The Ditch Hotel Knock Styles - All 9 Styles in the Knock Shop
Nine ways to announce yourself, from a simple tap to the legendary FLYING KICK that sends you through the door.
Knocking is the whole economy of The Ditch Hotel, and the Knock Shop lets you do it with style. The official description confirms 9 knock styles, from a simple tap to the Sledgehammer and the legendary FLYING KICK. Here is how the system works and how to choose between the styles.
How the Knock Shop Works
The Knock Shop is where Cash becomes personality. You unlock knock styles that change how your knock looks and feels at the door. Every style earns the same core reward, Cash, so styles are about flair and fun rather than raw income.
The Confirmed Styles
The official description confirms the range and two names outright:
- Simple tap - the baseline knock every player starts with.
- Sledgehammer - exactly what it sounds like. Subtle is not in this style's vocabulary.
- FLYING KICK - the legendary style that can send you straight THROUGH the door. The official description singles it out as the most dramatic knock in the game.
The other six styles fill the range between a polite tap and kicking a door off its hinges. The shop updates with the game, so new arrivals can appear in patches; the last update landed on November 3, 2026.
Do Knock Styles Change Gameplay?
Knock styles are cosmetic self-expression, and that matters for strategy in one way: the more theatrical styles are pure celebration. Save the FLYING KICK for doors you have already survived, and use quiet, quick knocks during serious Cash farming on higher difficulties.
