No open matches right now. Create one and invite other runners.
Starting monsters = difficulty's base count + one zombie per runner beyond the first. Regular portal reinforcements continue during play. Encounters can change targets; new spawns prioritize runners without a pursuer.

SERVER PRACTICE CREDITS—Sign in to reserve an entry
DEVELOPMENT MODE · Listed prizes are concepts only. No real prizes, purchased credits, cash value or payouts. Server credits are separate from the browser-only Credit Store balance.
01 / TIME CHALLENGE
Three lives. One clock.
Each entry gives three lives total. Death restarts the same maze with fresh objectives and equipment, but never resets the timer. Fastest successful entry wins the practice ranking when entry closes.
02 / MULTIPLAYER
Fill the lobby. Race the hunt.
All required players must reserve and join before launch. Everyone loads first, then starts together. First escape wins; simultaneous finishes are recorded as ties.
03 / ENTRY RULES
Know before you enter.
Ten minutes maximum per entry, including retries. An entry started before closing may finish afterwards. Waiting reservations expire after ten minutes; leaving before start or a server restart refunds active entry credits. Disconnecting after start forfeits the run.
Earn server practice credits by finishing signed-in, server-hosted multiplayer mazes: Easy +1, Medium +2, Hard +3, Hardcore +5. Admins can also issue clearly labelled testing credits. Local solo results are not accepted as verified entry credit.

THE DROWNED PASSAGE
A hand-crafted dungeon visual lab: reflected torchlight, worn arches, moss, roots and one waiting hunter. Find the key in the right-hand alcove, then unlock the far door.
Solo showcase · 20-second head start · Same controls and battery rules. Visual effects are experimental. Use the frame-rate readout to compare.
CUSTOM MAZE20 SECOND HEAD START
THE PATH IS CHOSEN FOR YOU
Dungeon → Corn. Choose only your difficulty. Start with your flashlight and find all other equipment inside the maze.
Higher difficulties unlock as you complete easier mazes: finish both Easy mazes to unlock Medium, both Medium mazes to unlock Hard, and both Hard mazes to unlock Hardcore.

Randomly assigned opposite corners. One team key per player. One exit in the centre.
Both teams must be full to start. The server randomly assigns the starting corners as the map loads; the host cannot choose them. Find Key A for Team A or Key B for Team B near the opposing corner. Teammates can carry multiple keys without using equipment slots.
Only key carriers can enter the safe room until all of their team’s keys are delivered. Then keyless teammates can enter too. The first full team inside wins. Monster deaths drop your equipment and keys; after 5 seconds you respawn at your team’s corner with empty equipment slots and a brief 2-second protection period. No player-versus-player damage.
Winners recover their stakes. 80% of the losing pool is split among winners; 20% goes to their MVP. Whole-credit rounding applies.
MVP contribution scoring
500 per unique key found—the same as a treasure chest · 500 per treasure chest · 1 point per 10 actual monster damage (up to 1,000 points) · 5 per coin (first 100) · 15 per original equipment pickup (first 20) · 10 per successful non-weapon use (first 20) · 50 per monster kill (first 100). Recovering dropped keys or equipment never repeats their pickup bonus. Ties use earlier escape, then a stable runner ID. Scores are tracked by the server.
Registered accounts only. Server practice credits only—no cash or real prizes. 0 credits allows a free test match. Leaving before countdown refunds your stake; disconnecting after countdown forfeits for your team. Deaths respawn and do not forfeit. Ties, unfinished timeouts and server restarts refund stakes. Entry closes at countdown.
2–20 players, including the host · 1–60 minutes. The match clock begins after the host's 10-second launch countdown. The game ends when time runs out, or sooner when extraction is complete.
BRING YOUR CREW
Escape together.
Choose friends to invite when you create the lobby, or find someone new by username.
Sign in to manage friends and match invitations.
New players must accept your friend request before you can invite them. Username search is opt-in. Invitations do not reserve spaces.
Players join through Join a Match while waiting or during the first 30 seconds of play, if space remains. The host chooses difficulty, maze, and everyone's starting items.
The original monster count stays, plus one zombie for every runner beyond the first. Each runner gets a pursuer; encounters can change its target. New arrivals prioritize runners without a pursuer.
