DONT LET HIM IN Guides Hub

Welcome to the Guides Hub for DONT LET HIM IN on Roblox — the free co-op survival horror experience by dilly dally games. Your job is simple to say and hard to do: keep The Locust (DoctorNowhere design credit; Boiled One / Boy and the Bath also credited) out of the house until morning around 6 AM. Light is your best friend. Doors and windows are liabilities. Power can die at the worst moment. When the creature gets inside, the house darkens and you hide or you lose.

This hub is the map for every how-to on the wiki. Start with the beginner walkthrough if you have never finished a night, then specialize in controls, batteries, power, floodlights, hiding, and common mistakes once you know the loop. For codes, scripts, player roles, and patch notes, use the other hubs linked below — this game has no redeemable codes, so do not waste time hunting fake lists. The place sits past 6.9M+ visits with peak concurrent in the 12k+ range and a 30-player server size; habits below still apply after the early-October 2026 update stamp while Monster Revamp remains the live direction.

Start here

New to the place? Read Getting Started first. It covers joining on any device, what The Locust is (and what this game is not), the win condition, and a first-night checklist so you are not scrambling when a window pops open.

Then lock in inputs with Controls so movement, interact, crouch, and flashlight binds feel automatic on PC, mobile, or console. Pair that with Batteries and Flashlight so scare flashes and dark-room navigation never die mid-pressure.

If you already know the basics but keep dying after midnight, jump to How to Survive. That guide is the full night loop: watching doors and windows, closing breaches, role splits for co-op, flashlight timing, and what to do the second The Locust is inside. After a few failed nights, skim Common Mistakes so you stop repeating the same entrance, power, and hide errors.

Core mechanic deep dives

Light and electricity decide most rounds. Power and Floodlights explains why The Locust does not breach lit areas, how floodlights and house lights shape safe zones, what happens when the breaker or cable fails, when you must go outside to restore power, and how floodlight uptime ties into battery discipline covered on the batteries page.

When prevention fails, survival becomes stealth. Hiding Spots covers closets, the pantry, crouching, staying quiet, when to commit to a hide versus resealing a door, and how teammates should revive and cover while someone is locked in a closet with the house dark.

How these guides fit together

Think of the night as layered. Layer zero is inputs and tools: Controls plus Batteries and Flashlight so you can act under panic. Layer one is setup: spawn, grab batteries, confirm floodlights and breaker access, assign who watches which side of the house — covered in Getting Started and reinforced in How to Survive. Layer two is denial: keep entries closed and keep critical zones lit so The Locust never earns a free breach — that is Power and Floodlights plus the survival loop. Layer three is recovery: if it is inside, lights fail, you hide, you wait, you revive, you reset — that is Hiding Spots plus the end of How to Survive. Layer four is review: Common Mistakes turns failed VODs into a shorter checklist before the next lobby.

Cross-link as you play. A power run that strands you outside is safer if your squad already practiced roles from the survival guide. A closet hide works better if you know which rooms stay dark after a cable cut. Bookmark this hub and return after each failed night; note which layer broke and open that child guide.

Not the same as similarly named games

Roblox has older burglar-style don’t let him in experiences, Don’t Let Her In family horror places, and House of The Locust. This wiki is only for DONT LET HIM IN / [MONSTER REVAMP] DON’T LET HIM IN by dilly dally games — Locust, floodlights, morning win around 6 AM. Tips about Dominus, ex-wives, music boxes, or unrelated Locust manor maps do not apply here.

3. Batteries and Flashlight — keep scare tools charged.

Clear a clean morning once with friends on voice, then push harder roles: solo breaker runs, dedicated window watcher, flashlight bait. Use the FAQs on each child page when a single question is stuck in your head. Survive the night. Do not let him in.
