Controls

You just drag the left mouse button to pull the pin. It sounds super simple, but honestly, it took a minute to realize the physics are actually pretty strict. Don't yank it or you might drop a rock on the loot.

What is Home Pin 2?

You drag pins to guide gold and resources down to a mother and daughter stuck in an abandoned house. The goal is to fix up their manor while keeping them safe from bad guys and weird traps. It’s basically a logic test about gravity and order. If you like those 'save the dog' puzzles or just messing with physics, this is right up your alley. But if you hate waiting for slow cutscenes or retrying the same level 50 times because a rock moved an inch too far, you’re gonna get annoyed fast.

How to Play Home Pin 2

You start off just pulling a single pin to drop some cash into a bucket. Pretty soon, the game throws in goblins and frozen water. A level takes maybe 5 minutes if you’re paying attention, but you'll probably fail a few times. The big mistake I made was trying to speedrun. You have to let things settle. Sometimes you gotta pull one pin to drop a bomb, pull another to drop water on the fire, then pull the main pin. If you pull the wrong one first, the family freezes or the gold gets lost. It gets messy.

Why Choose Home Pin 2

I picked this because it’s way more relaxed than a shooter but keeps your brain working. It’s not a perfect port—sometimes the hitboxes feel huge—but for a free browser game, the puzzle logic holds up well. It scratches that itch for organizing chaos without needing a gaming PC.

Home Pin 2 Pro Tips

1Don't rush the pin pulls or you'll trap the loot.
2Always check for bombs before dropping water.
3Restarting a level is better than finishing with zero gold.
4I messed up level 4 by pulling the bottom pin first—look out!
5Watch out for the goblins blocking the path.

Home Pin 2 FAQ

Can I play this on my phone? No, this specific version is built for desktop browsers, so you'll need a mouse to drag the pins accurately. Does the game save my progress? It usually saves via your browser cache, but if you clear history or go incognito, you’ll lose your manor upgrades. Is it just pulling pins the whole time? Pretty much. There are some logic twists where you have to mix items or use fire, but you’re always dragging pins. Why did I fail a level when nothing hit the girl? Sometimes the loot doesn't actually count if it touches a hazard, even if it reaches her afterwards. Keep the gold safe the whole way down. Is there an end to the game? Yeah, there's a set number of chapters to restore the manor. It’s not an infinite idle game.
