# The keeper's house
_Your whole house in one picture: seven rooms, and the screen each one opens._
## Getting in
Press the House button in the middle of the dock, press the . key, or tap your home on the [Map](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/explore). The view pulls back and shows your house in cross-section with your aquarium alive in its window. Press Esc or Back to the aquarium to return.
## The rooms
Tap a room to go there. Every room opens a screen the game already has:
- Study: a room of its own upstairs, with stairs down to the Aquarium. The desk opens [Research](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/research), the board shows each species' study steps and the Notes they give, and the bookcase opens the [Reef Journal](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/reef-journal).
- Pantry: opens the [Pantry](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/stash), where your food, decorations and eggs are kept. Its doors lead to the Porch and the Aquarium.
- Aquarium: takes you back to your fish.
- Kitchen: a room of its own, with a tiled wall, a kitchen table and doors to the Aquarium and the Garden. Food is cooked here in its own bowls, and the culture drawers stand here too (see [Kitchen](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/kitchen)).
- Workshop: a room of its own in the basement, under your aquarium. Its bench, shelf of materials, tool pegboard and recipe book stand in the room, for care items, tools, kits and decorations (see [Workshop](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/workshop)).
- Porch: a room of its own outside the front door. The signpost opens the [Map](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/explore), the lane opens the Coral Neighbourhood, the stall opens your [Stall](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/stall), the crates hold parcels to open (gifts, a finished study, a team back from its trip), the bell lists who visited or helped lately, and the front door leads into the Pantry.
- Garden: a room of its own behind the Kitchen, with soil beds where you grow lettuce, spinach and garlic (see [Garden](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/garden)). It opens with the Garden research.
## Doors
A room of its own has doors to the rooms next to it. Tap a door and you walk through the house to that room: the Workshop's stairs lead up to the Aquarium and the Study's stairs lead down to it, the Kitchen's doors lead to the Aquarium and the Garden, and the Porch's front door opens into the Pantry, whose other door leads to the Aquarium. The House button in a room shows the whole house again, and Esc goes back to the aquarium. Each time you come into the game you arrive on the Porch, and its front door takes you straight back to the room you were in last. The front door and the Kitchen's doors can be painted: tap the brush beside a door to choose its paint and hang a wreath or a bell on it. New paints and trims open as you level up, and the doors stay where they are.
## The stream TV
A television stands in the living room of your Aquarium room. It plays the aquarium that is on the 24/7 stream right now, drawn live by the game. It is only drawn while the house is open and the TV is on screen.
Tap the TV to enlarge it. The viewing panel shows the keeper’s address, fishies.lol/@handle, and the Watch on Kick and Watch on Twitch buttons. When no aquarium is on the stream, the TV is off air.
## When the house is closed
The house is not offered during the tutorial, while you visit another aquarium or in Open Water.
