The teamwork basics you need from the start
Check
This game is built around cooperation — you escape together or you get caught together. Before the run starts, make sure your group is actually ready, because a team that is split up or out of sync is easy for Karen to pick off.
- Everyone is in the server before you push forward a lone player left behind slows the whole team.
- Decide who leads and who watches the back, even briefly in chat, so nobody is guessing mid-stage.
- Use text chat to call out what is coming so the team stays coordinated.
- Match the pace of your slowest teammate moving fast alone does not help if someone falls and the group breaks apart.
Getting through stages without losing anyone
TipsKaren is always chasing, so the pressure to rush is real. The problem is that rushing causes falls, and falls break your formation. Steady and together is faster than fast and scattered.
- Learn the layout of each stage over multiple runs — the shortest safe route becomes obvious once you know where the hazards are.
- If a teammate falls, give them a moment to recover rather than pressing on and splitting the group further.
Trick items and when to actually use them
Tips
The game gives you in-game perks you can use to prank your friends. The timing of when you pull them out is everything.
- Finish the stage first — save the trick items until your team is clear and no longer being chased.
- Use the lobby or downtime between stages — that is when pranks land as laughs rather than disasters.

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if Karen catches me?
Getting caught by Karen is its own outcome — there is a badge for it.
What is the difference between finishing normally and finishing Hard Mode?
Completing the regular escape earns the Winners badge, while clearing Hard Mode earns a separate Hard Mode Winners badge.
When is the right time to use trick items on friends?
After a stage is finished and the team is safe, not during an active run. Using them mid-stage risks causing a teammate to fall.
