How a round plays out
Step
At the start of each round the bottle spins and lands on one player, giving that person the gun. The shooter then has fifteen seconds to eliminate someone. Only one player leaves the round — either a target the shooter kills, or the shooter themselves if they fail or get taken down first.
- Bottle spin the game picks one player to hold the gun at the start of every round.
- Shooting window the shooter has fifteen seconds to eliminate at least one other player.
- Shooter kills someone that target is knocked out and the round ends.
- Shooter runs out of time the shooter is eliminated instead.
- Another player kills the shooter the shooter is eliminated and the round ends.
- Repeat rounds continue until only one player is left standing, and that player wins.

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if the shooter does not eliminate anyone in time?
The shooter is eliminated and the round ends. A new round then begins with the bottle spinning again to pick a different shooter.
Can non-shooters attack each other?
No. During any given round, non-shooters cannot eliminate one another. Your only threat as a non-shooter is the player currently holding the gun.
Does fighting back as a non-shooter actually help?
Yes. If you eliminate the shooter, that counts as the shooter's death and ends the round.
