Dream House solution
Where: north Evacuation Zone, on top of the unfinished, Mold-infested building next to Railyard Street Station. Cross the same plaza you use for the Subway Fault quest, clear the Mold enemies inside and take the stairs up (Game Rant, PowerPyx). Fast travelling to the Railyard Street Station door is the quickest way in.
The roof has an unfinished playhouse. The missing pieces show up on the minimap. Game Rant lists six:
| Piece | Where it is | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| White-painted board | Opposite the playhouse | Front wall |
| Textured wooden board | Right of the playhouse | Roof |
| Large pot of plants | Same area as the white board | In front of the house |
| Small pot of plants | Right of the playhouse | Side of the house |
| Cat figurine | Same area as the white board | Doorway |
| Wolf figurine | Upper floor of the site | Doorway |
PowerPyx warns that the roof and front wall look alike apart from colour and texture, and that is where most wrong attempts go. When everything is in place, interact with the house and pick Draw. Dylan says it reminds him of his grandmother’s house.
AllThings.How describes a different eight-piece model in a warehouse chamber reached during Urban Survival. Game Rant, PowerPyx and Method.gg all put Dream House on the Railyard Street rooftop with six pieces, which is the version above.
All 11 Sketchbook locations
Scenes and solutions from PowerPyx, checked against Method.gg. Several need Reach or the Unknown’s gravity shifts, so some have to wait until later in the story.
| # | Scene | Zone | Where | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Beach Day | Downtown | Construction site corner with a blue tarp, northeast (Lookout Point) | Umbrella and two chairs from the alley behind the “A New You Awaits” sign; chairs side by side at the front, umbrella behind |
| 2 | Rooftop Oasis | Downtown | Northwest rooftop near the West Supply Room door (needs Reach) | Three swans on the spots without stones, nearest the table; three plants on the stone spots |
| 3 | The Cat Picnic | Central | Yard of a blue house in the east, near the Field Office | Basket on the left, black cat back right, ginger cat back middle |

| 5 | Halloween Party | West Incursion Zone | Rooftops past the checkpoint (needs Reach) | Small pumpkin front left, ghost back left, big pumpkins back right, skeleton front right |
| 6 | Dream House | Evacuation Zone | Railyard Street Station rooftop, north | See the table above |
| 7 | Robotics | Evacuation Zone | Warehouse at the south end of the street by the Survivalist’s Bunker; alley or roof door | Turn the vending machine into a robot: light as the head, curved pipes as arms, T-pipes as legs |
| 8 | The Dragon and the Knight | The Park | End of the underground Park Valley Station, northwest | Two tools in the dragon’s mouth, two benches on the sides, two cones at the back |
| 9 | Space Adventure | Underpass | Island you jump to from the “Research Site” area | Antenna on the yellow X, alien on the wooden box, boy in white on the lowest podium, person in brown on the tallest, flag on the middle one |
| 10 | Art Exhibition | Unknown | Art gallery behind the street door; shift gravity 180° if you are on the wrong side | Bowl left, toilet second, laptop third, vacuum on the right |
| 11 | Game Night | Unknown | Bottom floor of a site on the southeast island (needs Pope’s Research) | Three figurines mid-table, candle from the supermarket, pizza from the pizzeria, mannequin from the laundromat |
Method.gg places Game Night’s candle and pizza the other way round (pizza left, candle right). If the scene will not complete, swap them.
How Sketchbook scenes work
- Finding them: each scene shows a “Secret – visit this location” marker when you get close. Once you have done one, the rest are tracked under Archives > Collectibles > Dylan’s Sketchbook.
- Placing pieces: pick up an object and use Drop Object on its outline. Order does not matter.
- Finishing: Dylan says “Done” when the model is complete. If he says it still needs something, a piece is missing.
- Missable: no. Every scene stays available after the story.
Rewards and trophy
- Per scene: an Undefined Reading, zone completion score and an Archives drawing (AllThings.How).
- All 11: the Work-Life Balance trophy or achievement (Silver on PS5). Method.gg also lists the Unfinished Lollipop Artifact.
Sketchbooks are one of the collectible sets needed for the platinum. See the trophy guide for the rest, or the art gallery puzzle if you are in the Evacuation Zone already.
Sketchbook FAQ
How do you solve the Dream House puzzle in Control Resonant? Find the six loose pieces around the unfinished playhouse and place them: the pets at the doorway, the white board as the front wall, the textured board as the roof, the large plant at the front and the small plant on the side. Then choose Draw.
Where is the Dream House in Control Resonant? In the north of the Evacuation Zone, on the roof of the Mold-covered building under construction by Railyard Street Station. Use the staircase inside the building to reach it.
How many Sketchbook locations are in Control Resonant? Eleven, spread across all seven zones. Completing every one unlocks the Work-Life Balance trophy or achievement. None of them is missable.
What do you get for finishing every Sketchbook? The Work-Life Balance trophy. Method.gg also lists the Unfinished Lollipop Artifact as a completion reward. Each scene adds an Undefined Reading and an entry under Archives.
