Crime Scene Cleaner Walkthrough – All secrets & collectibles
Each chapter in Crime Scene Cleaner has secrets and collectibles to find. Generally, you can gradually get the achievements as you progress, but there are some which cannot be obtained outside of specific chapters.
Chapter 0: Bad Call
- Secrets: 3
- Cassette Tapes: 3
The first Chapter acts as the tutorial of Crime Scene Cleaner, where you can learn how to clean and get rid of any evidence. It starts with you getting a phone call from your friend’s son Tyler, who has found himself in a bit of a mess.
When you enter the building, you need to find the apartment key to get inside. This is located under a box on the shelf which is on the right side of the door. Pick up the key and unlock the door, and you can start cleaning.
The first piece of evidence is a phone on the floor in the lounge. Make sure to collect it by pressing E after you pick it up, otherwise it won’t be logged.
The second piece of evidence is another phone you can find on the shelf in the dining room, before you enter the kitchen. The kitchen is also where you’ll find your first body, and the third piece of evidence is a knife which is lodged in the body itself.
Achievement: This is How We Do It
Wash off your first blood stain
Look for the fourth piece of evidence on the windowsill in the kitchen. Once you’re done cleaning, make sure you enter the room behind the kitchen to find the cash Tyler left for you, which counts as your last piece of evidence.
After you’ve picked up the envelope, look to your right and up to find a trapdoor that’s leaking blood. Pull the string, and you’ll find the second body that tumbles down.
Go up the stairs, and you’ll find a secret attic that wasn’t initially mentioned in the mission brief. You’ll need to find four more pieces of evidence here and the third and final body.
Achievement: Bitter Sweet Symphony
Play a music cassette for the first time
The first two pieces of evidence, which are collections of some gruesome pictures, can be located on the cork board just ahead of you when you first enter the attic. Once you’ve collected it, look to your left to find a Cassette Tape on the table with the radio.
Go through the room where a bunch of weed is growing to find the third body. Before you take it down, look to your right on a small table to find the second piece of evidence (a camera). The third evidence can be found at the back of this room on a small table as well in the form of the victim’s student card.
Achievement: Dirty Deeds Done Cheap
Get this achievement when you complete the Bad Call mission
Secret #1
The first Secret area can be found when you first enter the building. Go up one flight of stairs and look for an open window with flower pots on the windowsill to your right. Crouch through this window and walk on the railing toward the left.
Land on the roof then turn left immediately to find a little spot someone set up to play cards.
Secret #2
The second secret area can be found from the apartment. In the room across from the bathroom, look for a window with wooden boards and break them. Go through the window and navigate the railing until you reach the construction lift on the other side of the building.
Achievement: Bóbr k*rw@!
Smash wooden boards to get this achievement
Take the lift down and look ahead of you to find another window with wooden boards. Break the boards and enter the window. In this room, you can find a Cassette Tape on the shelf next to the shrine.
Secret #3
To access the last secret area, you need to first find two lucky keys. The first can be found in the hidden apartment, which you can get to by going straight after climbing the first flight of stairs in the building. The key is next to a statue on a small box at the very back of this apartment.
Now, head down to the open area underneath the construction lift you took when you were finding the second secret area. The second lucky key is on a box next to a baseball in this area. Don’t go anywhere, though, as you need to open the gate here with the keys you have found.
Open the gate with the first key, and walk through the new area you’ve found. You’ll come across a second gate which is unlocked with the second key you’ve found. Take the Cassette Tape that’s resting on the heater, and you’ve discovered all secrets in the first mission.
Make sure to grab the fertilizer in this room to get the Strawberry Fields Forever achievement.

Chapter 1: Trial By Blood
- Secrets: 2
- Cassette Tapes: 3
Achievement: Who Let the Dogs Out
Pet Dexter, your dog at home, to get this achievement
This is your first official job for Big Jim, and he’s made a mess of Miko’s Spa & Wellness. When you first enter the building, you won’t be able to move past the main doors ahead of you. Clean up the first room, then head into the men’s bathroom.
Here you’ll see a bunch of lockers that you won’t be able to open yet, but you can get into the main building by going through the second door past the shower.
Two pieces of evidence can be found along the pool: a cellphone and an ice pick. To drain the pool, you need to go through the door that needs to be hacked to be opened. Hacking is a fairly simple process; you just need to press the numbers indicated at the bottom when the line crosses them at the top.
Once you’re in this room, turn the wrenches attached to the pipes on the right of the wall and then press the button on the electric box. This will drain the pool. Before you leave, grab the Cassette Tape which is lying on the desk with the computer.
The third piece of evidence, a gun, is in the pool. Once you’ve cleaned up this area, you can find the fourth piece of evidence in the relaxation room to the right of the main room – a pizza cutter.
The last few pieces of evidence can only be found if you collect all of the member cards to open the lockers we mentioned previously. Here is where to find them all:
- Member Card 1: In the first open locker in the men’s bathroom.
- Member Card 2: On the floor in the main relaxation room, near the front door.
- Member Card 3: On a towel stack in the room with the pizza cutter victim.
- Member Card 4: Inside the pool, sticking out of the vent.
- Member Card 5: In the pink room to the right of the main room, next to a towel stack.
- Member Card 6: On the floor in the Steam room.
Once you’ve collected all the cards, make sure to open the lockers in both the men’s and women’s bathrooms. You’ll find a Handgun, Business Card, and a Recording. You’ll also find a Cassette Tape in one of the lockers.
Achievement: Relax, Take it Easy
Get this achievement by completing the Trial by Blood mission.
Secret #1
If you open all the lockers, you’ll also come across a VIP Member Card. Once you’ve got it, go back to the room where you drained the pool and look on the wall next to the desk. You’ll see a ‘VIP’ marker, and you can interact with it now.
After interacting with it, you’ll get the Gold on the Ceiling achievement. Head back to the pool area and you’ll see a new room has opened that wasn’t there before, toward the back of the room. In here, you can find another Cassette Tape, the last Locker Card, and a bunch of valuables to take for yourself.
Secret #2
With the Locker Card you found in the VIP room, you can now open the last locker in the women’s room. It contains some money and a poster.
Achievement: Trial by Blood
Complete the Trial by Blood mission with a perfect score
Chapter 2: Toxic Love
- Secrets: 1
- Cassette Tapes: 2
This is one of the smaller areas of the map, but you need to do some investigating to open up all the rooms. Firstly, though, head to the kitchen and grab the first piece of evidence (a cellphone) on the counter.
The second piece of evidence are some knuckle dusters lying on the floor beneath the dripping blood. To open up the whole room, look to the left of where you found this evidence and seek out a large painting. Get close to it and interact with it, as it’s a secret little room with another body.
This room is also where you’ll find the electric box. Click on it to power up the whole apartment, and any doors that were previously locked will now be open. Make sure to grab the third piece of evidence, a notebook, from the desk on the left of the doorway.
Achievement: What I’ve Done
Destroy 30 objects
Before you go to the first floor, look for the first Cassette Tape on a shelf toward the back of the ground floor. It’s next to the living room on the left hand side.
Head upstairs and look on the walkway to find the fourth evidence, a cellphone, and the fifth, a gun, in the landing on the far side of the floor.
The sixth and last piece of evidence can be found next to the bathtub in the bathroom on the first floor. It’s covered in blood, so it may be difficult to spot at first. You can also find the second Cassette Tape next to the radio that’s playing behind the tub.
Achievement: Can You Feel My Heart
Get this achievement for completing the Toxic Love mission.
Secret #1
The only secret on this level, you can find it in the room where you switched the power on (the hidden painting room). Look for the chair that’s facing a painting on the wall, and interact with the painting to move it and reveal a safe.
You need to do some hacking to get into the safe, and once you’re in, you’ll find some valuables and cash to take home for yourself. You’ll also get the Get Lucky achievement.
Achievement: Toxic Love
Complete the Toxic Love mission with a perfect score
Chapter 3: Short Circuit
- Secrets: 2
- Cassette Tapes: 2
This chapter in Crime Scene Cleaner is very much inspired by a haunted house, so be wary of a few scares as you make your way through the level.
When you first enter, look behind you and find a chair with a flower pot next to it. There’s a speaker next to the pot, and it’s your first piece of evidence.
Achievement: Happy Together
Pet Dexter 15 times
Go upstairs and start cleaning, and you should see the second piece of evidence lying on the floor – a crucifix. Go right and to the end of the corridor, and you’ll find a second speaker behind some boxes as well.
You can find the next piece of evidence in the room straight across the staircase, it’s a cellphone that’s resting on the cabinet next to the bed. Next, head to the first room on the left of the corridor and find another speaker on the floor next to the cabinet on the left.
This is the same room where you need to delete the surveillance footage. To do so, you need to hack the computer and delete all the files that appear. Next, head into the last room on the right to find a shotgun on the floor under the chair and a Cassette Tape next to the radio.
Go to the last room on this floor and pick up the key to the living room on the table in front of the water tap. Before you leave, go to the back of this room and look for another speaker that’s hiding inside the left locker.
Now that you have the key, you can unlock the door to the living room on the ground floor. When you enter, you’ll find a Roomba drawing a pentagram, and you need to punch it to make it stop. The next piece of evidence can be found in the body you find in this room.
There’s a recorder on the floor toward the left of the room, and you can find another speaker behind the cabinet on the right of the room. Lastly, there’s another speaker behind some liquor bottles in the cat room.
Achievement: Technical Difficulties
Get this achievement by completing the Short Circuit mission
Secret #1
When you’re on the first floor, look for a lamp that you can interact with on the left side wall of the corridor. Pull it, and it will reveal a secret room at the end of the corridor. You’ll find some cash and valuables in here to take home with you, plus the Another Brick in the Wall achievement.
Before you leave, go back into the room where you found the shotgun and the first Cassette Tape. A second Cassette Tape will appear here, also next to the radio.
Secret #2

Achievement: Short Circuit

Chapter 4: Italian Job
- Secrets: 3
- Cassette Tapes: 3
When you first enter the pizzeria, head to the bathroom where the water tap is. Your first piece of evidence is here, a gun, and an homage to a certain McRoyale-loving character in the bathroom stall. Fill up your bucket, and start cleaning the main restaurant first.
There are three pieces of evidence in the restaurant; a cellphone in the main area, a frying pan in the kitchen, and a notebook on the kitchen counter. More importantly, be sure to pick up the freezer key in the pizza oven.
There’s also a mysterious “Unknown” key you can find in a drawer in the kitchen. We’ll get to that in a bit, but just grab it for now and head to the freezer. You’ll find a couple of tools and a recorder on the floor as evidence in this room.
Now, it’s time to move on to the main office, which is next to the freezer. There’s a cellphone on the desk, a Cassette Tape on the cabinet behind the desk, and a “Family Bingo” list on the corkboard which you need to pick up.
If you’re struggling to find the last piece of furniture in this room, it’s likely the globe. You can find it in a bin which is behind the door. Once this room is clear, don’t forget that you need to go outside and clean up Big Jim’s mess there too.
Achievement: Supermassive Black Hole
Pick up 100 pieces of trash
You can get there through the door in the office. Go to the end of the alleyway next to the gate where your truck is to find the first body and piece of evidence in this area. The second body is a little trickier to get to, but you need to go back to the other side of the alley to find it.
Getting to Granny’s apartment, where the body is located, is a matter of doing some platforming until you reach it. You can step on the garbage bin and climb up the pipes to the window from there. There’s no evidence or collectibles in this room, so all you need to worry about is cleaning.
Achievement: Gangsta’s Paradise
Get this achievement by completing the Italian Job mission
Secret #1
Before leaving the alleys, go back to where you found the first body. You can see a couple of crates stacked against the wall on the far side. You’ll need a ladder to climb onto the boxes, but if you don’t have one yourself, you can find one in the alley.
Climb up the crates and over the wall to find the secret and unlock the Rock and Roll All Nite achievement. Check on the speaker toward the right of the drum set to find a Cassette Tape.
Secret #2
Go back to the office and look behind the shelves, where all the boxes are lying on the floor. There’s a trapdoor underneath these boxes that you can unlock with the Unknown Key you found earlier. Here, you can find some valuables and get the Treasure achievement.
Go downstairs and look for a Cassette Tape next to the cabinet with the Radio on it, next to one of the Poker tables.
Secret #3
On the far side of the alley where you found Granny’s Apartment, look for another door next to the tap. Go through this door and follow the path until you reach and entrance blocked by wooden boards. Punch these boards and go through the entrance to find the final secret of this level.
Achievement: Italian Job
Complete the Italian Job mission with a perfect score
Chapter 5: Affair with Death
- Secrets: 3
- Cassette Tapes: 4
The first Cassette Tape for this mission is automatically added to your music collection when you start, so before you worry about not finding a fourth, it’s already been found.
Now, before you reach the pool in this chapter, turn right to find a couple of doors and a workshop you can’t enter yet. Go through the doors and switch the pool pump to drain the pool. Now, go into it, and you’ll find the workshop key underneath the body.
Once you’ve cleaned up, return to where you switched the pump and open up the workshop. You’ll find a recorder on the table in here and you’ll be able to switch on the power so you can get into the main house.
As you enter the house, look right to find a Cassette Tape on the TV stand with astronauts on it. Once you’ve grabbed that, you can find the first piece of evidence in the kitchen next to the body.
Head down to the basement. The door is at the back of the kitchen, and you’ll find four more pieces of evidence and the second body down here. There’s not much to clean, so when you’re done, head back upstairs to the ground floor.
Achievement: Oops!…I Did It Again
Tip the water bucket over 15 times
The next piece of evidence can be found in the bedroom next to the staircase. It’s on the desk with the laptop, which is also what you’ll need to use to scrap the surveillance. Before leaving, look for a Cassette Tape on the dresser next to the bed. You can also head into the wardrobe to find some money and valuables.
On the first floor, head right and look for a cellphone on the floor in front of the bedroom door as your first piece of evidence. The second is an axe which you can find inside the bedroom, and you can find the second Cassette Tape on the dresser in here.
Clean upstairs, and then head into the bathroom to find a key resting on the toilet.
Achievement: Bad Romance
Get this achievement by completing the Affair with Death mission
Secret #1
Once you’re done cleaning inside, go downstairs and to the first living room. On your left, you’ll find a door to the laundry that was previously locked. They key you found on the toilet opens this door, and you’ll find some valuables inside.
Secret #2
Head outside and look for the basketball court next to the swimming pool. While you’re here, throw a ball into the net to get the Basket Case achievement. Climb on the ledge next to the stairs leading up and out of the court, then turn left and head into the garden.
Go straight until you can’t anymore, and you’ll find a corner with some valuables to steal.
Secret #3
In the basement behind where you found the body, there are some stacked boxes which you can move to find a secret entryway to another part of the basement. You’ll find some cash in here, which will also grant you the “Money for Nothing” achievement.
Achievement: Affair with Death
Complete the Affair with Death mission with a perfect score
Chapter 6: Friendly Fire
- Secrets: 2

Tyler’s apartment is small, so there isn’t too much to find and do here. When you arrive, go to the kitchen straight ahead and look for a Cassette Tape on the food shelf behind the door.
Clean up the kitchen and bathroom areas, then head to the living room to find your first piece of evidence – a cellphone lying on the carpet. The second piece of evidence is also a cellphone, and can be found in the music room on the far side of the apartment next to the bathroom.
Achievement: While my Guitar Gently Weeps

In this room, you can also find a Cassette Tape in the section where the keyboard is standing, on the desk. It’s next to a recorder, which gives you a little more insight into Tyler’s story.

Achievement: Friendly Fire
Complete the Friendly Fire mission with a perfect score
Chapter 7: Party’s Over
- Secrets: 2
- Cassette Tapes: 3
When you first arrive and before you enter the main area, look behind you and find a garbage bin. There’s a crossbow someone threw away in here that’s the first piece of evidence, and there’s also some blood to clean up.
The second piece of evidence can be found near the firepit, underneath a bench that’s been turned over. Clean the bench, put it back in place and grab the phone. Next, head over to the cabins. This is a section by itself, and you’re going to have to do some parkour to unlock all the buildings.
Achievement: Fight For Your Right (To Party)
Pop 30 balloons
Go to the cabin on the right first to find a body and the third piece of evidence. When you’re done, look for a camera on a tripod next to this cabin (on the left in the little walkway). When you’ve picked it up, head inside the first cabin and go to the back in the bathroom to find a Cassette Tape, then go up the stairs.
When you get upstairs, go left and onto the balcony. Look across to see an open window in the second cabin. Cross the railings and jump into the window from here. This is how you get into the second cabin, where you can find some evidence, bodies, and valuables.
For the third cabin, you need to find an opening on the right side of the fence. Walk along it until you reach an opening that’s been boarded up, then break the boards by punching them. Head inside the cabin and clean up the bodies and find the recorder on the workbench.
When you’re done on the bottom floor, go back outside and turn right and head around the cabin. You’ll see a tree with some yellow boards you can climb on, and this is how you get upstairs and find two more bodies in the last cabin.
The rest of this level is fairly straightforward. You’ll find two crossbow bolts (evidence) in the body against the wall in the living room, but also make sure to grab the Cassette Tape on the TV stand. There’s a piece of furniture here that may be difficult to spot, but remember to look up at the light to find it.
Another crossbow bolt can be found in the room next to the bathroom, and you’ll find your last piece of evidence in the kitchen on the counter.
Achievement: Smells Like Teen Spirit
Get this achievement by completing the Party’s Over mission

Chapter 8: Modern Art
- Secrets: 2
- Cassette Tapes: 4
Modern Art is the penultimate chapter of Crime Scene Cleaner, and there’s a lot to do as it’s the biggest level in the entire game. To complete it 100%, you need to find all the misplaced art, secrets, collectibles, and clean as normal.
When you first enter the level, clean up the Yellow and Red Rooms in the East Wing. You can find a Cassette Tape on the table on the far side of the Red Room. This room is going to require some parkour work to get all the blood cleaned, as some of the hanging furniture have blood spatter on them.
Once you’re doing, head to the West Wing. It’s separated into two sections, Music and History, and we’re going to start with the Music room. You can clean the main area normally, but you’ll have to go through the carpeted room which is between the Music and History rooms in the West Wing.
Go straight through the carpeted room and toward the back, and continue following the path until you reach a door. Open it, and you’ll find yourself on the stage. You can continue further on to find a second door to open straight into the Music room. Before you leave, make sure to pick up the Cassette Tape that’s lying on the stage floor.
There’s only one piece of evidence in the West Wing, which can be found lodged in the body you find in the History section. It’s lying across the Lion statue.
Now, it’s time to head to the Central Exhibit (the area you first start in). Once you reach the T-Rex statue, turn left and find a piece of evidence lying in front of a body. Clean up this area, then head to the right side of the Central Exhibit to find a door exhibition.
Achievement: Money, Money, Money
Steal $50,000 (tracked over the course of the game)
The North Exhibit is split into three sections, and we’re going to start on the right side with the Duck Room. There are two pieces of evidence in this room alongside two bodies. While you’re here, look for a staircase at the back of the room. You can climb the stairs and follow the path to get to another body hanging from the door exhibit.
You can also find a Cassette Tape in this corridor. Once you’re done cleaning up, head to the other side of the exhibit called the Dark Room.
In the Dark Room, you’ll find a Roomba making a mess, and just like the haunted house chapter you’re going to have to punch it to stop it. Before you clean, you can follow the blood path the Roomba has left to find another body with a piece of evidence lodged into it (a shield).
Lastly, head to the room that’s located between the Dark Room and the Duck Room. You’ll find toy gun in here (as evidence) and another body.
To get upstairs, backtrack to the left side of the Central Exhibit and keep left, you’ll see staircase leading upstairs. This will take you to the Upper Exhibition area. Follow the pathway until you reach the VIP area, and keep left and go down the stairs to reach the Cafeteria. You’ve unlocked the whole museum now!
For ease, look at the tables below for references on where you can find each misplaced art piece and where it belongs.

Secret #1
The first secret can be found in the Dark Room maze. Follow the maze along the side where you found the body in this room, and you should reach a room with a bunch of TV’s together. Entering from the basket court side, you can reach the TV’s by going Straight > right > left > left > right > straight.
You need to change their colors to a specific order, which we’ve indicated in the image below. Once the colors have been correctly entered, a hidden door will open next to them. Walk through the room to the very end to pick up a special weapon and unlock the Rage against the Machine achievement.
When you leave this room, you’ll find someone offering you a Cassette Tape as well.
Secret #2
In the Music Exhibit, look to the wall next to the stage and you’ll see a golden Cassette Tape at the very top. You need to lower the doors of the display cases below it and climb up using these doors.
Once you reach the top, interact with the Golden Cassette Tape and a secret door with open next to the wall. Use the same display case to cross into this room, where you can find some valuables.

Chapter 9: Call in Dead
- Secrets: 5
- Cassette Tapes: 4
The final mission of Crime Scene Cleaner is a long one in a giant warehouse, but the first thing you’re going to want to do when you arrive is switch on the power. Go up the stairs from the parking garage and open the doors. When inside, turn right and look for the large area that says ‘Power.’
Go down the stairs, and turn left immediately to find another path to follow. Down the stairs again, you’ll find the generator. Turn it on, and now you can start cleaning.
Head back up the stairs, but stay in this area and look for a truck that has open doors with blood spatters on it. You’ll find your first body and evidence in this truck.
Once you’re done, you can head back to the main doors where you first entered. There are two more bodies and another piece of evidence on the floor in this area. Clean it up and head upstairs to the Colorful Room.
It’s a real mess in there, but it’s a little less overwhelming when you realize that you just need to color-coordinate the crates with the shelves. So, blue crates go on blue shelves, green on green, and so forth. Once this area is cleaned up, the bottom floor is all done.
To get to the next floor of the warehouse, jump on the conveyor belt and follow it all the way up. You’ll eventually come across a door with a body caught under it and a Conveyor Belt Keycard you need to pick up.
From where you found the body, follow the pathway until you see a white door on your left. Go through that door, and you’ll find yourself in the control room. You’ll come back here often, as it contains the controls for the conveyor belt, crane, elevator, hatches, and lights. If you ever get confused about which card powers what, you can refer to any of the colorful posters on the walls around the Warehouse.
Achievement: Smooth Operator
Complete a mission without breaking any objects or creating any new stains
Put the Conveyor Belt Keycard in the mechanism and look to your right to find a hackable door. Open it, and you’ll find the Hatch Keycard. Once you’ve entered it in the mechanism and switched it on, you can enter the Sorting Room.
The Sorting Room can be entered through where you found the body under the Hatch door and you can find the Elevator Keycard on the box in the middle of the room. Make sure to open the Hatches as well (with the Keycard), because you can throw garbage bags and bodies on the conveyor belt and they’ll land straight into your truck.
To open up the last area of the Warehouse, slot the Elevator Keycard into the mechanism and switch it on. Remember, though, that you can only have three machines powered at once, otherwise the power will trip. If this happens, simply switch the generator back on.
Once the Elevator is powered, hop inside and travel to the second floor. Go straight and right to find the office, which contains some more evidence and a Cassette Tape next to the radio. Once you’re done, head back the way you came, but instead turn right at the open door.
You’ll find yourself on a walkway just above a large open space. To your left is a ladder you can go down, and to your right is a large crane. Go down the ladder first to find the Crane Keycard next to one of the bodies in this area. Look for a metal container alongside the wall and go inside to find another Cassette Tape.
Finish cleaning up, then head back to the Elevator and to the Control Room. Enter the Crane Keycard, power it up, and make your way up to the second floor again. You’ll be able to use the Crane now to lift one of the metal containers and make your way across it to the other side.
Before you start cleaning, turn around and open the container you just lifted with the Crane. Inside, you’ll find more evidence to figure out what’s going on in the story. Make sure to do this with all the containers in the area, because they have more evidence and valuables for you to find.
Now you can clean up, pick up the remaining evidence and bodies in this area, and you should be all done.
Achievement: Killing in the Name
Get this achievement by completing the Call in Dead mission
Secret #1
While you’re in the last area with all the metal containers, look for a blue one that you can open. Inside, you’ll find a key. This key opens the locked door you may have tried to open in the Sorting Room.
Now that you can open it, you’ll find a Cassette Tape and quite a few valuables you can steal for extra money.
Secret #2
Head back to the control room and look for the lockers near the white door you entered at first. Using either your ladder or a chair from the room, you can climb onto these lockers and follow the vents straight ahead of you. Turn right, jump on the pipes, and open the grate with your axe or sword.
Jump down to find Zack’s room, which doesn’t have very much in it, but you’ll get the Lookin’ Out My Back Door achievement for doing so.
Secret #3
Now it’s time to go all the way down to the ground floor again. Start moving toward where you switched the power on, but before you go downstairs, look for a pile of crates and boxes you. Climb up onto these boxes and follow the path until you reach the end of it.
Here you’ll find some valuables and a book, and you’ve unlocked the third secret to find.
Secret #4
Head down to the Power room and look for a door that has a cutout of a bodyguard next to it. Using the TV Room key you found earlier, you can now unlock this door and head inside.
Achievement: Juke Box Hero
Find all Cassette Tapes
At the back of the room, behind the TV, you’ll find a Cassette Tape on the podium.
Secret #5
The last secret can be found right next to the generator you powered up at the very beginning of the level. Next to the generator is a grate you can break open with your sword.
Once it’s open, crawl inside and follow the vent until you reach another grate. Break this one open too, and you’ll find the last piece of the story regarding the Gardener.

Crime Scene Cleaner Walkthrough – Tips for cleaning
- The mop is mostly useful for wiping up larger messes on floors and walls.
- Use the sponge for cleaning around fragile items, carpets, and smaller stains.
- The bucket is essential for cleaning your mops and sponges when they become soaked with dirt and blood.
- Use detergents to better the overall performance of your tools, like ensuring the can get tougher stains out and taking a shorter amount of time to get soaked.
- The Power Washer is a great tool for large stains on walls and difficult-to-reach higher areas.
- The trash bags can be used to pick up any items you break and other trash. If a bag is full, throw it in the truck or on the blue tarp next to the yellow container (depending on the map you’re on).
- Furniture can’t be moved back in place if it’s not cleaned. You’ll know a piece of furniture is ready to move when a blue light flickers over it.
- If you’re missing anything you can’t find, your Cleaner’s Sense (Q) can point out furniture that’s out of place or any stains still existing.
- Be careful of walking through blood, as you’ll leave new stains you need to clean up.
- Pay attention to the reticle when using the mop or sponge. If it’s completely red, it’s time to take it to the bucket, otherwise you’ll start smearing new blood marks instead of cleaning.
- Don’t be afraid to steal any valuables you find, as it can significantly add to your skill points at the end of the level.
