Your first moments in the game
Step
When you load in, a large button is placed somewhere obvious in the play area. Before you push it, spend a moment scanning the space around you. If you're with friends, give them a heads-up before you press, so nobody gets caught by surprise.
- Find the button it's placed prominently at the start of each session, so it won't take long to spot.
- Signal your friends a fast callout before you press keeps everyone ready at the same time.
- Press the button each press launches a new disaster round and changes the play area.

Surviving disaster rounds
TipsEvery button press brings a different challenge — obbies, giant tsunamis, crushing hazards, and unexpected traps all appear across the 60 disaster types. Falling or getting caught doesn't end your run permanently, because the game moves you into the next round automatically.
- Each of the 60 disaster types plays differently, so what saved you last round might not work this time.
- Don't panic after falling — you rejoin automatically when the next round begins.
Playing with friends
CheckThe game is built around playing with a group. You don't have to follow the exact same path — splitting up and taking different routes is fine. Anyone who falls out gets pulled into the next round automatically, so the group stays together across rounds even if one person doesn't make it.
- Signal friends before pressing the button.
- Let people take separate routes it's fine.
- Anyone who falls rejoins automatically at the next round.
The pet system
SummaryA pet system was added in an update on January 31, and it gives you something to work toward between rounds. Pets are cosmetic, meaning they change how your character looks but don't give any gameplay advantage. That's worth knowing because it means players without pets are not at a disadvantage in any disaster round.
- Purpose cosmetic customization and collection, not gameplay advantage.
- Social angle comparing and showing off pets with friends is part of the appeal.
- Impact on difficulty none; every disaster plays the same whether you have pets or not.

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if I keep pressing the button over and over?
Each press triggers a new disaster from the pool of 60, so you'll keep getting different challenges.
Do I lose progress if I fall during a round?
No — falling or getting caught by a hazard doesn't kick you from the game. You're moved into the next round automatically, so you stay with your group and keep playing.
Is there any reason to spend Robux in this game?
