Trivia

  • His full name was confirmed by Alex Nichiporchik on the Hello Neighbor Games Discord server.
    • In the files of the Hello Engineer Steam Demo, some of his animations call him Thomas, but in-game he's called Ivan, meaning Thomas is probably an old name for Ivan before they chose to name him Ivan.
      • The files also have his initials for some parts of him as "GB", this can be said to be his initials as Maritza's have "ME", which is her initials. This means Ivan originally had the initials "GB", what these initials mean is yet to be discovered.
  • Ivan's hair color doesn't seem to be natural, as his eyebrows are brown, and his hair is ginger.
  • According to Alex Nichiporchik, Ivan is hiding secrets and does not like speaking of Theodore.
  • In Secret Neighbor, he received a new update where he can craft new stuff such as “metal detector, night vision and danger sensor”.
  • In game files, there is concept art of each kid class. Inventor's concept art shows him with both black hair, and black eyebrows.
    • It is not known why the developers never changed both the hair and eyebrow color to be the same. It is most likely an issue that the developers noticed, but never changed for whatever reason.
  • Ivan used to have misconception with his name, as many people believed his name was "Jimmy".
    • This was because in the Rocket Science Update trailer, when Scout called the Inventor over, you can hear her say "Jimmy!". This turned out to be false, as Scout was just saying gibberish that just so happened to sound like the name Jimmy.
      • Another kid to have a misconception surrounding their name is Delroy, or the Bagger.
  • There used to be a rumor that both the Inventor and Scout where siblings.
  • In the files, Inventor's cosmetics reference him as "Engineer'.
  • In the IMDb page for Secret Neighbor, Ivan is voiced by a female voice actor. Her name is Lindsey Sheppard.
    • Ivan is not the only character is a boy and is voiced by a woman voice actor, as Bagger is also voiced by a female voice actor.
