene rewards. Collecting the twins gives 20 fixed affection, because they add two souls. The normal collection does not require a Mystic or Rogue check; those favorite thresholds improve the ordinary shared relationship calculation.

Mansion Access and Room Thresholds

Entrance Required collected souls How to reach it
Exterior → Courtyard shortcut 2 Exterior's courtyard door; this is a shortcut gate, not a requirement on every garden route
South Stairs → Bedroom 9 Foyer → Upstairs → Upper Hallway → South Stairs
East Wing → Master Bedroom 11 Foyer → Upstairs → Upper Hallway → East Wing
South Stairs → Attic 15 Upper Hallway → South Stairs → Climb to Attic
Crypt Stairs → Crypt 16 Kitchen → Basement → Basement Corridor → Dungeon Passage → Dungeon → Crypt Stairs
The ground-floor route branches from the Main Hallway into Dining Room, Ballroom/Music Room, Library and Kitchen Hallway. Kitchen Hallway → Conservatory Passage → Greenhouse → Courtyard reaches the gardens; the Pond branches from the Courtyard. Kitchen → Basement leads to the Cellar, Meat Locker, Servant Quarters and Dungeon.
Ordinary adjacent-room travel generally takes 1 minute; floor-changing passages take 3 minutes. Entering/exiting the mansion takes 5 minutes. From the Crypt, Secret Passage returns to the Foyer in 5 minutes, useful for the completion ceremony.

Soul Collection Checklist

After a Harvest or successful puzzle, click the newly visible soul before leaving the room. Each soul can be collected once. The following normal Harvest actions take 2 minutes, apart from the puzzle-action costs shown afterward.
Room How to reveal its soul
Foyer Harvest Soul; tutorial
Dining Room Harvest Soul
Ballroom Harvest Soul
Kitchen Harvest Soul
Greenhouse Harvest Soul
Courtyard Harvest Soul; alternatively the first Hangman win reveals the same soul
Pond Harvest Soul
Bedroom Harvest Soul; enter with 9 souls
Bathroom Harvest Soul
Master Bedroom Complete Friday's Resolve, then Harvest Soul; enter with 11 souls
Sewing Room Harvest Soul
Attic Harvest Soul; enter with 15 souls; this one counts as two
Cellar Harvest Soul
Meat Locker Harvest Soul
Servant Quarters Harvest Soul
Dungeon Harvest Soul
Library Read Book and solve the Call out name riddle
Music Room Solve Play Piano
Nursery Examine the clues and solve Arrange Blocks
Rooftop Terrace Win Monster Dance, then Harvest Soul
Crypt Solve Mystery; its success directly reveals the soul
The Library, Music Room, Nursery and Crypt do not have the ordinary Harvest action in their current room menus. Use their puzzle actions rather than waiting for a Harvest button. Revealing and collecting a soul are separate steps in every case.

Mansion Puzzles

Puzzle Action cost Required input / goal Reward
Library Read Book 2 minutes; Call out name 2 minutes Enter Faceless Gentleman; case-insensitive, surrounding spaces ignored Reveals the Library soul
Music Room Play Piano 10 minutes Play D → E → A → D; either D/E octave works Reveals the Music Room soul
Nursery Blackboard 1 minute; Toys 1 minute; Arrange Blocks 2 minutes Enter WITCH; case-insensitive, surrounding spaces ignored Reveals the Nursery soul
Courtyard Hangman 3 minutes per game Guess the phrase before 7 wrong letters First win reveals the Courtyard soul; all 25 distinct phrases award a separate 1 Crystal
Rooftop Terrace Monster Dance 15 minutes Score 15,000 or more Enables Terrace Harvest Soul; harvest and click it afterward
Crypt mystery Review Clues 1 minute; Solve Mystery 2 minutes Submit all five correct fields using the mansion's evidence Reveals the Crypt soul
Hangman draws an unsolved phrase each time; all 25 wins are needed for its Crystal, but only the first win is needed to reveal its soul. The ordinary Courtyard Harvest provides another way to reveal that same soul. Solving the piano sets its completion flag and removes Play Piano from the normal room menu.

Mystery Clue Locations

The table lists the actual current room menus, including clues that have moved since older descriptions. The mystery solution itself is not revealed here. Review Clues in the Crypt allows you to reopen the evidence, and Solve Mystery asks for the culprit, method, location, day and accomplice.
Clue Actual place Action / cost
Doctor's Journal Cellar Read Journal; 1 minute
Torn Journal Page Library Read Page; 1 minute
Butler's Resignation Letter Servant Quarters Read Letter; 1 minute
Count's Will Master Bedroom Read Will; 1 minute
Maid's Letter Sewing Room Read Letter; 1 minute
Ghostly Memory Dining Room Witness Memory; 2 minutes
Travel Itinerary Greenhouse Read Itinerary; 1 minute
Official Notice Bedroom Read Notice; 1 minute
Formal Statement Ballroom Read Statement; 1 minute
Telephone Exchange Log Kitchen Read Log; 1 minute
Housemaid's Statement Basement Landing Read Statement; 1 minute
Detective's Notes Crypt Read Notes; 2 minutes

Talk and Repeatable Video Actions

Talk to Friday takes 20 minutes, gives 1 base affection and allows 50 uses per day shared across all rooms. Further attempts record −1 base affection. She has no ordinary Food, Perfume, Jewelry or other standard relationship gift action.
All three video actions below require 100 affection, are available all day once their rooms are accessible, and each plays once per day with its own counter. The handlers grant 50 player Erotic experience for each action; their current video records do not configure separate NPC intimacy-experience rewards.
Action Place Cost Base affection / progression
Friday's Resolve Master Bedroom 45 minutes; 40 energy; 30 calm 50; enables that room's Harvest Soul
Strange Sounds Bedroom 15 minutes; 15 calm 40
Playtime Promise Attic 20 minutes; 15 calm 50
The room's soul threshold is still required to reach these menus; 100 affection alone does not open a locked door. Strange Sounds and Playtime Promise are separate optional interactions, without a requirement to complete Friday's Resolve first.

Friday Fantasy in the Crypt

At Crush, enter the Crypt with its 16-soul access requirement and select Friday Fantasy. It costs 120 minutes and 15 energy, all day. This is a repeatable five-round quiet encounter, with one available answer at each step and no additional skill/stat branch.
Round Available answer Base points
1 I can see why you'd find this peaceful 10
2 That's... a very Friday thing to want to do 10
3 Climb into the coffin with Friday 15
4 Stay with her in the quiet darkness 10
5 I'm glad I came along too 5


The answers total 50 base affection, using the normal apartment completion calculation. Romantic adds 25 final affection points. No player Erotic/Beast or NPC intimacy-experience award is configured for this encounter. Its current handler does not record the action's advertised daily count, so the listed once-per-day limit is not enforced by this route.

Christmas Gift

During the active Christmas event, reach Close Friend and meet Friday in the Foyer. Give Christmas Gift consumes one Special Christmas Gift, takes 30 minutes and awards 100 fixed affection, once per character. Her themed gift is the Nightmare Vessel; you do not need to craft an ordinary item with that name. The gift's dialogue choices do not add an extra affection reward.

If Progress Stalls

  • Enable the Haunted Manor unlock and use the Present Uptown map if the destination is missing. Once enabled, it is not limited to night hours or the real-world Halloween date.
  • Click each revealed soul. Harvesting or solving a puzzle alone does not raise the collected count or jar quantity.
  • Use the actual room thresholds: Bedroom 9, Master Bedroom 11, Attic 15, Crypt 16.
  • Build 100 affection and complete Friday's Resolve before looking for Master Bedroom Harvest Soul.
  • Use puzzle actions in the Library, Music Room, Nursery and Crypt. Those current room menus do not offer an ordinary Harvest button.
  • The Terrace requires 15,000 Monster Dance points, then its separate Harvest action.
  • The twins count as two; the completion ceremony needs 21 in the jar, despite there being 22 souls in the current collection.
  • Return to the Foyer, not the Crypt, for Soul Collection Complete. Secret Passage provides a quick return.
  • Friday's ordinary portrait, Talk and the automatic Ghostly Barriers scene use South Stairs / Attic Stairwell. The automatic scene requires The Soul Jar first.
  • Friday has no separate worker, resort, date or personal H2H menu beyond the crypt encounter and mansion content documented here.
