Teams & Win Conditions

Players split into hiders and seekers at round start. Hiders win if any survive until timer expires. Seekers win by tagging all hiders before timer.

Guard variants may augment seeker toolkit — abilities on Roles page.

Map uses prop-heavy arena with verticality — Map & Lobby preview helps.

Seeker tag within range eliminates hider — exact hitbox patch dependent.

Some configurations allow hider stuns or decoys — verify current patch Discord notes.

Round timer two to five minutes typical. Hiders earn passive coin drip while alive; seekers earn per tag.

VIP doubles eligible earnings.
