Try To Die 💀
The basic idea
Summary
Unlike a normal obby, surviving is not the point. Each room hides a mechanism that kills your character, and finding it is the puzzle. Killbrick — the red block with a face — is the most common way out, and walking into it ends the level.
- Goal die to advance, not survive
- Killbrick walk into the red block to die and clear most levels
- Multiplayer friends can play through levels alongside you
MetaNew Player Survey
The next survey is being prepared.
Getting through the first level
StepThe first level is called The Hole, and it is exactly what it sounds like. There is one correct action and no puzzle to solve beyond noticing what the level is named.
- Look around the room find the large hole in the floor.
- Jump in fall down the hole and the level ends.
- Check level 0 before moving on, go back to Credits (level 0) if you want to see who made the game, since it is not beatable and just shows developer credits.
The skip button
Warn
On the right side of level 1, a character named Astro Pixel77 stands next to a red button. Pressing it jumps you past the first 25 stages. It was originally placed there because player data was not carried over from a major early update, but it was never removed.
Level 13 — Horror Game walkthrough
StepHorror Game is level 13. It is built like a small horror house, and finishing it means following a chain of objects through a few rooms.
- Open the door enter the house from the starting door.
- Find the key in the first room, look at the table with the TV showing static and grab the key sitting on it.
- Go deeper head down the hallway and take the stairs down.
- Use the key unlock the door at the bottom of the stairs.
- Click the button read the screen labelled with the old game name, then press the green Open button to trigger the jumpscare that ends the level.
Level 27 — Reach It 3 walkthrough
StepReach It 3 is level 27 and is considered very difficult for new players. The room has a tower in one corner, a ball, a ramp, and two holes you need to fill before you can climb. An in-level tip sign tells you the key trick with shiftlock.
- Fill the holes find the pushable ice block and shove it into both holes so they are covered.
- Get the ball to the ramp push the ball toward the ramp that leads up toward the central tower.
- Use shiftlock on the ramp hold shiftlock and push the ball backward up the slope; this is the method the in-game tip sign recommends.
- Climb the tower use the ball as a stepping stone to get up the central tower where Killbrick waits at the top.
- Bypass route you can jump directly from the normal platform to the tower and reach Killbrick without going through every step.
Level 45 — The Small Ceiling Hole walkthrough
Step
The Small Ceiling Hole is level 45 and is considered one of the hardest levels in the game. It takes place inside a flashing-color cube where some blocks behave normally and white blocks let you wall-jump. A sign inside the level tells you exactly which jump to skip.
- Know which blocks do what white blocks let you wall-jump onto them; all other colored blocks are solid platforms.
- Follow the wall-jump chain wall-jump onto red, cross to cyan, move to orange, reach the magenta platform with green walls, then do a tight wall-jump to the next cyan platform.
- Skip the magenta dead end a sign confirms you cannot wall-jump onto the magenta platform from that point, so go to the red platform instead.
- Finish the route from red, cross to orange, wall-jump to magenta, then wall-jump through the small ceiling hole at the top.
- Bail-out option a sign in a corner points to a pool of water you can drown in if you want to restart.
Level 46 — Cleaned Up walkthrough
TipsCleaned Up is level 46 and is based on a Roblox game called Clean Up Roblox. You choose one of six booths, morph into the character inside it, and wait for a cleaner NPC to walk through and decide whether to shoot you. Being shot is the goal.
- Walk into a booth to morph into that character.
- Each cleaner NPC has different reactions to each character, so the combination of who you become and which cleaner appears determines whether you get shot.
- If the cleaner spares you, leave the booth and try a different one on the next pass.
Level 47 — Drop Me walkthrough
StepDrop Me is level 47 and parodies the Adopt Me baby-dropping meme. Your character plays a baby, and you need a specific parent NPC to pick you up and carry you to the water.
- Ask WeirdCreepyPurpleBacon first if he is already in the room, ask him for adoption and then watch the sequence play out.
- If he is not there ask any of the other parent NPCs for adoption repeatedly, up to 15 times, to make him appear.
- Once he adopts you he carries you to the bridge and drops you into the water, which kills you and clears the level.

Common questions
FAQHow do I beat level 1?
Find the large hole in the floor and jump into it. Falling through the hole counts as dying and clears the level.
Should I press the red skip button in level 1?
The button skips all 25 of the earliest stages at once. As of 2026, the button is still there.
The ball keeps rolling away on level 27 — what am I doing wrong?
Turn on shiftlock before you push the ball up the ramp. This lets you push the ball backward up the slope, which is the technique the in-level tip sign recommends.
I keep getting spared in level 46 — how do I get shot?
Each cleaner NPC reacts differently to each character booth, so switch to a different booth and try again.
WeirdCreepyPurpleBacon is not in the room in level 47 — what do I do?
Ask the other parent NPCs for adoption repeatedly. Asking up to 15 times causes him to appear. Once he adopts you, the rest of the level plays out automatically.
