Background Information
Added in	Version 1.3

The Melon is an item in Granny. It always houses another item within it. It was added into the game in Version 1.3.

Appearance

The Melon appears as a small watermelon with green, striped outer skin. Its inside contains red flesh which also contains small, black seeds.

Usage

Upon picking the Melon up for the first time during the game, the Player will realize that "Something is inside this Melon.", letting us know that there's more to it than meets the eye.

To cut the Melon open, it has to be placed in the Guillotine. Once the handle is pulled, it will be cut open and make a muted thud. After that, the Melon will fall and be sliced into 2 halves, thus revealing the item hidden inside. As to be expected, this will attract Granny's attention.

Spawning

The spawn location of the Melon corresponds to the game's preset.

Preset	Location	Notes
#1	borderless Spider Cellar — Cupboard #4	The Melon contains the Padlock Key.
#2	borderless Kitchen — Top shelf of the locker	The Melon contains the Master Key.
#3	borderless Well	The Melon contains the Padlock Key.
#4	borderless Car Trunk	The Melon contains the Spark Plug.
#5	borderless Chest Puzzle	The Melon contains the Padlock Key.

• Preset 1: Spider Cellar - In cupboard #4
• Preset 2: Kitchen - In the Locker, on the top shelf
• Preset 3: In the Well
• Preset 4: Garage - In the Car's Trunk
• Preset 5: In the Chest Puzzle

Contains

• Preset 1: The Playhouse Key
• Preset 2: The Master Key
• Preset 3: The Padlock Key
• Preset 4: The Spark Plug
• Preset 5: The Padlock Key

Strategies

With some combinations of escape routes and presets, the item inside Melon is not required for escape.

• Preset #1: Not required for any escape. The Melon contains the Playhouse Key, while the Cogwheel Safe contains the Weapon Key. Every part of the Shotgun lies in the open, and it takes quicker on average to collect and put them together.
• Preset #2: Not required for the Car Escape Route nor the Escape Pipe Escape Route. The Melon contains the Master Key.
• Preset #3: Not required for the Escape Pipe Escape Route. The Melon contains the Padlock Key.
• Preset #4: Not required for the Main Door Escape Route nor the Escape Pipe Escape Route. The Melon contains the Spark Plug.
• Preset #5: Not required for the Escape Pipe Escape Route. The Melon contains the Padlock Key.

From what can be seen in the above, the Escape Pipe Escape Route never requires cutting the Melon.

Trivia

• The Melon used to have a few different spawning locations in previous versions:
  • Preset 4: Study - In the Showcase, on the second from top shelf (changed in Version 1.4).
  • Preset 5: Bathroom - In the bathtub (changed in Version 1.7).
  • Preset 1: Shed - On the Workbench (changed in Version 1.8).
  • Preset 5: Sewer Cell - In the Skeleton's lap (changed in Version 1.8).
• A long gray line that looks like a line of duct tape can be seen on the Melon.
  • It is unknown if this is intentional or not, as this "duct tape" is created by a gray border that surrounds the edge of the Melon's texture.
    • This could be the reason why you have to cut it, but as mentioned previously, it may not be intentional.
    • If this is true, that would explain how Granny managed to put an item inside of it with the Melon still remaining intact
• The Melon's size is similar to the size of an average human's neck, as it fits perfectly inside the Guillotine's hole.
• An item similar to the Melon, the Coconut, appears in Granny 3, where said item has the exact some functionality as the Melon, and is even cut in the same structure, the Guillotine.
• The Note found in the Dirt Room informs the Player that Granny "sometimes hides things inside fruits," which refers to whatever item is currently hidden inside the Melon.
  • This Note was likely left by a Previous Victim of Granny.
• The Melon is the first food-based item in the game.
• The Melon and the Orange Cogwheel are the only items that can spawn inside the Spider Cellar's cupboard #4.
