Scream And Run, room by room

Live figures

The five keys are shuffled into different backpacks every round, so no guide can tell you which room your key is in. What does not change is which rooms hold backpacks worth searching, which rooms give you somewhere to hide, and where the Cat walks.

• Classroom

  • Backpacks
  • Hiding spot
  • Patrolled

  The room type players name most often. Backpacks sit among the desks, and it holds more confirmed hiding places than anywhere else in the school.

  • •Hidey holes
  • •Under the desks
  • •Inside a clock
  • "there's little hidey holes... In the classrooms"
  • "I'm hiding in a clock. I'm hiding in a classroom."

• Cafeteria

  • Backpacks
  • Patrolled

  Named by players as a room that is easy to forget on a sweep. A vending machine stands here.

  • "THE CAFETERIA. We haven't checked the cafeteria"
  • "there's a vending machine"

• Library

  • Backpacks
  • Patrolled

  Confirmed on camera as a searchable room.

  • "I'm in the library"

• Gymnasium

  • Backpacks
  • Patrolled

  Large open floor. Sightlines are long, so there is little cover once the Cat enters.

  • "Okay, the gymnasium"

• Bathroom

  • Backpacks
  • Hiding spot
  • Patrolled

  Both a search room and a hiding room.

  • •Stalls and corners
  • Named in walkthrough footage as a backpack room

• Indoor Playground

  • Patrolled

  An indoor play structure inside the school building. Players single it out because it is unexpected.

  • "this school has a playground on the inside"

• Closet

  • Hiding spot

  A dedicated hiding room rather than a search room.

  • •Step inside and hold still
  • Named among hiding spots in gameplay footage

• Hallway

  • Patrolled

  Connective space. This is where the Cat's room-to-room patrol is most likely to cross you.

  • "He does do like a patrol of like every room"

• Secret Hallway

  Two unrelated channels stumbled into a hidden passage. What it is for has not been established.

  • "Wait, what's this? It's a secret hallway."
  • "why is there a secret alleyway right here?"

• Kitchen

  • Backpacks
  • Patrolled

  Named in footage alongside the cafeteria.

  • Named in walkthrough footage

• Office

  • Backpacks
  • Patrolled

  Named in footage as a room on the sweep.

  • Named in walkthrough footage

• Auditorium

  • Backpacks
  • Patrolled

  Named in footage. Like the gym, it is a large room with long sightlines.

  • Named in walkthrough footage

• Lockers

  • Cannot enter

  You cannot open or hide in the lockers. Guides that describe locker-hiding or a "locker chest" are describing something this game does not have.

  • "Look in the lockers. You can't open the lockers."

The five keys

On the School and Play Place maps an escape needs all five. They only ever appear inside backpacks — the lockers do not open, whatever other guides tell you.

• White Key
• Yellow Key
• Green Key
• Pink Key
• Red Key
