Death Order: Simon Says Guide: The one rule that decides everything

Rounds don't all look the same. The game throws a wide range of chaos events at players, and each one demands a different skill. Obstacle course rounds ask you to move quickly through a track. Timing rounds like Split Second put you head-to-head with one other player and reward whoever stops the clock closest. Hide-and-seek and killer rounds flip the objective entirely. Party-style rounds like Musical Chairs and Pass the Bomb force snap decisions. Horror rounds like The Chamber and Gas Cell are about escaping or dodging. Whatever round you land in, read the situation before you act.

Simon's orders come quickly, and the pace is designed to make you slip. The most common mistake is reacting to the action word before you have confirmed whether 'Simon Says' came before it. Building a small mental pause into every command is the habit that separates players who last to the end from those who drop early.

There are 21 official badges in the game. The earliest ones unlock just by showing up and playing — Welcome to Death Order triggers on your first join. After that, Day One through Day 5 and the Lifer badge reward you for surviving across multiple sessions. Competitive badges push you further: reach the final three players for Finalist, win without losing a life for Untouchable, or win the redemption trial for Owed Nothing. Some badges are tied to specific round types, so you will pick them up naturally as you meet different chaos events.

The game distributes redeem codes from time to time, and each code can only be used once per account. Codes expire, so enter any you find without waiting. The game launched recently and the developers acknowledge bugs are present. If something behaves strangely during a round, report it in the community server so the team can address it.
