If you want to collect every piece of Memorabilia in Dead as Disco, it takes a lot of time and isn’t as simple as finishing the story. Some collectibles are hidden inside boss arenas, while some only appear after completing side quests, and others require challenge milestones or gameplay achievements.
This Dead as Disco Collectibles guide shows the location of all the collectibles currently available in the game, including Furniture, Decor, Posters, Polaroids, and Deals (Shards). I have written the unlock requirement and the exact place to find it under each entry, so you won’t have to search every corner of a level.
Note: These collectibles can’t be missed even if you have played that level earlier. You can always replay the level and collect the items anytime in the game.
What Are Memorabilia in Dead as Disco?
Memorabilia are collectible items that decorate the Encore. While they don’t provide gameplay bonuses, they allow you to customize the hub area and add extra lore through certain characters and objects.
You can unlock Memorabilia in several ways:
- Find hidden collectibles during story levels.
- Complete character side quests.
- Finish story chapters.
- Earn challenge rewards.
- Reach gameplay milestones.
Most hidden collectibles briefly glow with an orange light, which makes them easier to spot.

Dead as Disco Polaroids & Deals (Photos/Shards)
Before you collect every Polaroid, learn how Deals (Shards) work first.
Deals are small collectibles that appear during the third phase of each Idol’s boss fight. When you collect them, they are added to the poster displayed near the front of the Encore.
Like other collectibles, Deals are not missable. If you miss one during a fight, simply replay the boss battle and collect it later.
Hemlock’s Deal
Reach Phase 3 of Hemlock’s boss fight.
The Deal is located at the edge of the arena, to the left of the giant Buzzkill.
It becomes much easier to collect after the Moshers spawn, since the camera is no longer locked directly onto Hemlock.
Arora’s Deal
Reach Phase 3 of Arora’s boss fight.
The Deal is lying at the edge of the arena behind Charlie’s starting position.
The camera stays locked on Arora throughout the fight, so there isn’t a perfect opportunity to grab it. You’ll usually need to move toward it while avoiding attacks.
Dex’s Deal
During Phase 3 of Dex’s boss fight, head to the edge of the arena behind Charlie’s starting position.
Just like Arora’s Deal, the camera never unlocks during this phase. You’ll have to carefully run towards the collectible while fighting.
Prophet’s Deal
Reach Phase 3 of Prophet’s boss fight.
This Deal can be found at the edge of the arena behind where Prophet starts.
The stylized fence surrounding the arena makes it blend into the environment. Since the camera remains locked on Prophet for the entire fight, you’ll need to keep an eye on the arena edge while moving around. Once you reach near it, simply grab it.
“Choo Choo #2” Polaroid
You can unlock this Polaroid by completing the Double Trouble challenge.
“Besties” Polaroid
Requirement: Progress through Arora’s Encore side story first.
Replay Arora’s story level and reach the Abyss arena. Look toward the front-right corner of the area. The Besties Polaroid is attached to the back of a Fallen Doll.
“DED 4 Lyfe” Polaroid
Requirement: Talk to Prophet after defeating him for the first time.
Replay Prophet’s story level. Near Charlie’s starting position, look to the right for a purple car parked beside a trash can.
The DED 4 Lyfe Polaroid is lying on the hood of the purple car.
“24H Solo!!!” Polaroid
Replay Dex’s story level and continue until you reach the third stage, where the walls begin moving.
After the walls expand from a narrow alley into a larger room, check the left wall to find the Polaroid.
“Stardom” Polaroid
Go to the Encore and head behind the stage curtains.
The Stardom Polaroid is located on the left side of the stage.
“Chilling” Polaroid
First, unlock the Blue Couch collectible to make this Polaroid appear.
Once the couch has been purchased, go to the Encore and check behind the boxes to the left of the Blue Couch.

The Smoking Polaroid is placed next to the table.

Dead as Disco Side Quest Order
After defeating each Idol, they’ll appear inside the Encore, where you can continue their side quest through dialogue.

Tips & Known Issues
While collecting every piece of Memorabilia, a few items can be confusing because of camera restrictions, challenge requirements, or current game issues. Here are some useful details shared by the community:
- No collectibles are missable. If you miss a Deal, Polaroid, or hidden item during a level, simply replay the stage later.
- The Fallen Doll Statuette requires 5 Stars in both Arora’s story (Normal or higher) and the Rhythm Divine challenge. Players have reported that the score requirement is roughly 70,000 for Arora’s story and around 60,000 for Rhythm Divine.
- The “I Must Be Perfect” Graffiti was previously unobtainable because of a bug. The developers have confirmed they’re working on a fix.
- For Maker, using Show Stopper against Bouncers does not count toward the 1,000-use requirement.
- Harmony Farms Cottage Cheese Ad and “K*Bubble” Arora Exclusive can be difficult to collect because the camera remains locked on Hemlock during the fight.
- The camera also stays locked throughout Arora, Dex, and Prophet’s Phase 3 boss fights, making their Deals (Shards) harder to pick up.
