Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Notes — All Locations & How to Find Them

I fell through a vent and landed in a corridor that smelled of ozone and old plastic. In the grit and glow, a single folded note sat like a key under a loose floorboard. I picked it up, and half the chapter rearranged itself in my head.

The hallway before Lovebraids’ house looks ordinary: crooked posters, a low hum from a power bank, and a Playtime box shoved into a corner. From there, the notes in Chapter 5 map the story—little witness statements, lab scraps, and children’s things that change how you read every room.

I’ve logged the collection so you don’t have to fumble. Right now I have 29 of 35 notes. They’re listed in the order you can find them during normal progression, with the objective tied to each one and a short, sharp pointer to the location.

Where are all the notes in Poppy Playtime Chapter 5?

If you want every scrap, follow the objectives. I pair each note to the main or sub objective that makes it visible so you can sweep rooms without backtracking. Think of this as a checklist that keeps you moving forward instead of hunting blind.

Can you get notes after the chapter ends?

Yes. If you miss the final note in the IT room, you can hit Continue from the main menu and pick it up later. I recommend searching the server room before you activate the backup—otherwise you’ll have to resume.

After the first Huggy Wuggy chase you drop out of the ventilation shaft. Turn around as soon as the autosave clicks and you’ll spot this note within arm’s reach. It’s one of those instant clarifiers—read it right away.

Once the objective appears, stack the small, medium, and large Playtime boxes by pulling with both GrabPack hands to reach the top-right cubby. The spot is lit with a yellow glow opposite your path forward; don’t skip it because it’s off the beaten route.

Flip the Outimals area power so the spotlights silence the creatures and give you a safe walk. Climb over the talking Outimal in the Playtime box, drop down, turn left, and check the floor by the crib; the note rests there.

Giblet tells you about the Boiler Room—then you can pick this off his bed, marked with the number 21. It’s a small piece but it points to later technologies you’ll handle.

L.P. Journal Entry

Note on small table at back of IT server room — Screenshot by Moyens I/O

Objective: Find the Backup
Sub Objective: N/A

Check the back of the IT server room before you activate the backup. If you miss this note and power the computer, you’ll need to continue from the main menu to pick it up. Don’t rush the server racks—scan every table.

I write this as someone who’s walked the halls in Steam and console playthroughs and compared notes with streams on Twitch and clips on YouTube. If you’re tracking collectibles on Windows PC, Xbox, or PlayStation, these pointers save time and grief—especially when you only need one or two to complete the chapter’s story thread.

If you want to chase the remaining six notes, treat each room like a slow sweep and follow objectives; the game positions them to reward careful players. This guide pulls the path into tidy steps, but the real prize is the small reveals the notes stack into—scraps that change who you think Lily Lovebraids is and what Prototype’s Kryptonite might mean.

Collecting everything feels a bit like following a breadcrumb trail through a haunted house—every scrap nudges the narrative forward, and every miss costs you a piece of the story. After you finish, which note will change the way you look at the whole experiment?
