Flipping is Hard Ms. Elephant & Plonk Locations — All 18 NPCs
Exact locations for Ms. Elephant (by the dollhouse roof in The Toy Chest), secret prototype NPC Plonk (in The Playground), and all 18 NPCs in Flipping is Hard.
Where Is Ms. Elephant Located in Flipping is Hard?
One of the most searched questions among players climbing the mid-tower is where to find Ms. Elephant. You will find Ms. Elephant in Floor 5: The Toy Chest, perched on the cliffside ledge right next to the giant dollhouse roof.

Follow this exact path so you don’t overshoot her ledge:
- Ascend from Candyland into Floor 5: Follow the main route in our All 10 Trashlands Levels Walkthrough until you enter The Toy Chest.
- Scale the Giant Dollhouse: Instead of taking the fast exterior train-track bypass toward The Grid, climb up through the open rooms of the pink-and-wood dollhouse.
- Step Out Onto the Dollhouse Roof: Once Flippy lands on the pitched shingle roof of the dollhouse, pan your camera toward the adjacent rock/cardboard cliff wall.
- Hop Across to the Cliffside Ledge: Use a controlled flat-face hop (see our Controls & Jump Guide) to cross the short gap from the eaves of the dollhouse roof onto the cliff ledge where Ms. Elephant is waiting.
Where to Find Secret Prototype NPC “Plonk” in The Playground
Before Flipping is Hard starred a 2000s Flippia 3310 cell phone, developer Elegant Horse Studios prototyped the physics engine using a humble wooden board named Plonk. As a tribute to the game’s origins, the developers hid Plonk as a secret Easter egg NPC inside Floor 3: The Playground.

Here is how to reach Plonk:
- Location: Floor 3 (The Playground), tucked on a secluded rear support beam behind the main plastic slide and climbing frame structure.
- How to Get There: Halfway up our Playground & Candyland Guide route, pause at the platform just before the tilting seesaw. Look behind the vertical support pillar to spot a narrow wooden plank ledge leading out of sight of the main camera angle.
- Why Visit Plonk: Speaking to Plonk triggers unique fourth-wall-breaking dialogue about how he was “replaced by a Nokia brick” and counts toward your full NPC discovery tracker.
