Gone Home: Console Edition

It is recommended that you complete this during your Speedreader achievement:


The secret diary is obtained by going to the garage and then using the milk carton to knock the purple ball off the ceiling beams. Now carry the ball back to Sam's room and shoot it through the small basketball hoop on the door. Once you score, the achievement unlocks.

This achievement is for finding the last (24th) journal entry, which is not one of Sam's 23 entries.

I suppose all 3 other solutions are right, they just weren't what I was looking for when I came here, meaning that I was in my first playthrough, not speed-running, just enjoynig the game, and found myself missing just a few journal entries, and those speedrun videos are just rushing through everything and I just wanted help with this particular achievement, not the entire speedrun.

So, if you're in the same situation I was in, you'll have every room unlocked already. All you have to do is go to the garage and look for a blue recycle bin on the far end, open it, and grab a can. Then, go to the garage doorway and look up to the ceiling, you will see a purple ball on one of the beams. Throw the can at it, and the ball will fall to the floor. Grab the ball and take it to Sam's room. Drop it inside the room and close the door, which has a net on it. Grab the ball, approach the net and you'll see a text that says Dunk!. Dunk the ball and the achievement will unlock. Also, watch the TV haha

I found this video on YouTube, all credit to YouTube user/uploader Respawn Studios. It shows how to get the achievement.

Want a guide with brightness to make it as quick and easy as it needs to be?

I know it's kinda reinventing the wheel, but I made a 100%-in-a-single video for those that prefer that sort of thing. You'll get this one while going for Speedreader, but if you just wanna pop this real quick, go to the garage and knock the purple ball down from the rafters using something from the recycling bin to throw at it. Take the ball and shoot it through the hoop on the back of Sam's bedroom door.

Hey everyone, quick video for the achievement Meow Meow Meow. All you need to do is find the secret journal of Mittens in the game, which is unlocked by grabbing the purple basketball from the garage and bringing it to Sam's room. When there, shoot it into the basket hoop on her door, and you'll unlock it. Hope the video helps!
