How each round works
Table
In short
Your entire goal flips depending on which role you get.
Every round assigns you one of two roles. Hiders win by staying alive and picking off Seekers with a knife; Seekers win by tracking down and shooting every Hider. Up to ten players share a round across both teams.
| Hider | fake your death, stay hidden, and use your knife to take revenge on Seekers who get too close. |
| Seeker | carry your gun and hunt down every Hider on the map. |
