In the Roblox horror game 7 Days Cat Sitting (or 7 Days Cat-Sitting), taking care of Whiskers often gets interrupted by bizarre and unsettling occurrences. One anomaly that players frequently search for is the peek a boo dude, officially referred to in community guides as the Tall Man or the tall hallway figure.
This entity is directly tied to the in-game badge ending Peek a boo. Depending on whether you want to survive the week or deliberately fail to collect every badge, here is everything you need to know about spotting, handling, and testing this hallway encounter based on available game data and walkthroughs.
Identifying the Hallway Anomaly
While completing your daily chores—such as scooping the litter box, feeding Whiskers, or collecting the mail—an anomaly can trigger inside the house.
- Visual cue: A tall, gangly figure suddenly appears standing in the corridor.
- Threat level: If left alone before you go to sleep, the figure will visit your character overnight, terminating the run and awarding the bad ending.
This event is distinct from other visual threats in the game, such as the pale face staring through the glass (which belongs to the I see you route) or Granny knocking on the front door.
How to Deal with the Tall Figure (Survival Route)
If you are aiming for the Cannon Good Ending by surviving all seven days, you must resolve the hallway figure before going to bed.
According to community walkthroughs, the solution requires a quick reaction with your utility tools:
- Pull out your in-game phone: Open the phone tool when you spot the tall man in the hallway.
- Take a photo: Aim the camera directly at the figure and take a picture.
- Confirm disappearance: The photograph causes the tall figure to disappear immediately.
- Double-check the corridor: Ensure the hallway is completely clear before heading to your bedroom to sleep.
Taking a picture and sending it to the cat's owner is also the game's general mechanic for getting hints regarding strange events, though directly photographing this specific entity serves as the banishing mechanic.
How to Unlock the Peek a Boo Ending Badge
7 Days Cat-Sitting features 24 badges listed on its official Roblox experience page, mostly consisting of failure outcomes from mismanaged chores or ignored entities. The Peek a boo badge requires you to intentionally leave this entity unresolved.
To test this ending branch cleanly:
- Complete all normal daily tasks: Feed Whiskers, scoop the litter box, fill the laser pointer play meter, check the mailbox, lock the front door, and heat and eat your microwave dinner.
- Spot the tall figure: Wait for the tall man to spawn in the hallway.
- Do not use the phone: Leave the figure completely undisturbed. Do not snap a photo.
- Isolate the hazard: Make sure no other dangerous events are active at the same time (such as leaving the stove on, leaving the fridge open, or forgetting to close the blinds during the Void event). The game prioritizes endings unpredictably when multiple hazards overlap.
- Go to sleep: Interact with the bed to trigger the nighttime transition.
Following the night sequence, the tall figure will visit you, triggering the failure sequence and unlocking the Peek a boo badge.
Comparison: Hallway Figure vs. Other House Anomalies
Because several entities visit the house during the week, it helps to track how the hallway anomaly differs from other household threats:
| Entity / Anomaly | Appearance / Trigger | Required Survival Action | Associated Ending Badge |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Tall Man | Tall, gangly figure standing in the hall | Take a photo with the in-game phone | Peek a boo |
| Window Looker | Pale face gazing through the window | Close the curtains or blinds | I See You |
| Granny | Old woman peering and knocking at the door | Stay away from hallways until knocking stops | Granny Is Here |
| Toilet Monster | Human head sticking out of the toilet bowl | Flush the toilet | Down the Drain |
| Human Cat | Whiskers appears with a human head | Stare directly at the cat for a few seconds | Not My Cat! |
Official Data vs. Community Guides
The developer, HELP ME PLEASE studios, tracks Peek a boo as one of 24 official badges on the Roblox platform. However, the game page does not provide explicit in-game instructions for triggering or resolving the event. The steps involving the phone camera and the overnight visitation are documented through player testing and verified walkthroughs from sources like Gamezebo and community wikis.
