How infection mode works

Summary

In short Every round comes down to one side surviving and the other side spreading — know which role you have and what winning looks like.

Baboon Tag Ultra runs on an infection ruleset. One or more players start as the tagger, and anyone they touch becomes a tagger too. The round ends when either time runs out or everyone has been tagged.

Runners　survive until the round ends without being touched
Taggers　touch every remaining runner to win
Role change　contact with a tagger turns a runner into a tagger instantly
Maps　jungle, caves, and city each have different terrain to use or avoid
Movement　running, jumping, and climbing are all available and all matter

Escaping as a runner

Tips

In short Using height and multiple exit routes keeps you alive far longer than running in a straight line.

Because the maps include walls, rocks, and obstacles you can climb, moving in three dimensions is almost always better than staying on flat ground.

Tips worth knowing

Climb walls and rocks to get above taggers and create distance quickly
Never run toward a group of taggers — turn and go the opposite way
Avoid dead ends and narrow passages where taggers can block both sides

Chasing as a tagger

Tips

In short Coordinating with other taggers to cut off runners beats raw speed every time.

Working with other taggers to funnel runners into tight spots gives you a much higher chance of making a tag.

Tips worth knowing

Move to cut off where a runner is heading rather than chasing from behind
Stay close enough to other taggers that you can form a pincer
Push runners toward narrow corridors or dead ends where escaping is harder

The obby and the secret hideout

Step

In short Both the obby and the hideout are worth seeking out because they reward you with badges.

Two of the game's six badges come from exploration rather than the tag gameplay itself. The obby is an obstacle course built into the game, and finishing it earns you a badge. Somewhere on the maps there is also a hidden spot that, once found, awards its own badge.

Complete the obby the badge only unlocks when you reach the end
Hunt for the hideout search the maps for the secret spot
Collect the badge finding the hideout triggers the reward

All six badges

Table

In short Five badges are earnable through normal play; the Developer Tag badge is rare because it requires a developer to be in your session.

Each badge is tied to a specific action.

Badge	How to earn it
Welcome	Play the game for the first time
You Tagged	Touch another monkey while you are the tagger
You Won a Round	Win a round, either by surviving or by tagging everyone
You Found the Hideout	Discover the secret spot hidden somewhere on the maps
You Completed the Obby	Finish the obstacle course from beginning to end
You Tagged a Developer	Tag a Dev Builds developer during a live session

Cosmetics and customization

Summary

In short The in-game shop lets you change how your monkey looks without affecting gameplay.

Baboon Tag Ultra has a cosmetics shop where you can pick up hats and other items to personalize your monkey.

Shop　visit the in-game cosmetics shop to browse available items
Hats　wearable items that change your monkey's appearance

Common questions

FAQ

How many players can join one session?

Up to 20 players can be in a single room at once. All of them participate in infection mode together, either running or tagging.

Where is the secret hideout?

The hideout is tucked away somewhere on the maps. The badge triggers automatically once you reach it.

How do I get the Developer Tag badge?

You need a Dev Builds developer to join your session, then tag them. It is a rare opportunity.

Do cosmetics make me faster or harder to tag?

No. Hats and other cosmetic items are visual only and have no effect on speed, jumping, or any other part of gameplay.
