The game carries an official warning for scary scenes and flashing lights. Turn your volume up for the best experience.
How the story unfolds — night by night
Step
The game follows a fixed sequence of events across two nights. Every player group goes through the same scenes, but the choices you make along the way change which ending you reach.
- Arrive at the daycare Lilly welcomes you, gives you time to explore, then holds a food vote between pizza, tacos, burgers, and octopus sandwiches; the most-voted option is served to everyone
- First night the power goes out while Lilly leaves to fix the generator, the Monster attacks, and Lilly dismisses your report when she returns
- Second morning after breakfast, Lilly puts one player in charge and leaves again; the Monster emerges from the fire extinguisher and sets the house on fire
- Escape the burning house grab a fire extinguisher to put out the fire, find the hammer on top of the bookshelf in the TV room, and use it to break open the vent above the playroom bookshelf
- Navigate the vents you will fall through twice; the second drop lands you in the kitchen, still inside; Lilly returns and the player in charge must answer for what happened
- Reach the forest smash the glass sliding door with the hammer; avoid the rotten apples (eating them costs 80 health and kills anyone at or below that threshold); vote to build a fire or a hut, survive the storm in the cave on the hill, then face the Monster again before finding the cabin
Three endings and how to reach them
TableAfter the Monster captures a player and you find the cabin, a vote decides your fate. A second run — or a third — is the only way to see all three endings, since one of them requires a specific condition you cannot control in a full lobby.
| Good Ending | vote to smash the capsule glass rather than press the button; complete the rising-water obby; a ghost defeats the Monster with a hyper beam |
| Bad Ending | vote to press the button; the captured player is burned; complete the same obby; Lilly reveals she was the Monster the whole time and fires a hyper beam at everyone |
| Secret Ending | be the only player still alive when the rain stops; the cabin door is already open; complete the obby; reach the Monster's base and kill it with a sword before escaping |
Getting unstuck when you cannot progress
Check
If you keep dying or the story will not move forward, run through this list before starting over.
- Confirm you picked up the hammer from the TV room bookshelf before trying to break the vent or the glass door
- Do not eat the rotten apples in the forest unless you are certain your health is above 80
- Make sure a vote has actually completed before expecting the story to advance
- If you are aiming for the Secret Ending, you need to be the last player alive

Common questions
FAQCan I play with fewer than six people?
The game is designed for 6 to 12 players.
Do I need to spend Robux to see all three endings?
No — all three endings are reachable without buying any gamepasses. The store items lower the difficulty, but they do not unlock story content that is otherwise blocked.
How do I get the Secret Ending if my friends keep surviving?
The Secret Ending only triggers when you are the last player alive at the point the rain stops.
I joined the Parwaz Studios group but did not get my reward — what do I do?
Rejoin the game after joining the group, since the reward check happens when you load in. Look for the reward prompt inside the game itself rather than expecting it to arrive automatically.
Why does the Monster keep appearing right when Lilly leaves?
This is central to the story's twist. The Bad Ending reveals why the timing lines up the way it does.
