How a round works
Step
When you join the game you land in a lobby and wait for other players to fill the server. Once enough people are in, the round launches on its own and the game picks who becomes the Brainrot. Each round runs on a unique stage, so the layout you face this time will be different from the last.
- Join the lobby walk in and the matchmaking starts by itself, no extra steps needed.
- Wait for players the round kicks off automatically when the headcount is met.
- Roles are assigned one player becomes the Brainrot chaser; everyone else is a runner.
- Play the stage runners tackle the obby while the chaser hunts them down.
- Round ends it's over when either the runners reach the goal or time runs out.

Playing as a runner
Tips
Runners win by clearing the obby and hitting the goal, or by staying alive until the time limit expires. The chaser's attention is easier to split when multiple runners are moving at once, so grouping up helps. Scout the stage early for shortcuts, hidden paths, and high routes that let you skip ahead.
- Getting to the goal matters more than avoiding the chaser — keep moving forward.
- Moving in a group forces the chaser to pick a target instead of cornering one person.
- Check the stage layout as soon as the round starts so you spot shortcuts before you need them.
- Weave and change direction instead of running in a straight line when the chaser is close.
- Use jump pads and obstacles to put distance between yourself and the Brainrot.

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend Robux to unlock everything?
No. Coins drop from completing rounds and are enough to unlock items on their own. The full game is playable and rewarding without any purchase.
Can I play by myself?
The game technically runs with whatever players are in the server, but it's designed around a group where one chaser hunts many runners.
Is every stage the same?
No — each round brings a unique stage layout.
How do I know when a round is about to start?
You don't need to do anything. The game fills the lobby and launches the round automatically once enough players are present.
