Peepy is one of the most charming secrets in Neverness To Everness. It is a mysterious anomaly — a single eyeball that lives inside wall cracks and watches people go about their lives. Help Peepy find new places to hide, and it will thank you with its sunglasses. The quest is not marked clearly on the map and the school grounds can be confusing to navigate, so this guide covers every crack location in the right order so you do not miss a thing.

What Is Peepy In NTE?
Peepy is an anomaly with no real form — just a single eyeball that peeks out from cracks in walls. It has lived this way for a long time, watching humans go about their daily routines. Some see it as an invasion of privacy. Peepy just sees it as life.
When you help Peepy discover new cracks to settle into around Clement Academy, it rewards you with its Peepy’s Sunglasses as a thank-you gift. The sunglasses go into your Important Items inventory section. Beyond the cosmetic reward, Peepy also becomes a secret helper during the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission — it can tell you which cup hides the ball in the cooking class mini-game, saving you from guesswork.
How To Get To Clement Academy In NTE
All five of Peepy’s locations are on the grounds of Clement Academy, which is in the Fiscus Avenue area of Illusion Town. To get there, teleport to Illusion Town’s Wertheimer Tower and head east. You will see the school on your map.
One important thing to know before you go — you cannot enter the school through the main entrance. The front gate is locked. Instead, make your way around the perimeter and jump over the back fence to get inside the school grounds. This is not optional — it is the only way to access the area where all five cracks are.
How To Interact With Peepy’s Wall Cracks
Each of Peepy’s five locations appears as a thin crack on a wall, labeled “Touch Me Not” when you get close. The cracks have a subtle breathing or pulsing visual, so keep your eyes on the walls as you explore.
When you interact with a crack, you will get a dialogue option. Always select Knock — and you must knock exactly three times in a row. If you knock fewer than three times, your progress for that crack does not register and Peepy will not appear. This mechanic is the same at every single crack, so build the habit of knocking three times every time.
After three knocks, Peepy will surface for a brief interaction. You can skip the dialogue between visits if you want to move quickly. Once done at one crack, move to the next.
Important: You must find and knock on Crack 1 first. The other four cracks are not active until you have completed the first one. Do not try to find them in a different order.
All 5 Peepy Locations In NTE
Peepy Location 1 — Red Brick Wall (Southeastern Side of School)
After jumping over the back fence to enter the school grounds, head to the southeastern side of the building. Look for the red brick wall along the outer edge of the school. Peepy’s first crack is here, on that red brick surface.
This is the starting point and must be done first. Knock three times to summon Peepy, have the brief interaction, and then move on. Once this crack is cleared, the rest of the quest activates and the other four cracks become discoverable.
Peepy Location 2 — Behind the Vending Machines (Running Track)
From the first crack, walk through the basketball field to the other side of the school grounds. You will arrive at the area near the running track. Look for a row of vending machines and a trashcan near the bleachers in the distance.
Peepy’s second crack is tucked behind the row of vending machines. It is easy to walk straight past if you are not looking closely. Get right up against the vending machines and look for the crack on the wall behind them. Knock three times to continue.
Peepy Location 3 — Left Side of the Gym Building (Track-and-Field Area)
From the vending machine area, look across toward the gym building in the distance. You need to go to the left side of that gym building, near the wall that borders the track-and-field area and the basketball court.
The third crack is on this outer wall of the gym building. Approach it, knock three times, and summon Peepy for the third time. Once done, turn around and look for the stairs nearby.
Peepy Location 4 — Rooftop Wall With a Large Hole
After finding the third crack, turn around from the gym wall and look for a set of stairs leading up to the roof. Climb up. Once you are on the rooftop level, keep walking forward. You will see a crack in the wall next to an open door that leads back downstairs.
This is the fourth crack. It sits on a wall that has a large hole in it further along the school perimeter — a distinctive landmark that makes this one easier to spot once you are up on the roof. Knock three times, then prepare for the final location.
Peepy Location 5 — Cooking Classroom, 3rd Floor (Final Location)
This is the last and most involved location to reach. From the fourth crack, go down through the door next to you and head to the first floor. Exit through the door to the right. Outside, you will see another building adjacent to the one you just came from. Head into that building.
Climb back up to the third floor. At the top, you will find a cooking classroom. Walk to the far end of the classroom. Peepy’s fifth and final crack is right there at the end of the room.
Knock three times one last time. After this final interaction, Peepy rewards you with Peepy’s Sunglasses right there in the cooking classroom. Check your Important Items section in your inventory — the sunglasses will be waiting there.
What Are Peepy’s Sunglasses Used For In NTE?
Peepy’s Sunglasses are stored in the Important Items section of your inventory. They are a unique collectible tied to Peepy’s questline. Beyond being a fun secret reward and a great conversation piece in the lore of Hethereau, the sunglasses also serve a practical purpose in the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission.
Inside that commission, you will reach a moment in the cooking class on the 3rd floor of the northwest building where you need to find which cup hides a ball in a shell game. If you have already found Peepy through all five cracks, you can ask Peepy for help at this moment. Peepy will tell you exactly which cup has the ball — no need to guess or track the cups yourself. This is a genuinely helpful shortcut in one of the trickier moments of the Lonely Player quest chain.
How Peepy Connects to the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission
The Lonely Player is one of the longest and most layered Anomaly Commissions in Illusion Town. It chains together the five Peepy cracks, a diary recovery puzzle, a piano sequence, the Cheese Camera mechanic, and a series of Wandering Puppet hunts. Finding all five Peepy cracks is technically a prerequisite step within this wider commission.
Here is the simplified version of how the pieces connect:
- Set your in-game clock to morning and sneak into the school by jumping the back fence.
- Find and knock on all five Peepy cracks — this activates Peepy as a helper NPC inside the commission.
- Complete the Troubled Student errand to earn The Guide item and eventually the Cheese Camera.
- Equip the Cheese Camera from your inventory but do not use it until a Wandering Puppet is visible on screen — firing it early breaks quest progression.
- When you reach the cooking class cup mini-game, ask Peepy for the answer instead of guessing.
- Hunt down all eight Wandering Puppets across the school using the Cheese Camera, then return to the Auditorium for the final interaction to complete the commission.
The key thing to know: if the commission is not advancing, it is almost always one of three things — the clock is outside the required time window, you skipped an NPC dialogue before it registered, or you used the Cheese Camera before a puppet appeared on screen. Retrace your last NPC interaction and it will pick up from where it stalled.
Tips For Finding All Peepy Locations
- Jump the back fence — The main entrance does not open. Do not waste time looking for another way in.
- Always knock exactly three times — One or two knocks will not trigger Peepy. Three is the number every time without exception.
- Do Crack 1 first — The other four cracks are invisible to you until the first one is activated. Going out of order wastes time.
- Look for the “breathing” crack — Each crack has a subtle pulsing animation. Slow down near walls and let the animation catch your eye rather than sprinting through the area.
- Crack 4 and 5 require vertical movement — Use the school’s stairs and rooftop to navigate. The school has multiple floors and rooftop access, so take your time climbing.
- Complete Peepy before the Lonely Player commission — Having Peepy already found makes the cup mini-game trivial. If you do the commission first without finding Peepy, you will need to guess the cup manually.
- Check your Important Items immediately — After Crack 5, the sunglasses appear directly in Important Items, not in your regular bag. Players miss this and think they did not get the reward.

Final Thoughts
Peepy is one of those hidden secrets that makes Neverness To Everness feel alive. The quest is entirely off the beaten path — no quest marker points you to it, and the school grounds can feel confusing the first time. But once you know the five spots and the three-knock rule, the whole thing takes under 15 minutes. The sunglasses are a fun collectible, and the bonus help during the Lonely Player cup game is genuinely useful. If you are exploring Illusion Town, do not skip this one.
