That Is NOT My Mom Guides
Sound stealth, table hides, shopping lists, Airport tips, co-op revives, and Roblox-vs-Steam clarity.
Welcome to the Guides Hub for That Is NOT My Mom, the Roblox survival horror experience from TerrifyingTony. You play a little kid lost in a giant store at night. Mom is somewhere inside — but so is a mimic that sounds exactly like her. Your job is to finish Mom’s shopping list, stay quiet enough that the hearing-based threat never pins you down, hide under tables when footsteps close in, and reunite with the real Mom. You can clear runs solo or with up to four friends, reviving each other along the way.
This hub is the map of every practical walkthrough on the wiki. Start with the first-hour guide if you just joined the place, then dig into mimic audio rules, list routing, Chapter 3 Airport, Mom identification, and co-op callouts. Each page is written for search intents players actually type — how to survive, how to finish the list, how to tell fake Mom from real Mom — not filler lore.
Start here if you are new
New to the game? Open Getting Started first. It covers joining the Roblox place, picking a chapter, reading Mom’s shopping list, moving without making noise, diving under tables, finding the real Mom, and the basics of co-op revives. Watch the embedded gameplay clip mid-article if you learn faster from footage, then come back here for specialized deep dives.
If your first death was sprinting past shelves while the mimic called your name, skip straight to Survive the Mimic. That guide explains hearing versus sight, when walking beats running, when a short sprint is worth the risk, baiting patterns, audio tells, and the mistakes that end most early runs.
Core objective guides
The store loop always returns to the list. Shopping List Walkthrough shows how to read Mom’s list, route aisles efficiently, prioritize noisy versus quiet pickups, and what to do the moment the last item checks off. Pair it with Find the Real Mom so you do not walk up to the wrong voice after a clean list clear.
Chapter select matters once newer maps unlock. Chapter 3: The Airport covers the November 2026 Airport live update — new layout, new monster pressure, and how Airport stealth differs from the classic night-store chapter. Use that page when the lobby event banner points you at Chapter 3.
Cover, mistakes, and platform confusion
Official copy tells you to hide under tables — Hide Under Tables explains when to dive, how long to stay, and how to map table clusters before you panic-sprint past cover. Common Mistakes lists the wipe patterns that repeat across solo and co-op (sprint addiction, voice rushing, noisy revives, Airport-too-early). If search results mixed in a Steam house-anomaly game, read Roblox vs Steam Game so you do not apply the wrong rules.
Co-op and party play
That Is NOT My Mom supports online co-op with up to four friends. Co-op Tips assigns simple roles, explains revive etiquette, shows how to call threats without screaming into the mimic’s hearing range, and compares splitting for list speed versus sticking together for safer revives. Read it before a four-stack lobby if your group keeps wiping to stack noise.

Cross-link sibling guides while you play: mimic audio mistakes often show up during list runs, and Airport deaths often come from store habits that no longer fit the new map. When TerrifyingTony ships another chapter or monster tweak, return here — hub links stay the fastest path to the right article.
