First steps when the game starts
Step
The school is scattered with food and materials from the moment you spawn. Daylight gives you a window to collect them without the threat of teachers roaming around. Everything you pick up goes toward crafting weapons and building your fort, so the more you grab early, the better your night will go.
- Search for food you need it to keep your health up.
- Collect materials these are used for both fort construction and crafting weapons.
- Scout a building spot find a location you want to defend before night falls.

Building your fort
TipsYou can put your fort anywhere inside the school, so pick a spot that feels defensible. The more materials you pour into it, the more punishment it can take from teacher attacks during the night. Once it is standing, you are not done — you can repair and upgrade it as the game continues.
- Stack your materials to build a sturdier structure rather than spreading them thin.
- Team up with other players to build faster and cover more ground.
- Repair damage to your fort as the night goes on rather than waiting until it is too late.
Crafting weapons
CheckWeapons are made by combining materials you find around the school. Having them ready before night starts means you are not caught off guard. Preparing more than one weapon is a smart move, since relying on a single one leaves you vulnerable.
- You have collected enough materials to craft at least one weapon.
- You understand that weapons are made by combining materials, not found ready-made.
- You have more than one weapon prepared if your material supply allows it.
- Your fort and your weapons are both ready before night arrives.
Surviving the night
WarnWhen night falls, teachers appear and patrol the school. Your goal is simply to reach morning without making contact with one. Hiding inside your fort or finding a concealed spot somewhere in the school are your two main options. Working with other players to hold a defensive position makes this much easier.

Common questions
FAQHow many players can join one session?
Up to 25 players can be in the same room at once. That means you can team up with a large group to build and defend your fort together.
What happens if a teacher finds me?
Making contact with a teacher ends your game immediately. Your best options are to stay inside your fort or find a hidden spot in the school where teachers are not patrolling.
Do I need to keep working on my fort after building it?
Yes. You can repair and upgrade your fort even after it is built, so check on it during the night rather than assuming it will hold.
