About

How a round works
Summary
In short
Every round is a race — survivors need to reach the exit before the killer catches them all.
Each session holds up to nine players. At the start of a round, one player takes the killer role and the rest are survivors. Survivors win by escaping the map; the killer wins by catching every survivor before anyone gets out.
- Killer hunts survivors and tries to catch all of them before anyone escapes
- Survivors explore the map, find the exit, and get out without being caught
- Round end if all survivors escape, survivors win; if all are caught, the killer wins
- Map pool five or more different maps rotate through sessions
- Room size up to nine players share one session

02
Surviving as a survivor
TipsIn short
Knowing the map layout before the killer finds you is the single biggest advantage a survivor can have.
Survivors need to move fast and think ahead.
Tips worth knowing
- When the killer is chasing a teammate, use that window to push toward the exit.
- Complex terrain slows the killer down, so lead pursuits through tight or winding areas.
