In Stranger Things 3: The Game, there are 50 collectible Gnomes hidden in various different locations. As added incentive for finding them, a stranger in a nondescript house will let you open chests for every 10 Gnomes you collect, meaning you’ll be able to earn 5 chest rewards by collecting all 50 Gnomes. While some Gnomes are easy to find, others are far more challenging. What’s more, some Gnomes require you to unlock a particular character, or reach a certain point in the campaign before you can collect them. To make the process easier, we’ve put together a guide on where you can find all 50 Gnome locations in Stranger Things 3: The Game!
All Gnome Locations in Stranger Things 3: The Game
As noted above, the incentive for finding Gnomes in Stranger Things 3: The Game is the rewards you receive. For every 10 Gnomes you find, you'll be able to open a special rewards chest located inside a "nondescript house" in the Hawkins Suburbs area. This house can be found at the bottom left corner of the map and has a fenced-in pool area to the left.
After you enter the house, a stranger hidden behind a door will ask for your help in finding their Gnomes. In a room to the right of the closed door, you'll find 5 rewards chests. The rewards inside of these chests vary. For example, we received crafting supplies after opening our first chest, though we have no doubt the rewards will increase in value as you get closer to the 5th and final chest.
