Core rules

How a match works

Five Bunnies climb four procedural floors while one Hunter delays, catches, and eliminates them. Learn the shared rhythm before the role-specific details.

Bunnies / team objective

Climb, power the exit, escape

Bunnies have no basic attack. Their leverage comes from movement, hiding, items, loadout gear, and making the Hunter cover several possible routes.

  • Complete room objectives and open useful shortcuts.
  • Share keys, cogs, recovery items, and route information.
  • Reach the Grand Door or use the Lost Hat during Final Phase.
Hunter / control objective

Delay, catch, remove protection

The Hunter is faster than a Bunny and controls space with a character-specific kit. Catches become valuable when the team cannot rescue safely.

  • Guard active objectives and listen for noisy interactions.
  • Steal resources and force Bunnies into unsafe rotations.
  • Remove Life Gears, isolate targets, and secure eliminations.

Rules that decide fights

Charge, protection, and status

These shared mechanics explain most first-match confusion.

Package

Charge is your ability to act

The normal maximum is 100. Sprinting, heavy carrying, active abilities, and most non-critical skill checks consume it.

Open reference In-game text

Life Gears are protection

A Bunny begins with three. Oiler can restore one missing gear up to that normal maximum.

Panic changes trap interactions

A panicked Bunny does not trigger Impostors or Mannequins, and the hotfix prevents Confusion from being added during Panic.

Open reference Package

Confusion prevents sprinting

Scream of Pain applies the five-second configured effect instead of Stun, unless the target is already panicked.

Final Phase changes the objective

It starts after 25 minutes, when the final gate opens, or when only one Bunny remains.
