Read the mode before you reuse a strategy

What Free for All, Bloodbath, Double Cards, Four Teams, and Roundabout change, plus the seasonal and developer-run modes you should not expect on a normal vote.

The lobby vote picks a mode before the round. Read that mode. An event name you recognize can still behave differently when the hand size or the team rules change.

Modes on the normal vote

Mode What changes
Free for All No extra events, cards, or other modifications
Bloodbath Elimination events are more likely
Double Cards Whenever you receive cards, you receive two instead of one
Four Teams Players are randomly split into four teams of four
Roundabout The clown moves to the next closest player, left or right

In Four Teams, check the team marker before you choose a target. A player who would be a threat in Free for All may be on your team. In Double Cards, read the new cards after each deal. Two cards means more triggers, not two Use Card buttons. In Bloodbath, the prompt matters more than the shop.

Roundabout is also the only mode tied to the Reverse card. The card's effect text was not available in the sources read here.

April Fools modes

Competitive makes players duel. One player has to eliminate the other before time runs out, or both are eliminated. The update note presented it as a mode with less luck.

Quadruple Cards deals four cards whenever you would receive cards. The same note warned about holding too many Death cards. A second Death is already an instant elimination attempt in the card rules, so four deals raise that risk.

These two were listed as seasonal, not as permanent vote options.

Modes you do not start yourself

The 50 Players event is a larger free-for-all. The table shrinks when someone dies, and the winner was described as choosing 30 wheel spins or a gamepass from the developer. It runs when Isak or Ree uses a command.

3lives starts everyone with 3 shields and a revolver. Players shoot the person they want gone, and three hits eliminate someone. That is a developer-run mode, not the normal vote.

Many Guns, listed among limited events, gives each player 2 shields and a shot, with elimination on the third hit. The shield count is not the same as 3lives. Black Hole is described as a black hole from the clown's box that engulfs the map and causes players to leave. None of these are reasons to install a script or pay another player.

A clip of a giant table, a pile of shields, or a developer command does not mean a public server will offer that setup. Learn the five vote modes first. Details of each round event stay in the event catalog.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are you trying to do in a match?

Be the last player alive. Up to 15 other players sit at the table with you while the clown runs events and hands out cards. The official description calls the game a mix of luck and strategy, so a correct read does not guarantee the next shot.

Is Safety the same card as Shield?

The current card name in the card references is Safety: if the clown shoots you while you hold it, the card breaks and you survive. The Still standing badge still says shield card. Older write-ups also say Shield. Read the card in your hand if a later update renames it again.

Why did my card do nothing?

Active cards fire on their own trigger, Passive cards work while you hold them, and only Activation cards use the Use Card control. Blank does not apply in duels, and a printed Blank example also excludes PVP events. Vengeance is also described as not working during duels, a stab, or hostage. A turn counter can expire the card before you needed it.

Do the 15% group bonus and 25% Premium bonus add up to 40%?

No published formula says that. The game description advertises both bonuses separately and does not explain whether they stack. Do not add the two percentages together.

Can I still open the old cave or claim the Disco Ball?

The cave hatch's old opening is described as disabled, and the Disco Ball character effect is described as unobtainable. The 2025 Halloween Suspicious Mushroom display is also described as unobtainable. An old video can show a real past route that no longer opens.
