Life is Strange: Double Exposure Polaroids are what you need to be on the lookout for in Max Caulfield's latest outing, with the pictures appearing in every chapter in the game. Longtime fans are no doubt aware of what Max does for a living, but newcomers may wonder why it's Polaroids you need to look for. The answer is simple: Max is a photographer, achieving her dreams from the first game. Polaroids are very important in the first Life is Strange, so it's nice to see them make a comeback.
Before we go any further, we have some great recommendations on games like Life is Strange that you can play after you help out Max at Caledon University. We also have a Life is Strange: Double Exposure Switch review if you'd like to hear our thoughts on Max's latest adventure.
All of the Life is Strange: Double Exposure Polaroid locations
You can find Life is Strange: Double Exposure Polaroids in every chapter of the game; the number varies between three and five, so you need to keep an eye out as you walk around Caledon University's campus and the other areas you find yourself in. Luckily for you, we tracked them all down so you don't have to spend hours searching. Below, we list all of the Polaroids in the order they appear in each chapter, along with their specific scene.
Chapter 1
Here are the locations for the three Polaroids in Chapter 1:
