What happens when you roll
TipsShields give you one layer of protection if the worst happens.
- Rolling death eliminates you from that round.
- If you have a shield when you roll death, the shield breaks and you stay in — but you have no protection after that.
- Super Bad Luck is a special result that also ends your run.
- Super Cursed, Freezing, and Banana Peel are additional special outcomes that can land on you.
- When everyone rolls together, the chance of a bad result goes up for everyone.
Coins and how to spend them
WarnCoins are the game's currency. You use them to buy skins and to unlock Hardcore Mode. Skins only change your appearance and have no effect on gameplay.
Badges worth chasing
StepThere are 20 badges in total. Some come from stacking up wins, others from specific dice results or completing the obby.
- Win your first game the First Win badge unlocks as soon as you take a victory.
- Stack wins over time milestones at 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 wins each give their own badge.
- Roll death getting eliminated by the death result earns the Death badge.
- Block death with a shield when your shield breaks saving you, you get the Protected! badge.
- Roll special results Super Bad Luck, Super Cursed, Freezing, and Banana Peel each have their own badge.

Common questions
FAQDoes my shield activate automatically?
Yes. When you roll death and you have a shield, it breaks automatically and you stay in the round. Once it is gone, the next death roll will eliminate you.
Why am I not getting coins after winning?
If you are on a VIP server, wins do not grant coins. Switch to a normal server and wins will reward you as expected.
Do skins make me stronger?
No. Skins change how your character looks and nothing else. There is no gameplay advantage to owning any skin.
