The Master Key is one of several keys in Granny. It is used to open the Main Door, after all the locks are removed from it. It has existed in the game, starting from its release in Version 1.0.
Appearance
The Master Key has a hexagonal, grimy red, handle tinged with rust due to its old age, with a rectangular keyhole. Its blade has four jagged, triangular teeth made of gray metal, with slight scratch marks on it.
Mechanics
Usage
The Master Key's main use is unlocking the Main Door. This can only be done if all the locks have been taken off, and it is more specifically used on the Main Door Lock. Contrary to Master Key's name, it can't open any other locks in the game.
