- Explore the whole room check every corner before assuming there is no exit.
- Check overhead some exits require you to climb or jump to reach them.
- Move through the exit once you find it, push forward into the next area rather than doubling back.

Staying ahead of the stepdad
Tips
The evil stepdad chases you throughout the escape. Stopping or losing your sense of direction when he gets close is what gets most players caught.
- Run the moment he appears — any hesitation closes the gap fast.
- Keep the exit in mind while fleeing — know which direction you're heading before he even shows up.
- Use corners to your advantage — cutting around a bend breaks his line of sight.
- Never stand still — keep moving forward even while you figure out the next step.
