Granny's Rampage features five core stages, each escalating in chaos and presenting a unique environment to tear apart. This isn't a simple horde mode; it's a structured journey through the places that have wronged our geriatric hero, from her quiet suburban street to a prime-time television studio. Each level introduces new mechanics, enemies, and a primary objective that fuels Granny's righteous indignation.
Understanding the five-act structure is key to mastering the game. The difficulty curve is steep, and what works in the suburbs will get you swarmed in the city center. This guide breaks down every stage, its objectives, unique enemies, and the final boss waiting at the end of this chaotic saga.
What Are the Five Stages of the Rampage?
The game's progression is linear, unlocking one stage after the next upon completion. Each is a self-contained sandbox with a central mission, numerous side-gags, and a set of unique collectibles. While the core gameplay of whacking things with a purse and weaponizing household objects remains, the context and challenges evolve significantly.
The five stages are:
- The Suburbs: A Not-So-Quiet Retirement
- The Supermarket: Cleanup on Aisle Fury
- The City Center: Urban Renewal, Granny Style
- The Museum: A Heist for the Ages
- The TV Studio: Prime Time Pandemonium
These levels aren't just reskins. The Supermarket introduces physics-based vehicle mechanics with the shopping cart, the Museum adds rudimentary stealth, and the TV Studio culminates in a multi-phase boss fight that tests every skill you've learned.
Stage 1: The Suburbs - A Not-So-Quiet Retirement
This is where it all begins. The opening stage serves as a tutorial, introducing the basic controls and the core premise. It’s a deceptively peaceful-looking cul-de-sac that quickly devolves into mayhem.
Primary Objective: Retrieve the Dentures
The inciting incident is simple: a cocky mailman has accidentally knocked Granny's prize-winning dentures down a storm drain. Your goal is to cause enough of a ruckus to get the city maintenance crew to show up and open the drain. This translates to a destruction meter you must fill by smashing garden gnomes, knocking over trash cans, and terrorizing the nosy neighbors. The primary enemies here are the aforementioned Mailman, who throws packages, and the Nosy Neighbors, who try to call the authorities on their oversized early-2000s cell phones.
Environmental Hazards & Collectibles
The main hazards are automated lawnmowers that patrol the lawns and sprinklers that can make you slip. Granny’s walker is your primary weapon, with a satisfyingly powerful swing. The stage's unique collectibles are the "Forgotten Recipes," five hidden recipe cards that unlock cosmetic hats. Look for them behind rose bushes and on top of birdbaths.
Stage 2: The Supermarket - Cleanup on Aisle Fury
After reclaiming her teeth, Granny's next stop is the local grocery store for some prune juice and revenge. This stage is a significant step up in complexity and enemy density, trading open lawns for tight, destructible aisles.
Primary Objective: "Acquire" the Groceries
Your shopping list is your mission. You need to collect five specific items (Prune Juice, Extra-Strength Bengay, a Gigantic Cabbage, etc.) scattered across the store. However, each item is guarded by a new set of enemies: Overzealous Stock Boys who throw cans and Coupon-Clipping Rivals who will shove you to get to a bargain. The key new mechanic is the shopping cart, which you can ride for a powerful charge attack that bowls over enemies and shelves alike. Mastering the cart's drifty physics is essential.

The Produce Aisle Gauntlet
This specific section of the supermarket is a notorious difficulty spike. The floor is littered with slippery banana peels that will send you careening out of control, often into displays of exploding melons. The melons are triggered by proximity and do significant damage. The best strategy is to lure the stock boys into the melon patches or use a charged-up shopping cart to clear a path from a safe distance.
Stage 3: The City Center - Urban Renewal, Granny Style
Fresh from the supermarket, Granny takes her rampage downtown. This is the largest and most open stage yet, a bustling plaza filled with traffic, pedestrians, and a very pompous mayor giving a speech.
Primary Objective: Disrupt the Mayor's Speech
The mayor is dedicating a new statue—one that replaced the park bench where Granny used to feed the pigeons. This will not stand. Your goal is to sabotage the ceremony by completing three sub-objectives: rerouting the grand fountain to spray the stage, replacing the ceremonial music with death metal from a nearby hot dog stand, and finally, knocking over the statue itself. New enemies include persistent but slow-moving City Police and flocks of Aggressive Pigeons that will steal any food-based power-ups you find.

Navigating the Plaza
The key to this level is mobility. While on foot, you're vulnerable in the open spaces. The solution is to commandeer one of the many mobility scooters parked around the plaza. These act as the next evolution of the shopping cart, offering higher speed and better handling. The main puzzle involves turning a series of valves in the correct sequence to redirect the plaza's fountain, which requires careful timing to avoid the police patrols.
Stage 4: The Museum - A Heist for the Ages
In a surprising twist, Stage 4 changes the pace from all-out chaos to a more considered, stealth-based approach. Granny breaks into the city museum at night to retrieve a personal artifact that was unjustly donated.
Primary Objective: Reclaim Grandpappy's War Medal
Grandpappy's distinguished medal from the Great Emu War has been put on display without the family's permission. You must navigate the museum's halls, avoiding laser grids, sleeping Security Guards, and pressure plates. For the first time, a noise meter is active; make too much of a racket and you'll be swarmed. You can distract guards by throwing priceless vases or activating noisy exhibits. It's a tense change of pace that forces you to use Granny's cunning over her brute force.

Boss Encounter: The Curator
The stage culminates in a confrontation with The Curator, the museum's stuffy and surprisingly agile director. This isn't a straight brawl. The fight takes place in the dinosaur exhibit. You must use the environment to your advantage, luring The Curator into the path of a swinging T-Rex tail exhibit or temporarily blinding him by smashing the glass on a display case. He is defeated not by depleting a health bar, but by trapping him long enough for Granny to snatch the medal and make her escape.
Stage 5: The TV Studio - Prime Time Pandemonium
The final stage is a glorious explosion of everything you've learned. Having become a local legend, Granny is invited onto a live talk show to tell her story. She plans to use the airtime for one last, epic rampage.
Primary Objective: Hijack the Live Broadcast
This level is a chaotic sprint through a working TV studio, from the green room to the soundstage. You'll fight your way through disgruntled Camera Operators, Stressed Producers who try to block you with rolling equipment, and a rival Celebrity Chef on the neighboring cooking show set. The goal is to reach the central stage of the game show "Wheel of Misfortune" and confront its host.
Final Boss: "Mr. Sparkle," the Game Show Host
The final boss is Mr. Sparkle, a smarmy host with a dazzling smile and a series of deadly stage traps at his command. The fight has three distinct phases:
- Prop Dodge: Mr. Sparkle activates the stage machinery, causing faulty props like anvils and oversized refrigerators to rain from the ceiling.
- Trivia Trap: He asks you trivia questions. Answering correctly (by hitting the corresponding A, B, or C button on stage) is safe, but a wrong answer triggers a trap, like a spring-loaded boxing glove from the floor.
- Final Confrontation: You finally get to fight Mr. Sparkle directly on the spinning "Wheel of Misfortune," which constantly changes the environmental hazards around you.
Defeating him completes the game, triggering the final cutscene where Granny successfully broadcasts her manifesto for better senior discounts and softer park benches.
