How To Find All Polaroids in Life Is Strange: Double Exposure

Life is Strange: Double Exposure isn’t short on secrets as you wend your way through its storyline, but there are hidden or out-of-the-way collectables to find. If you’re photo-hunting, here’s how to find all Polaroids in Life is Strange: Double Exposure.

How and Where to Find Every Life is Strange: Double Exposure Polaroid Photograph

Life is Strange: Double Exposure’s Max loves taking Polaroid photographs, but you can also find others scattered around the levels. Some tell a story, while others are just cool to look at, and some have you wondering when and how that person took them. You’ll also get an achievement for finding all the Polaroids in each chapter.

The good news is that if you miss them, you can dip back into each scene once you’ve completed the game with the Explore Scene option and collect them without having to go through the whole story again. You’ll also be able to skip dialogue and some scenes.
