Frozen District released House Flipper 2 on 14 December 2023, moving the series from a menu of disconnected apartments into the fictional seaside town of Pinnacove. Story mode runs 24 jobs across four districts, starting with Raccoon Trouble, a brief emailed to you by Tom Marino. Sandbox mode hands over empty plots and the full building toolset, and the game later added online co-op for two to four players.
House Flipper 2 features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
Area Progression Order
| Order | Location | Difficulty | Key Rewards | Recommended Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pinnacove Suburbs | Story jobs 1 to 10 | Mop, Paint Roller, Sledgehammer, tablet store access, first perk points | Painter |
| 2 | Crayfish Coast | Mid game story jobs | House buying and flipping unlock, larger perk budget | Painter |
| 3 | Coralroot Forest | Late story jobs | Assembly mode practice, Building tree perks, higher value flips | Cleaner |
| 4 | Old Pinnacove | Final story jobs | Story completion, top tier selling perks, the most profitable flips | Cleaner |
| 5 | Sandbox | Available any time | Free building, design sharing, no brief conditions to satisfy | Cleaner |

Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order: Pinnacove Suburbs → Crayfish Coast → Coralroot Forest → Old Pinnacove → Sandbox. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your equipment: Some areas favor different equipment types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
