Quick answer

Before starting a run, check the lobby for configuration, mode, revive and reward options. The current official update information names a lobby config system and donations leaderboard, while the Roblox listing also points to 2 free revives through liking and joining the group.

Pre-run checklist

  1. Confirm whether you are solo or with other players.
  2. Check lobby settings before entering the Manor or update maps.
  3. Note any mode label, difficulty label, revive counter or gamepass prompt.
  4. Claim the official group/like revive reward before spending currency.
  5. Record whether a setting changes keys, monsters, timers or map access.

Lobby config

Lobby configuration matters because escape games often change route pressure before the run begins. If a setting affects difficulty, item count, monster behavior or co-op pacing, it belongs in this guide with the setting name, effect, source and last checked date.

Modes

If modes such as harder routes, lights-out variants or challenge settings appear in-game, keep them separate from the default Manor route. Each mode needs its own notes for key count, lever count, monster pressure, revive usefulness and completion reward.

Gamepasses

Gamepasses need practical player answers, not only a purchase prompt. Record the benefit, whether it is permanent, whether it applies to all maps, whether it changes revive planning, and whether it helps solo players or groups more.

Donations leaderboard

A donations leaderboard is a social/status feature unless gameplay evidence shows otherwise. Keep it separate from codes and route mechanics. If donations unlock visible cosmetics, status or benefits, document them with direct in-game proof.

What to verify next

SystemEvidence to capture
Lobby configSetting name, toggle state, visible effect.
ModesMode name, route difference, reward or badge.
GamepassesPrice, benefit, persistence after death, map coverage.
DonationsLeaderboard location, reward, cosmetic or social status.
RevivesFree claim path, counter change, death behavior.

Use Codes and Free Rewards for code status and revives. Use Keys and Levers if a lobby or mode changes route requirements. Use The Boiled One guide if a mode changes monster behavior.
