Reading a stage before you move
TipsEach stage is a set of smaller obstacles chained together. Pausing for a moment to trace the full route — that platform, then that box, then that ledge — makes the whole thing much cleaner to run.
- Scan the whole stage from where you stand before taking your first jump.
- Pick one obstacle at a time.
- If you fall, a checkpoint sends you back to a nearby spot rather than all the way to the start.
- The distance of each jump increases gradually across stages, so practice the feel of it early.
Fixing the mistakes that block progress around stage 10
CheckDifficulty rises noticeably after stage 10. If you keep falling at the same spot, slow down and check each of these before trying again.
- Are you jumping too early? Push off from the very edge of the platform for full distance.
- Is your landing target wide enough? Narrow ledges need slower, more deliberate hops.
- Is the camera blocking your view? Rotate it so you can see the landing spot clearly.
- Are you steady right after a checkpoint? The first few steps after respawning are where many players rush and fall again.
Late-stage obstacles from stage 20 onward
WarnLater stages go beyond simple jumping. Moving platforms and faster-paced sequences demand that you study the rhythm of each hazard before stepping onto it.
Avoiding the teachers
TipsTeachers move predictably. Watching their route for a moment gives you a clear window to run.
- Watch a teacher's movement before you commit to crossing their path.
- When spotted, head in the opposite direction rather than trying to push through.
- Look for obstacles you can duck behind or climb onto to break the teacher's line of sight.
- Getting caught does not end the whole stage — you can retry from where you are without losing all your progress.
Staying sharp over a long session
TipsGrinding the same stage for an hour rarely works. Switching up your approach keeps things moving.
- Knock out an easier earlier stage when a hard one is getting frustrating.
- Playing with a friend turns a brutal stage into something you can problem-solve together.
- Watching someone else run a difficult stage on video can reveal a route you would never have spotted on your own.

Common questions
FAQI keep falling at the same obstacle. What should I do?
Stop and look at the whole stage from where you stand, then plan each jump one at a time instead of rushing. Check whether your jump timing, landing target, or camera angle is off — those three things cause most repeated failures. If none of that helps, step away and try again later.
Does spending Robux make the stages easier?
No. Every player faces the same 31 obstacle stages regardless of whether they spend anything. You can complete the entire game without paying.
The teacher keeps catching me. How do I get past?
Watch the teacher move through their pattern once or twice before crossing their path — they follow a consistent route that you can read and predict. When caught, go the opposite direction and look for an obstacle to hide behind.
Are the new weekly stages harder than the original ones?
The difficulty of new stages varies depending on when they are added. Clear all the current stages first so you have a solid handle on the controls before taking on whatever comes next.
