How to Unlock Basement/Below

To unlock the Basement/Below, you need to purchase the Golden Cushion (Secret Room). You will find the Golden Cushion as the final item in the section with the I.C.U Cushion. The Golden Cushion costs 8,640 wood to build and will take 10 hours to complete building. Once the Golden Cushion has finished building, make sure there is no cat sitting on the cushion. You then need to tap the Golden Cushion which then lifts up to reveal a hidden Golden Key--tap the Golden Key to collect it.

Once you have collected the Golden Key, you will automatically unlock the Secret Room which is the Basement/Below area. You will see a small door has appeared at the bottom of your house towards the back of the front steps. To see inside the Basement/Below, just tap on the Basement/Below door. This will then reveal the area. While you are viewing the Basement/Below area of the house, the Ground Floor area is no longer fully visible. To switch back to the Ground Floor, just tap the small arrow located on the steps. You can tap the arrow or door to switch between these 2 areas as regularly as you like.

Opening the Basement/Below area will give you a selection of new furniture items to build for this area. When the Basement/Below door is closed, it is indicating that you currently have no Basement/Below cats visiting. When you see the Basement/Below door is open with a light shining outwards, that means you have cats visiting the area. Cats will only start to visit your Basement/Below area once you have built the correct combination of furniture items that the cats require.
