How a round works

Step
In short Each floor follows the same pattern — doors open, a threat appears, and you have to move before it reaches you.

You join the elevator with other players and wait for the doors to open. The moment they do, a monster or killer is on the other side. Your job is to read the situation and reach safety before you get caught. If you are caught, you are out, but surviving players continue and the game goes on without you.

  1. Join the elevator wait inside with the other players until the doors open.
  2. Identify the threat figure out what type of enemy has appeared so you know how it moves.
  3. Move to safety use corners and cover rather than running in a straight line away from the enemy.
