Finding all life is strange reunion collectibles is essential for players who want to experience everything the final chapter of Max and Chloe’s story has to offer. Whether you are aiming for the "Drugstore Makeup" achievement by completing Chloe’s sketchbook or the "Supermax" trophy for saving every possible character, exploration is your most valuable tool. This comprehensive life is strange reunion collectibles guide covers every photo location for Max, every sketch for Chloe, and the elusive optional evidence and podcasts scattered throughout Caledon University and Lakeport.
As with previous entries in the series, many of these items are missable during a standard playthrough. While most photos and sketches can be "mopped up" using the Chapter Select menu after finishing the game, certain pieces of optional evidence must be collected in a single run to influence the narrative's final outcome. Follow these steps to ensure your collection is complete by the time the credits roll in 2026.
Max’s Photo Journey: Life is Strange Reunion Collectibles
Max Caulfield returns to her roots in Reunion, swapping the digital snapshots of Double Exposure for the classic photography style fans remember. To register a collectible, you must approach the object, wait for the "Photo" prompt, and ensure the picture saves to your booklet.
Chapter 1: Time Dojo & Class Act
The first few collectibles are located within the Science Center and the Fine Arts quad. These serve as an introduction to the mechanics of finding life is strange reunion collectibles.
| Scene | Collectible Name | Location Details |
|---|---|---|
| Time Dojo | Gourd Day to You | Look for the Jack-O'-Lanterns in the corner after entering the Science Center. |
| Time Dojo | One Giant Leap | Located further down the hall; take a photo of the astronaut/spacesuit. |
| Class Act | The Rebellion Lives in Art | Found on the side of the building with yellow scaffolding; it's a tiger graffiti. |
| Class Act | End of the School Week | Snap a photo of the student performing near the large pink sculpture. |
| Class Act | What a Cute Critter | Look for the squirrels on the grass near the benches. |
| Class Act | Not Quite Nevermore | Approach the ravens sitting on a bench near the statue. |
💡 Tip: If you miss a photo, check the "Scenes" menu from the main screen. It displays exactly how many collectibles are missing from each specific subchapter.
Mid-Game Photo Locations
As the mystery of the Abraxis house deepens, Max finds more opportunities to document her surroundings.
- Fremont Street: Look up at the building window to find a mannequin. This is easily missed if you are focusing only on the ground-level evidence.
- Reunion: Immediately after gaining control of Max in the bedroom, turn around and take a photo of the sleeping Chloe.
- Admin and Sleuth: After using your powers to make Vinh leave his desk, take a photo of the empty chair and desk before entering the office.
- Cat and Max: Locate the purple gnome near the trash bin and lamppost.
- Times in Turtle: Walk to the edge of the shoreline near the two students to capture the view.
- Mabon Party: This requires a small interaction. Find the goblet on its side near the sculpture with sunglasses. Interact with the goblet to stand it up, then take the "Mr. Cool" photo.
Chloe’s Sketchbook: Capturing the Vibe
Chloe Price doesn't use a camera; she uses her artistic eye to sketch "inspirations" she finds in the world. For most of these life is strange reunion collectibles, you must first "Look" at the item before the "Sketch" prompt appears.
| Scene | Sketch Title | Inspiration Object |
|---|---|---|
| Bar Break In | Circle of Life | The animal skull found in the trash can near the back door. |
| Lying and Waiting | Tip from the Rogue Artist | Flip over the blue Snapping Turtle coaster at the bar. |
| The Overlight | Young Yet Beautiful | The potted cherry tree found upstairs in Moses' office. |
| Times in Turtle | Too Soon to be Spooky | The pumpkins located near the beer brewing room. |
| Mabon Party | Taste of the Psychedelic | The lion image on the back of the "Wild Side" vinyl record in the secret room. |
| Chloe's Decision | Hiding in Plain Sight | Look up at the ceiling rafters to find a hidden gnome. |
| Keeping Watch | Cycles of Tragedy | Maya's book on the rooftop picnic table; inspect it before sketching. |
⚠️ Warning: The "Taste of the Psychedelic" sketch in the Mabon scene is behind a major choice. You must choose to "Attack" to access the area where the blueprint and album are located.
The Abra Cast: All 9 Podcast Locations
Loretta’s "Abra Cast" provides deep lore about the university's secrets. To unlock the associated achievement, you must interact with the flyers/QR codes found in the following locations. While you don't necessarily have to listen to the full audio to trigger the collectible, it is highly recommended for the full story experience.
- Time Dojo: Near the bathroom entrance on the wall.
- Class Act: On a bench to the right of your starting position.
- Open Mic Night: Inspect the business cards after your conversation with Lucas.
- Cat and Max: Found on a picnic table near the water wall sculpture.
- Times in Turtle (Bar): Located on the corkboard near the entrance.
- Mabon Party: On a bench on the patio before heading back inside.
- All Available Evidence: A QR code on a table near the upstairs couch.
- Chloe's Decision: Back on the Snapping Turtle corkboard.
- Memorial: On the Adirondack chair near the docks.
Optional Evidence and Narrative Impact
Unlike standard life is strange reunion collectibles, optional evidence directly impacts your ability to save characters like Safy, Janette, and Anthony. This evidence includes items like Reggie’s notes, the history of the occult book, and the demolition contract.
To achieve the "Supermax" ending, you must use the evidence gathered to correctly accuse the culprits. In the final chapters, Max must accuse Vin, and Chloe must accuse Ren. Without the specific evidence found in Owen's office and the secret basement, these dialogue options may not lead to the "Good" ending.

Final Collectibles: The Memorial and Beyond
The final two photos are emotional beats that conclude the collection. In the Memorial chapter, you will take a photo of the "Wall of Heroes" (which only appears if you successfully saved everyone). Finally, in Partners in Time, you will take one last photo of Chloe by the television to complete your booklet and unlock the final collectible achievement of 2026.
FAQ
Q: Can I get all life is strange reunion collectibles in one playthrough?
A: Yes, you can collect all photos, sketches, and podcasts in a single run. However, some achievements related to the "Final Decision" (like the choice between the "Dead Girl Walking" and "Blue-Haired Girl" trophies) require two separate playthroughs or a save reload.
Q: What happens if I miss a piece of optional evidence?
A: Unlike photos and sketches, optional evidence often cannot be mopped up via Chapter Select to fix your "main" save. If you miss a critical piece of evidence needed to save a character, you may need to restart the chapter or the game to achieve the "Supermax" ending.
Q: Is there a reward for finding all the podcasts?
A: Yes, finding all nine podcasts unlocks a specific achievement/trophy and provides the necessary context to understand the motivations behind the Abraxis house fire, which helps in the final "Accusation" scenes.
Q: Where is the hardest photo to find?
A: Most players struggle with the "Mr. Cool" photo at the Mabon party. You must interact with the goblet to stand it up before the photo prompt appears. Many players walk right past it thinking it's just background decor.
