You’re surrounded by a crowd. People will run at you one at a time, and you have to quickly decide whether they’re a friend or an attacker.

You only have two buttons, and you won’t have much time to react.


Don’t judge people by their clothes, colors, hats, or body type. Those can all be misleading. Instead, watch their movement:

  • Friend: comes in with an open hand for a high five.
  • Attacker: prepares to strike while keeping the other hand hidden.

As your combo increases, people move faster and reveal their intentions later, so you’ll have less time to make the call.

Make your choice at the last possible moment to score a PERFECT. Perfect reads are worth double points and help build momentum through the crowd. Wait too long and an attacker will hit you.

Make three mistakes and the run ends.

CROWD RUN

In CROWD RUN, you move through an endless crowd while trying to build the highest score possible.

Keep your combo going, move toward high-value scoring areas, collect hearts when you need them, and progress through different districts such as the plaza, market, underpass, and neon row.

Each district ends with a boss encounter. Bosses don’t have health bars. Instead, they test your ability to read increasingly difficult patterns.

  • THE HOST changes the patterns you’ve learned to rely on.
  • THE SILHOUETTE makes body cues harder to see.
  • THE TURNCOAT uses fake movements before revealing the real answer.
  • THE IMPOSTOR makes appearances especially misleading.

Beat a boss by correctly reading its full sequence of attacks and friendly approaches.
