LOCKDOWN is an experiment that the Spinner can select in social experiment . It was added in v1.2.0 on June 25th, 2022.
Pre-blackout
The LOCKDOWN experiment starts when several players are randomly selected to be hunters. They are given masks, flashlights, and axes to kill non-hunters. Hunters are locked in a cage above the spinner.
A 90-second countdown timer starts, giving non-hunters time to hide from the hunters.
The main part of the LOCKDOWN experiment starts when the timer reaches zero. All lights in the building will go out, leaving players in pitch black. An 85-second countdown timer marks how long the blackout lasts.
Hunters are freed out of the cage and free to roam around to kill non-hunters. However, they cannot open or close doors. This means the only safe place for non-hunters is closed rooms. Avatars of those killed during the blackout appear on the spinner.
During the blackout, players can interact with vending machines to obtain free food once.
Post-blackout
The LOCKDOWN experiment ends and all lights are turned on. Hunters turn into normal players, and all players that died before or during the blackout are revived.(YAYAYYAAYAYAYY)
Tips and tricks
- While closed rooms are the only absolute safe places for non-hunters, hunters tend to not check the Graveyard . Non-hunters can hide behind the graves to evade the hunters.
- The hunters' large axes allow them to kill players through the rooms' walls and doors. Non-hunters are advised to stay away from walls and doors during the blackout.
- Ghosts can open doors during the experiment. Some ghosts may open doors to troll the rooms' occupants, so it is best to always check if the doors are not open.
- Players are given the Hunter badge when they become hunters in this experiment.
- If a player was killed by a hunter, their death info will show their cause of death as " hunted ".
- While all ghosts are revived when the experiment ends, players who were killed in the blackout will have their streaks reset as a result of dying.
