Learn the map
Each floor has a different layout. Spend your first few games exploring rather than focusing on winning.
Start completing tasks
Tasks are marked on your screen. Complete them as quickly as possible to unlock the elevator.
Listen for audio cues
Dandy makes sounds when nearby. Use headphones for the best awareness.
Stay with a teammate
Solo survivors are easy targets. Stay near one teammate for safety.
Use your ability wisely
Save your character ability for emergencies not convenience.
Watch the task counter
When tasks are almost complete get near the elevator ready to board.
Do not panic when chased
Running in a straight line is predictable. Use corners and obstacles to create distance.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Running in straight lines
Makes you an easy target for Dandy to chase down.
❌ Ignoring tasks to hide
You need tasks done to escape. Hiding too much wastes valuable time.
❌ Using ability too early
Save it for when Dandy is actually close and you need to escape.
❌ Playing alone
Solo survivors are easily picked off. Stick with a teammate whenever possible.
