How a run works

One haunted set after another.

01Character select

Choose who enters the broadcast.

02Enter a level

The house builds a route of haunted rooms, hazards, goals, and enemies.

03Fight and collect

Defeat enemies, destroy obstacles, find pickups, and collect eyeballs.

04Complete goals

Goals can open gates and move the run toward the exit.

05Upgrade or continue

Review results, spend eyeballs when upgrades are offered, and take on the next set.

Survival basics

Stay alive on camera.

Move while you fight

Aim independently of movement, use dash to escape danger, and watch for room hazards and traps.

Use your tools

Flashlight, laser scope, grenades, pickups, and temporary weapons can change how you handle a room.

Protect your lives

If you die with lives remaining, use the respawn prompt to return. The run ends when every active player is out of lives.

Finish together

In local co-op, living players must reach the exit before the level completes.
