Hunting Mode #

The hunting mode is when the ghost tries to kill a single player. It only happens after Setup Phase.

When does it start #

Start Duration: 8 seconds

You are safe for the first 8 seconds of the hunt.

Your flashlights will start to flicker and the house lights will flicker. The front door will lock for the duration of the hunt.

After that initial flickering, the ghost will start to move inside the house to kill a player. Your flashlights will flicker for the duration of the hunt.

During the hunt the radio on your shoulder does not work at all.

How to hide #

• hide inside a closet or locker
• hide inside a room and close the door
• burn a Smudge Stick when the ghost is near you to give yourself more time to hide

When does it end #

When the flashlight and houselights stop flickering the hunt is over.

• make note of any rooms you can hide in while walking around
