Your first moves when a stage begins
Step
As soon as you load into a stage, check how much time you have left on the clock so you can pace yourself. Then start moving — walls, floors, furniture, and decorations can all hide something useful. The room is built so that every corner holds a secret and every sound can point you toward a clue, so slow down and pay attention to both what you see and what you hear.
- Check the timer know how much time you are working with before anything else.
- Sweep the whole room do not skip a corner, including spots that look empty.
- Interact with objects click on wall decorations and furniture, not just obvious items.
- Listen as you explore sounds in the room can be clues just like physical objects.
- Share discoveries immediately tell teammates what you spotted the moment you spot it.

Stages and what makes each one different
Tips
There are more than 22 stages, each built around a different setting and mood. Some lean on time pressure, some lean on horror atmosphere, and at least one hides a twist that only reveals itself at the very end.
- Panic In The Airplane and Panic In The Subway are built around urgency — a fire and an oncoming train.
- CHERNOBYL is described as quite difficult.
- HELP - The Morgue's Curse and APOCALYPSE - The End Of The World carry heavier horror atmospheres than most other stages.
- CIRCUS holds a surprise: pulling off a mask late in the stage reveals that things are not what they appeared.
- Clearing a stage earns you that stage's badge, so badge-hunting is a built-in reason to work through every room.
- Up to 30 players can join a single room, which means you can bring a large group without splitting up.
Puzzle-solving approach
CheckA single clue rarely solves anything by itself. If you hit a wall on one puzzle, move to a different part of the room instead of staring at the same object.
- Ask whether clues from different spots match same color, same number, same symbol.
- Check whether you have used every clue you found, or if one is still sitting unused.
- Pay attention to sounds, not just visuals audio can whisper directions the room's decor does not.
- Get a second opinion from a teammate a different angle can unlock something you missed.
Co-op teamwork
Tips
A room holds up to 30 players, but size alone does not win — coordination does. Decide before you explore who is handling which area, and keep the conversation going throughout.
- Every found clue goes into chat so nobody duplicates the search.
- When the clock gets low, everyone stops and pools all remaining clues together.
- Complex puzzles are best tackled as a group rather than having one person work through alone.
When you are stuck and going nowhere
Warn
Both problems have the same fix: stop, take stock, and look again.
