Super Human Challenges

Overview

Completed all the achievements? Want even more? Here’s 75+ challenges for you to try. How many can you complete?

What’s in this guide?

If I could add achievements directly into the game, these are what I would add. These challenges aren’t meant to poke holes in the level design or insult the game – quite the opposite actually. The base mechanics of Human Fall Flat are fantastic enough, but in my opinion, the unintended ones are even better. There’s nothing quite like finding a ninja solution to a puzzle or struggling your way into an area you shouldn’t be able to reach!

A few important notes:

• Each challenge has a specific goal, as well as a detailed list of restrictions along the way.
• If a challenge allows only certain exploit techniques, it is still listed as an Exploit challenge. Check the restrictions carefully.
• These challenges were designed for solo play (that said, racing your friends and/or screwing them over along the way is always fun).
• Finally, I have personally confirmed that every challenge is possible. If I didn’t do it myself, it didn’t make it into the list, period.

Labels

These challenges have one of four five frames indicating their difficulty and/or how long it takes to do them. I have written the frame metal, just in case anyone with colour-blindness or other vision issues isn’t able to tell them apart. My decisions about which metal to give each challenge were fairly arbitrary, but here’s what you can expect:

• Bronze: quite easy. Shouldn’t take you long to complete these, although there may be some trick to them that isn’t immediately obvious.
• Silver: a little tricky. Generally requires good technique and/or some thinking, but isn’t too difficult to actually do once you know how to do it.
• Gold: Tough. Usually requires multiple techniques, problem-solving, and/or takes a fairly long time to complete.
• Platinum: Challenging. Requires a lot of effort to complete, and is unforgiving if you make a mistake.
• Titanium: Reserved only for the most exceptionally difficult challenges I can find. I suspect most players will not be able to complete these, so they will be listed as bonus challenges.

The challenges are also labelled as either or .

• Most (not all) Exploit challenges allow you to use whatever twisted climbing techniques you can think of.
• Legit challenges must be done without using any of the exploit techniques I describe in the next section of this guide. Gotta do things legit! In short, if a technique allows you to create height in a way that the game developers didn’t intend, it’s an exploit-only technique. It should be pretty intuitive what’s allowed and what isn’t.

Exploit Techniques and Other Vocabulary

Firstly, to avoid confusion, I’ve been careful about the use of “grab” vs. “touch” in my descriptions. This is probably really obvious, but I’ve included it here anyway:

• “Grab” means exactly what it sounds like: using either or both of your hands to grab hold of something
• “Touch” means any part of your body making contact with something in any way. This includes grabbing, standing, walking, headbutting, etc., as well as using other objects to touch something indirectly.

“Exploit Climbing” includes all of the following techniques (I’m pretty sure I got them all, but use your judgement. Also, I may update this section with some gifs in future):
{

• Swing Climbing: The safe, slow plodding up the wall. While grabbing with one hand, swing from side to side until your reaching hand is higher than your grabbing hand. Grab with your reaching hand and let go with your other hand.
• Swing-Jump Climbing: Launching yourself vertically by swinging. Same as swing-climbing, but release your grabbing hand BEFORE grabbing with your reaching hand.
• Swing Jumping: Launching yourself horizontally by swinging. Same as swing-jump climbing, just aimed differently.
• Starfishing: For climbing horizontally. Let’s assume you’ve grabbed onto a wall and you want to go left. Release your right hand, roll yourself left, and grab the wall again. Your back should be against the wall, and your camera should more or less be IN the wall because of the direction you had to roll. Release your left hand, roll yourself left again, and grab the wall. You’re now at the same height as before, but you’ve now shifted two body-widths left. Continue or mirror as necessary.
• Shuffle Climbing: When you need just a little extra. This technique is the easiest to do, and the hardest to describe in words. Look down and to the left, press forward and left at the same time, then quickly release and regrab with your right hand several times. If done correctly, this will cause your right hand to grab a bit higher than before. Do the same for the left hand; repeat the cycle as necessary until you can swivel your body onto the ledge, then just stand up. This technique only works if you can get your head/torso over the ledge; if you’re too low on the wall to do that, one of the other exploit techniques must be used.
• Stretch Climbing: This is used when trying to scale a steep slope instead of a vertical wall. It works exactly like swing climbing, but your body can’t actually swing because of the terrain in the way. As you attempt to swing, your reaching hand stretches further and further until it can’t, and then you grab with it (possibly releasing your grabbing hand first so your reaching hand sticks).
• Leap Climbing: A risky technique that involves grabbing with both hands, lifting yourself up, then very quickly releasing, reaching, and grabbing higher with both hands before you can fall down. As far as I can tell, it isn’t possible to do this on a vertical wall anymore without using the console command for climbing, but I mention it here because it can still be done on steep slopes. Note that none of the challenges will ever require this, so you don’t have to learn it if you don’t want to.
• Pole Climbing: A complex (and usually ad-hoc) mix of swing climbing, stretch climbing, leap climbing, and shuffle climbing, allowing the user to climb a vertical pole where there isn’t enough horizontal material to use other techniques reliably. Sometimes makes use of friction in the elbow when the arm is wrapped around. The exact technique tends to be different depending on a few factors, but it’s amazing what can be climbed with the right strategy. Also works on non-cylindrical “poles” – the thin and narrow roof supports on top of the lighthouse in Water are a good example.

}

There are three “grey areas” I’ll address here. The following techniques are legitimate:

• In several locations, it is possible to hand-over-hand climb on the underside of a slope. This is a legitimate technique, on one condition: as you reach, you cannot release your grabbing hand early to make your reaching hand “sticky” at a higher position than it otherwise would be. That would be considered swing-climbing.
• If you encounter a gap and there is a wall beside it, you can slightly increase your jump range if you grab onto the wall with your near hand at the apex of your jump, using your momentum to swing and reach toward the far side of the gap. This is legitimate because there are extra dreams that (as far as I can tell) require this technique to complete, and those dreams have been included into the game by the developer. You are also allowed to use this technique for swinging yourself around a corner or a curved wall (see Electric Avenue). Just like before, as long as you don’t let go with both hands at once (and you aren’t starfishing), it’s legitimate.
• If you climb onto a surface and then immediately jump to reach something else, that’s legitimate – you reached the position legitimately, so you can jump from it legitimately. This would be used when climbing onto a very small surface that you know you won’t be able to stand on for long, such as a zipline.

~~~Official Dreams:

Mansion

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Complete the level having grabbed at least one column in each of the three groups of columns, and nothing else

Restriction Details:

• None

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• From the end of the level, get back to the beginning using only your arms when climbing

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to use your keyboard while grabbing; as soon as both hands let go, you can use the keyboard again
• You are not allowed to skip directly from the gazebo room to the beginning; you must enter the room that has the arches before you can reach your goal

Train

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Climb onto the traincar attached to the locomotive, and jump to grab onto a wall of your choice
• Then, complete the level without standing on anything

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab the underside of the level
• You are not allowed to grab the side railings at the exit area
• You are not allowed to walk or stand with either leg/foot, BUT, they are allowed to touch surfaces (when swinging around for example).

Notes:

• In case you were wondering, I’ll save you the trouble. Yes, this is the fear of trains.

Carry

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Complete the level, using your arms for absolutely nothing except the lift controls at the exit

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to raise your arms or grab anything, except in the process of controlling the lift at the exit (objects can press the button, but the lift will only move if you use a hand to press it instead). It’s ok if your arms touch things or fly up on their own, such as when jumping.
• You are not allowed to open any doors, except the exit door

Hints:

• If you are trying to move crates just by running into them, try headbutting them. This hint is free, and the others are hidden.
• Crates can also be moved the way a circus performer walks on a ball
• You can jump across seemingly impossible gaps, if you’re willing to give it a few tries
• Inertia is really cool. To use it here, apply direct momentum to one object, and not to the other. Part of this lesson is learned in the second dream: Train.

Mountain

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Throw the rope out of reach, then cross the gap using the rope

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to reset the rope by reloading the level or something. That’s dumb.

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Throw the rope out of reach, then cross the gap using the rope – the hard way

Restriction Details:

• Once the rope is thrown out of reach, you are not allowed to grab the rope unless one hand is also grabbing the tree branch. You will need to climb almost all the way up to the knot.

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Just after the rope swing, climb up to the red traincar using only the broken rails (and the planks)

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab any of the surrounding rock formations to get a head start

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Enter the mountain house through the exit door

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to touch the entrance door of the mountain house, or any part of the porch

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Climb to the highest tip of the mountain

Restriction Details:

• None

Demolition

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Get from the mattress area, into the bucket controls area, and then touch the bucket, performing no demolition along the way

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to use all of the mattresses – only one mattress of your choice is available to be moved
• You are not allowed to break any glass
• You are not allowed to touch the planks
• You are not allowed to touch any doors

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Outside of the mattress area, complete the level without touching any “proper” floors

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to touch any floors once you are on the wall, but you are allowed to walk on rails, rooftops, and whatever other surfaces you can find that wouldn’t be considered floors.
• You are not allowed to touch any doors

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Starting on the bridge itself, grab the beam that suspends the red-cable bridge

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab anything except the cables and the beam
• You are not allowed to stand on anything except the bridge

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Use the swinging ladder to climb up to the red I-beams above

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab anything except the ladder, the vertical black bars that the ladder is connected to (the horizontal one has no collision), and the I-beams

Hints:

• Keep in mind that the ladder only swings on one axis. You, on the other hand, can swing on whatever axis you want!

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• In the final room, climb up to the grey platform, keeping the forklift just as it is

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab anything except the forklift itself and the metal platform you are trying to reach (you are also not allowed to grab the red I-beam directly under the metal platform)
• Although this is labelled as an exploit challenge, the only exploit technique you are allowed to use is swing-jumping

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• After releasing the trapeze, jump down and climb back up to the same platform, using only the trapeze to get there

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to break the glass
• You are not allowed to grab anything except the trapeze and the platform
• At least one hand must be gripping at all times – you are not allowed to swing-jump to the platform

Objective:

• Once inside the castle walls, get to the next area without touching anything that moves

Restriction Details:

• None

Difficulty: Bronze

• Starting inside the wooden building under the zipline, raise the gate without sending the barrel across the gap

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to touch the barrel
• You are not allowed to touch the dirt ground outside
• You are not allowed to grab the exterior walls of the castle
• Although this is listed as an exploit challenge, the only exploit technique you are allowed to use is shuffle climbing

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Starting from the chimney under the zipline, slide down the rest of the zipline without using a cane

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab anything… but you can still use your arms to reach!

Difficulty: Gold

• Stand on the ledge where the white rock/snowball is sitting

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to touch the rock/snowball

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Climb to the very top of the lighthouse (the roof above the beacon)

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to touch the stairs

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Now go back down to the ground using only your mouse

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to use your keyboard
• You must have at least one hand grabbing a wall at all times until you reach the ground, unless you are standing on a surface

Notes:

• I only included one “climb-down” challenge like this, but of course, there are lots of other places you could do this from

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Climb the waterwheel and open the exit grate

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab any part of the rectangular structure that the lever is on
• You are not allowed to break the dam
• You are not allowed to touch any part of the mountain or the cable car system

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Go to the harbour crane and get to the other side, without touching the crane controls

Restriction Details:

• None

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Climb to the top of the crane cables using the module that the chains are hanging from

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to climb the crane from its foundation and drop down to the module – you must climb the cables themselves

Notes:

• The module’s frame and rollers are a single object with a convex mesh collider. This means that there will be invisible walls between the frame and rollers, making it more of a pyramid shape than the cubic shape it appears to have.
• The cable visuals are also sometimes misaligned with their colliders. Be careful and accurate if you swing-jump instead of swing-climbing.

Difficulty: Platinum

Objective:

• Climb to the very top of the harbour crane (you can climb from the crane’s base, or from Pulleyblank)

Restriction Details:

• You are (still) not allowed to touch the crane controls

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Go from the shipping containers to the start of the shipwreck, dry and shock-free

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to touch any water
• You are not allowed to touch the rafts
• You are not allowed to touch any of the flat crates
• You are allowed to use the cubic crate at the power plant, but you are not allowed to open the door in any way.

Power Plant

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Get out of the starting area without disturbing the big fan

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to grab the big fan or disconnect its wires

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Touch and close all 8 power boxes

Restriction Details:

• You are not allowed to power any electrical devices, including gates
• If a box is opened, even in the process of climbing on it, you must close it again (all boxes must be closed at the same time)

Difficulty: Silver

Objective:

• Enter the room with two conveyor belts, beside the boilers
• Bring the battery to the power box
• Bring the two hanging wires to the power box

Restriction Details:

• You are allowed to enter the room by going through the gate normally… but there are at least two legitimate ways to enter without opening the gate at all. Can you find them?
• You are not allowed to turn the conveyor belts on
• You are allowed to pick up and drop the battery, but you are not allowed to throw the battery

Hints:

• Make sure you know how to ragdoll. You will need it to complete this challenge.
• Round batteries will make you fall, but square ones make great step stools
• Sitting flat on the ground, this conveyor belt would have only one surface you could stand on. Stretched on its rollers, one surface becomes two.
• Camera giving you problems? Maybe it needs a new battery

Difficulty: Platinum

Objective:

• Climb to the very top of the power tower floating outside of the map

Restriction Details:

• None; you can even start from “Thief” if you want to

Notes:

• The power lines themselves have collision – you can climb any tower and hand-over-hand your way to the correct one, rather than trying to jump directly to the floating tower

Difficulty: Titanium

Objective:

• Climb to the very top of the power tower in front of the boilers, using only the power lines tethered to the ground. Good luck.

Restriction Details:

• None

Notes:

• All of the hidden information below is less to help you, and more to prove I actually know how to do it. If you find a different/better way, congratulations, knock yourself out.
• If you still want to give it a go, you will find that swing climbing isn’t going to work, and swing-jump climbing is also extremely unreliable and dangerous. I did it using a simultaneous mix of pole climbing and stretch climbing; by wrapping yourself over and around the pole, you can jam the cable into the elbow of your grabbing arm. This will allow you to gain a small amount of height with your reaching hand because your grabbing arm will maintain your position all by itself (something that’s normally impossible; you can’t climb onto a ledge using only one arm because it’s not strong enough on its own). It will only get harder as you go because the wire gets steeper, which affects the “stickiness” of your reaching hand. You will also occasionally need to readjust where your hands are, relative to the circumference of the wire.

Restriction Details:

• None

Difficulty: Bronze

• You are not allowed to touch any ice cubes

Notes:

• On your way back down, try grabbing one of the flags blowing in the wind!

• If any items fall to a lower area, you must retrieve them before you can make another attempt to get across the gap.

Hints:

• Don’t expect the plank to support your weight perfectly at the very end. You’ll probably have to jump for it!
• Sometimes, you need to move backward before you can move forward
• If you can’t get the plank high enough with that pile of bricks, why not try using something else as a fulcrum?

Notes:

• Yes, this is actually how I solved this puzzle the first time I played the dream. I had forgotten that electric buttons make a clicking sound when you press them, so after a few attempts (in which I actually missed the button), I thought the mineshaft lift didn’t work yet, and decided I would come back later to figure out what I missed. Not my finest moment.

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Instead of using the ice cube to climb higher up the mountain, jump directly to the blue biplane, then climb up to its tail

Restriction Details:

• None

Difficulty: Gold

Objective:

• Bring the crowbar, pickaxe, axe, and a toasted marshmallow to the yellow car

Restriction Details:

• None

Notes:

• I listed the challenge as Exploit just in case / to save you some time, but you shouldn’t need any exploit techniques to complete this challenge

Difficulty: Bronze

Objective:

• Drop the telescope off the map (and watch what happens)

Restriction Details:

• None

Difficulty: Titanium

Objective:

• Start at the top of the power pole at the stone temple
• Then, cross the valley using the power lines

Restriction Details:

• You don’t need to climb all the way to the top of the opposite power pole. You just need to climb high enough to get to the far side.
• You can climb either power line, but once you begin, you are not allowed to grab the other line
• You are not allowed to grab any part of either mountain

Notes:

• Be CERTAIN you have enough height to make that last jump onto the far mountain, because you cannot grab the ledge to pull yourself up – you only get one shot at it. You might even want to practice a little by lowering yourself down the lines from that far pole and experimenting.

~~~Progress Chart

If you want to keep track of which challenges you’ve completed, you can use this list. I decided to do this here instead of using an external file; that way, you can dump it into whatever spreadsheet software you like, just in case you have something other than Excel. Unfortunately, copying a table directly from here doesn’t appear to work very well, so I’ve used a list instead.

Note that this excludes bonus challenges. If you want to keep track of those as well, you can add them yourself; this way, if you don’t want to, they are already excluded.
