Editor Reviews
Something is locked in the basement next door, and Hello Neighbor dares players to find out what. This stealth horror adventure from tinyBuild is about breaking into a suspicious neighbour's house, solving puzzles and getting out before he catches you.
The house works like a sandbox. Windows, doors, objects and shortcuts can all be used as part of a plan, so players might sneak in through the backyard, throw items to distract the Neighbor, hide in shadows or stack boxes to reach a new entrance. The Neighbor is driven by adaptive AI that notices habits: keep using the same window and he may trap it, repeat the same escape and he may block it. That means each attempt tends to be harder than the last, and a physics system allows for improvised solutions. The description stresses that the scares come from this cat-and-mouse play rather than scripted jumpscares.
Reception is mixed. The game averages 3.9 from about 549,000 ratings, with 60% five stars and 19% one star. It has 50,000,000+ installs. It is free, shows ads, and offers in-app purchases from $0.99 to $14.99, a modest range. The last update was on 2025-04-15. It needs Android 8.0 or newer and is rated Everyone 10+. We list 9 versions, the newest being a compact 65.8 MB.
Players who enjoy experimenting and outwitting an opponent will like how the house reacts. Those who get frustrated by trial and error, or want a clear, guided story, may give up early.

Frequently asked questions
01 Is Hello Neighbor free?
Yes. Hello Neighbor is listed as free on Google Play and offers in-app purchases ($0.99 - $14.99 per item); it also shows ads.
02 Which Android version does Hello Neighbor need?
The current release requires Android 8.0. If your device is older, one of the 8 earlier versions listed above may still install.
03 How do I install the APK?
Download the file from the version page, open it on your Android device and allow installs from this source when prompted. XAPK bundles need the APKPure app or a split-APK installer (see the install guide in the footer). Always prefer the latest version unless you specifically need an older build.
04 Is the download safe?
Files come from our download library or external sources and are not modified by us. Check the package name (com.tinybuildgames.helloneighbor) and developer before installing.
05 How do I get my account back?
Accounts belong to the developer's own service, not to this site. Use the sign-in recovery option inside Hello Neighbor, or contact tinyBuild through the support address listed on Google Play.
06 How do I cancel a subscription?
Subscriptions bought through Google Play are managed in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions; purchases made inside the app follow the developer's own billing.
07 Can I get a refund?
Appmello never charges for downloads, so there is nothing to refund here. Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Google Play or by the developer. Never enter payment details on any page claiming to be a download step.
08 How do I use Hello Neighbor?
Open the app after installing; it works exactly like the Play Store build. For feature questions see the developer's help pages, as Appmello only distributes the installer.
