The Museum Mode (Walkthrough and Codes)

[BlueCat]

I've written a guide for the Museum mode, but I cannot post it here as a guide, since I don't own the game on steam (I've been playing it on Xbox)
So you can have it here instead.
I hope it'll help someone.

All the relevant codes are at the very end of the post, in case you want only instructions without the answer when reading the guide. Or if you want to skip the guide and just get those codes.


PART ONE: Outside

It's pretty straightforward to ease you up for the scavenger hunt.
From the starting point where you get the photo checklist, first turn around and leave the property through the driveway. You'll see Leatherface posing on the main road. Swap his clothes two times, until he's wearing a purple suit and take a photo of him, that's the first thing of the checklist.

As you're going back to the starting point, look to the right, you'll see some sheds in the field. In between them there's a chair, with a severed leg and a few skeleton arms attached to it. That's your second photo op.

Now, go back to the starting point, you'll see a pickup truck parked in front of the house, check the licence plate, it's the code for the barn* that's to the left of the main building. After opening it, you can take a photo of the chicken inside.

Past the barn is the car graveyard, the last relevant location for the scavenger hunt. One of the sheds in there has a wind chime made of bones hanging at the entrance, rather large and noticeable, that's the melody from the checklist that you're looking for.

Go a little further in to get to the broken cars and look around. You're looking for a pick-up truck, you'll know which one you need because it has a hand attached to the steering wheel.
Once you find it, take a photo of its licence plate.

With the checklist completed, go back to where you got it and you'll receive a stamp.
On the stamp there's a number which is a code unlocking the fron door**
Go inside the house and you'll find another checklist to complete.


PART TWO: The house

It's a little easier to get lost in the building, but all the rooms are rather small and snuggly. You should be able to see all the relevant pieces once you enter any room and look around properly.

First, in the living room, look at the fireplace.
There are feet sticking out right above the fire, that's the Kris(py) Kringle himself. Take a photo of him. That was the easiest part.

I'm sure you'll notice some of the other photo ops right away as you walk around, the skull wall and the dinner table. But taking photos of the won't work. They're missing some pieces.
The items are scattered all around the house, some hidden in the wardrobes, so check everywhere (beware of a couple of scare jumps as you do) and when you find a relevant item, remember to add it to your inventory, just looking at it won't do so automatically.

You're looking for:
3 skulls
4 licence plates
4 photos
An arm
Two sets of plates with food
A severed chicken head

Photos:
One you'll find Hitchhiker's room, you'll see a bathroom with red light and photos plastered all over the wall, ignore it, the photos you need are scattered in the room itself, and on the other side of said room, there's a rope where you have to place them in correct sequence.
The sequence is telling a story, so from left to right it's the victims' car breaking down, them finding the house, Leatherface capturing them (which was already there,) victims' getting tortured and the last one is of some mysterious meat on a plate.

Licence Plates:
When you'll see a room with a bunch of license plates on the walls, look around, in the same room you'll find a couple of them on the floor and tables. Once you have them all, you have to place them on the correct spots on the wall.
Behind you there'll be a map with a few states stabbed by knives. Remember the positions of those states, and place the plates from those states on the spots that would replicate its location on the map. Once you'll do that, not only you'll get the photo op unlocked, but the light shining on the licence plates will reveal a code for Grandpa's room***

Grandpa:
Right if front of grandpa's room there's a severed arm laying on the floor. Pick it up.
After inputting the code from the other puzzle and getting inside, give the arm to grandpa and take a photo of it.

Dinner Table:
Next to the table there's a photo of the dinner scene, but the characters sitting at the table right now are in the wrong places, swap them around until it matches with the photo, and then place the missing items.
The chicken head, which goes on the far end of the table, is in the room right next to the dining room, the one with feathers all over the floor. Meanwhile the plates are upstairs, one in the room with photos, the other in the room with licence plates. It says in the inventory which plates are whose so just place them in frot of the relevant characters. After you placed everything correctly, you can take the photo.

Skull Wall:
The skulls are even more straightforward.
Once again there's a photo right next to it, so just place the specific skulls where they're supposed to be. One of them is downstairs, on a table with bloody body parts. The other two are hidden in wardrobes upstairs.

After you get everything, you'll get a stamp of a soda bottle on your checklist. You might've seen a vending machine upstairs in the attic. To the left of the stairs.
If you open it up and take out a bottle, you'll see a number engraved on it. That's the code you need to get to the basement****,
By the way, even if you know the code ahead of the time, the door won't open until you actually complete the checklist.


PART THREE: The basement

Only four photos in here, it should go fairly quickly.

First of all you have to assemble some body parts on a table. Right next to the table is a freezer with a pig head in it. On the opposite side of the lair is a chest with a leg, another leg a little bit further in the bathroom, Then go a little bit farther, past the bathroom,to the right into the rear basement, in a wardrobe there's a arm with a knife attached.
Before you go back to assemble the body, in the room with knife-arm there's a grandfather clock with a cleaver stuck in it, that's one of your photo ops.

Back in the Leatherface Lair, there's a dried up hand hanging on one of the ceiling meat hooks. Grab it and put it in the meat grinder in the storage room (past the rear basement) for another item off your list.

Now all that's left is some snacks from a freezer in the cold room. Unfortunately they're under lock.*****
The hint for the code is written on the freezer:
Bones, Bracelet, cast and Body.
Everything is in the room.
The bones are on the floor, placed in a way to form a number.
The bracelet is an arm on the wall, showing a couple of fingers that you have to count.
The cast is the severed leg in a cast with missing toes, count how many are remaining.
The body is posed in a specific way, same idea as the bones.
Take a photo of your frozen surprise, and now with everything done, go get the stamp.
The stamp shows a chainsaw.
Go either through the east tunnel or through the lair corridor. You'll find a chained up blue gates and a room with chainsaws on display close by.
Check how many times each chainsaw revs up and you'll have your code for the gate******.

There are some other items to find nearby, honestly, I'm not too sure what they're for...
But considering that they're a human head and a skull, I think they were supposed to be there to trick you in the body-building segment?

Anyway, you've done everything, so unless you want to explore some more and learn trivia, go through the tunnel and with the one final surprise waiting for you, you'll reach the end!
The Museum mode is now complete!

Photo exhibits mode, where you can go throughout the same map you just did, but with character models placed in cool/iconic scenes, that you can take photos of.
