The basics of every round

Summary

In short Every round is a race to collect the right items and escape before Piggy catches you or the timer runs out.

At the start of a round, players vote on a map and a game mode. Survivors must find and use items scattered around the map to unlock doors and eventually reach the exit. You can only carry one item at a time, so drop what you've already used and pick up the next one. The infected wins if all survivors are caught or the timer hits zero.

Role　Survivor or Piggy (plus Traitor or Tagger in their respective modes)
Goal (Survivor)　complete tasks, collect items, and escape
Goal (Piggy)　catch every survivor or run the clock down
Item limit　one item at a time; drop finished items immediately
Item types　progression items open doors and advance the map; quest items solve secrets and side objectives

Controls on every platform

Table

In short Knowing your platform's controls from the start saves you from fumbling with items or traps mid-chase.

Pick up / Use item (Mobile)	tap
Pick up / Use item (Controller)	Right Trigger

Choosing your game mode

Summary

In short There are four modes in Piggy, and the right choice depends on your experience level.

Bot mode uses a computer to control Piggy. Player mode uses a human to control Piggy. Player + Bot mode has two Piggies active at once. Traitor mode adds a hidden saboteur among the survivors.

Bot mode　a computer controls Piggy
Player mode　a human controls Piggy
Player + Bot　two Piggies are active at once
Traitor mode　one survivor secretly works against the group

Key item categories and how to use them

Tips

In short Matching each item to the correct coloured door or mechanism is the core skill every survivor needs.

Items fall into three broad groups: progression items that open the path forward, quest items that unlock secrets, and offensive items that slow Piggy down.

Tips worth knowing

Keys come in many colours — green, red, blue, orange, yellow, purple, white, pink, grey, and more — and each one opens only the door that matches its colour.
Keycards work the same way as keys but in four colours: green, red, blue, and orange.
Gears come in green, red, and white; they are used on mechanical puzzles rather than doors.
Some items are consumable and disappear after one use.
The gun and ammo are offensive items that temporarily stun Piggy.

Getting unstuck when a run goes wrong

Check

In short Most failed runs come down to a missing item, a bad search route, or no traps laid — each one has a straightforward fix.

If you keep failing the same map, work through this list before changing anything drastic. Item placement can vary each run. Check every floor and any hidden rooms before concluding an item doesn't exist. If you joined a server mid-game, leave and rejoin — you'll land in a fresh server at the start of a new round.

Can't find a needed item search hidden rooms and every floor; items do not always spawn in the same spot
Exit won't open check your inventory and confirm every required item has been used
Round already in progress when you join leave and rejoin to connect to a fresh server

Multiple endings in certain chapters

Tips

In short Several chapters have branching endings, and each ending awards its own separate badge.

Book 1's final chapter, Plant, has three distinct endings: a bad ending, a good ending, and a true ending. Book 2's Chapter 6, Factory, and Book 2's final chapter, Lab, also each have multiple endings.

Tips worth knowing

Plant — Chapter 12 of Book 1 has a bad ending, a good ending, and a true ending, each with its own badge.
Factory — Book 2, Chapter 6 offers a Savior Ending and a Survivor Ending.
Lab — Book 2, Chapter 12 has five distinct endings: Tigry-Savior, Tigry-Survivor, Willow-Survivor, Willow-Savior, and a Hidden Ending.

Working together in multiplayer

Tips

In short Splitting responsibilities between players makes escaping significantly easier than everyone doing the same thing.

Piggy supports up to six players in a round. Build Mode is completely free and lets you design and share custom maps with other players. Private servers require Robux but let you play exclusively with friends.

Tips worth knowing

Build Mode is completely free and lets you design and share custom maps with other players.
Private servers require Robux but give you a controlled environment with only invited friends.

What you need to buy and what you don't

Warn

In short Every chapter and mode is playable without spending anything — the only paywalled feature is the private server.

All chapters are completable without spending Robux. Paid items are cosmetic skins and similar extras. The one exception is private servers, which do require Robux.

Worth watching out for

All chapters are free to attempt no purchase unlocks a chapter that is otherwise blocked.

Paid cosmetics change how your character looks, not how the game plays.

Build Mode is free design and publish maps at no cost.

Private servers are the only feature that costs Robux.

Drop an item the moment you've finished using it, then pick up the next one you need.

Can I complete the whole game without spending Robux?

Yes — every chapter and every mode is available without any purchase. Paid options cover cosmetic skins and private servers, neither of which affects your ability to escape or win a round.

How do I unlock all three endings in Plant?

Plant, the final chapter of Book 1, has a bad ending, a good ending, and a true ending, each tied to different actions taken during the run.

How do I stun Piggy?

Find the gun and ammo somewhere on the map and use them to stun Piggy temporarily.

Can I play Piggy alone?

Yes, you can play solo. Rounds support up to six players, but there is no minimum, so you can jump in by yourself and let the bot control Piggy.
