What kind of game is this?

Enter the island unarmed and search buildings and supply spots. Equipment and locations vary each match; bots fill empty slots. Start solo or invite friends to compete to be the last survivor.

The safe zone alternates between waiting and shrinking. Watch the next circle and your route while looting, as staying outside costs health. Armor and helmets protect different areas; stop moving to heal.

Your first steps

  1. Choose a survivor name and start alone or create an invitation room. Friends join using a six-character code or invitation link.
  2. Find weapons, ammo and armor in nearby buildings. Prioritize essentials and check your selected weapon and ammunition.
  3. Move toward the next safe zone shown on the map. Choose cover for fights, then reload and heal in a safe place.

Helpful playing tips

  • Not all ammo fits every weapon. Check your current gun's ammunition and backup weapon to avoid unnecessary searching.
  • Moving, shooting or taking damage cancels healing. Start healing behind a wall or terrain rather than in an exposed path.
  • Other survivors may approach supply drops. Watch surrounding cover and your return route as well as the supplies.

Saving and playing together

Where is progress saved?

Each match starts fresh. Browser preferences such as nicknames are separate from match state; a finished match cannot be resumed on another device.

Can I play with friends?

Up to eight human players can join, with bots filling vacancies. In invitation rooms, the host checks participants and starts the match.
