Secret Ending
How to reach 100% and unlock the SECRET ENDING in Clean all the leaves! - hidden special leaves, the Leaf Collection badge and fixes for getting stuck at 99%.
Introduction
The secret ending is the reason many players keep sweeping long after the yards are clean. Clean all the leaves! hides a story underneath its cozy surface: your friends left you the yard, but they have been keeping something from you, and the only way to uncover it is to clean 100% of the property. Reaching 100% is not just about clearing visible piles - it also requires finding the special hidden leaves that complete your Leaf Collection, a badge so rare that only a handful of players have earned it. The process is methodical: clean every visible pile in every unlocked yard, hunt the special leaves tucked behind props, corners and elevated spots, then re-check anything you might have missed when the counter refuses to tick past 99%. This category walks through the entire 100% path step by step: what counts, where hidden leaves tend to hide, how to diagnose a stuck counter, and exactly what happens when the final percentage clicks. If you want the truth your friends tried to hide, start here.
100% Completion Roadmap
| Step | What To Do | Common Pitfall |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Visible Piles | Clean every visible pile in every unlocked yard | Assuming piles reset or do not count |
| 2. Special Leaves | Hunt hidden special leaves for the Leaf Collection badge | Skipping corners, rooftops and behind props |
| 3. Re-check At 99% | Systematically re-scan each yard for the missing leaf | Re-cleaning the same obvious spots |
| 4. Final Yard | Reach 100% in the final area | Leaving the last estate for the end unprepared |
| 5. SECRET ENDING | Trigger the SECRET ENDING badge and the truth reveal | Missing the special-leaf requirement |

Core Mechanics
The 100% system in Clean all the leaves! is a hidden-objective layer on top of the cleaning loop. Every yard tracks how many leaf piles you have cleared, and that progress feeds a global completion counter. Visible piles alone are rarely enough - special leaves, hidden in props, corners and elevated spots, add an extra layer of collection that most players never notice until the counter stalls at 99%. These special leaves feed the Leaf Collection badge, which is intentionally extremely rare. The completion math is simple: each yard has a fixed set of countable objects, and you need all of them before the global percentage can hit 100%. That means the skill is not sweeping faster, but searching smarter - knowing where hidden leaves like to hide, checking every camera angle, and comparing screenshots to spot what you missed. Once every earlier yard is complete, the final estate becomes the last blocker, and finishing its full collection triggers the SECRET ENDING badge and the story payoff. Treat the whole process as a hunt with a checklist, and the truth will surface.
Advantages
The secret-ending category converts the game s most obscure content into a clear, achievable path. Its biggest advantage is the checklist structure - instead of wandering yards hoping to trip over a hidden leaf, you follow numbered steps that tell you exactly what is countable and where hidden leaves tend to hide. Second, the 99% troubleshooting section directly addresses the game s most common community frustration, saving stuck players hours of re-cleaning the same obvious piles. Third, the category explains the rarity of the Leaf Collection badge upfront, so players know what they are chasing and can decide if completionism is for them. Fourth, because the process is systematic, the guide works for both solo players and co-op teams - split the yards and compare checklists. Finally, the connection to the story category means completionists get both the how and the why: you unlock the badge, and you finally understand the mystery behind the leaves.
Challenges
The secret-ending content has real limitations rooted in the game s secrecy. Exact special-leaf positions are community-inferred and not officially documented, so they can change with updates or be described with slight inaccuracies. The 100% requirement is also strict - there is no partial credit, and a single missed leaf blocks the entire ending, which can be frustrating for casual players. Additionally, because the Leaf Collection badge is extremely rare, some hidden-leaf locations are verified by only a handful of players, leaving room for conflicting reports. Finally, the true payoff (the story reveal) is a spoiler risk: reading this guide before experiencing the game reduces the mystery. Players who prefer discovering secrets organically should treat the checklist as a last-resort help tool rather than a day-one read.

Quick Tips
Screenshot every yard when you reach what looks like full visible-pile completion. When the counter later stalls at 99%, compare the screenshot against the current view and the difference shows you exactly which special leaf is still hiding. This simple habit turns an infuriating stuck counter into a solvable checklist and saves hours of aimless re-sweeping.
Change your camera angle constantly while hunting hidden leaves. Many special leaves are only visible from above or from the side, tucked behind props and elevation that the default view completely obscures. Rotating the camera every few seconds while you sweep corners is the easiest way to catch the ones that casual play almost always misses.
Finish every earlier yard at 100% before you attempt the final estate. If each previous lot is complete, the last property becomes the only blocker, and its counter completes cleanly to trigger the SECRET ENDING. Backtracking from the final yard to fix a missed leaf in an early lot is a huge waste of time, so verify everything first.
