Chloe's collectibles in Life Is Strange: Reunion work differently from Max's Polaroid spots, and that difference catches a lot of players off guard. Instead of snapping photos, you're hunting for physical objects that spark Chloe's artistic instincts — then triggering a sketch. There are 7 of these inspiration items spread across the game, and grabbing every one unlocks the Drugstore Makeup Achievement or Trophy. Miss them all and you'll need to replay scenes, though the game's Exploration Mode makes that painless.

This guide contains unavoidable spoilers for Life Is Strange: Reunion. Read ahead only as far as you need.How do Chloe's sketch collectibles work?
For most sketch spots, the process has two steps: first look at the object, then select the sketch option. Skipping the look prompt and jumping straight to sketching won't work on several of them. Once a sketch is saved to Chloe's collection, it stays there permanently — so you can back out to the main menu immediately after grabbing one during a replay.
The Exploration Mode scene selector is your best friend if you miss anything. You don't have to replay an entire chapter just to grab a single gnome.
All 7 Chloe collectible locations
Here's a quick-reference table before the full breakdown:
Collectible 1: Circle of Life (Bar Break In)
At the start of the Bar Break In scene, you're outside the Snapping Turtle bar. Before heading inside, go around to the right side of the building toward the employee entrance. Next to that door sits a garbage can with an animal skull inside. Examine it, then sketch.

Collectible 2: Tip from the Rogue Bar Artist (Lying And Waiting)
During Lying And Waiting, Chloe sits at the bar in first-person view while talking with Lucas and Amanda. Look slightly to your left and you'll spot the blue Snapping Turtle coaster. Examine it, then turn it over to find a sketch on the back. That hidden drawing is the collectible trigger.
info
The coaster is easy to overlook because it blends into the bar surface. Scan left of center as soon as the scene loads.
Collectible 3: Young Yet Beautiful (The Overlight)
Once you have free roam in Moses' office during The Overlight, head upstairs. Near the top of the staircase, there's a cherry tree beside the window. Examine it twice — once to look, once to sketch.

Collectible 4: Too Soon To Be Spooky (Times In Turtle)
The Times In Turtle scene splits between Max and Chloe. During Chloe's portion, you're walking around the Snapping Turtle interior. Find the pumpkins sitting next to the room where they brew the beer. The jack-o'-lantern among them is the inspiration. Examine it to unlock the sketch.
Collectible 5: Taste of the Psychedelic (Mabon)
Chloe's sequence in the Mabon scene has her investigating the basement of the Abraxas house and locating the secret entrance to the Hall of Secrets. Right at the entrance to that hall, there's a vinyl record on the floor. Examine it and flip it over to see the artwork on the back, which serves as the sketch inspiration.
info
According to multiple playthroughs of this scene, the record is directly beside the entrance point — turn around from where you enter the Hall of Secrets and look down.
Collectible 6: Hiding In Plain Sight (Chloe's Decision)
Right before the protest in Chloe's Decision, you spend time inside the Snapping Turtle. Look up at the rafters, there's a gnome staring down at you from above, positioned directly over a group of three people. This one is genuinely easy to miss because almost nothing else in the game requires you to look at the ceiling.
This is also the scene where you can unlock the Not a Rat Trophy or Achievement by convincing Joey you're part of the protest, so it's worth taking your time here.
Collectible 7: Cycles of Tragedy (Keeping Watch)
The final sketch is on the rooftop of the Observatory during Keeping Watch, when Chloe returns there with Moses. Walk over to the picnic tables near the red railing. On one of the tables, alongside some blue med kits, there's a book. Examine it, read it, set it back down, and then the sketch option appears.
Grabbing this last one completes the Drugstore Makeup Trophy or Achievement. If you've also finished Max's photo collectibles, the All These Memories Trophy or Achievement will pop at the same time.
What happens if you miss a collectible?
Nothing is permanently locked out. Life Is Strange: Reunion lets you return to any scene through Exploration Mode from the main menu. Select the relevant scene, grab the sketch you missed, and back out. The collection saves immediately, so there's no need to play through to the end of a scene again.
Tips for a clean collectible run
- Play slowly during Chloe's scenes specifically. Max's sections don't contain Chloe's sketch spots, so you can move faster through those.
- The coaster (collectible 2) and the gnome (collectible 6) are the two most commonly missed items, based on community reports after launch.
- You can collect all 7 across a single playthrough without any missables in the traditional sense, as long as you explore thoroughly during each Chloe segment.
- Life Is Strange: Reunion launched on March 26, 2026, developed by Deck Nine and published by Square Enix, earning a 100% critic recommendation rate on OpenCritic with a top critic average of 85/100 — so the game is worth taking your time with regardless.
