Quick start

How to play Act Dead or OOF

Act Dead or OOF is a 1 vs All survival game on Roblox where one player becomes the Hunter and everyone else must pretend to be a mannequin. The round ends when the Hunter eliminates all survivors — or the survivors outlast the timer. Here is everything you need to know before your first round.

Round structure

1

Spawn & freeze

Players spawn scattered across the map. Survivors have a few seconds to pick a mannequin pose before the Hunter is released. Choose a pose and stay absolutely still.

2

Hunt phase

The Hunter walks the map looking for anyone who moves, blinks, or is positioned unnaturally. Survivors can reposition, but every movement is a risk.

3

Vote & elimination

When the Hunter suspects a player, they call a vote. If the majority agrees, the player is eliminated. Surviving players split the round reward.

Survivor rules & tips

As a survivor your only objective is to avoid detection. The game rewards stillness over speed. Here are the core rules to play by:

  • Freeze immediately. The moment you spawn, pick a pose and commit to it. Do not adjust, do not look around — even a small twitch can give you away.
  • Blend with your surroundings. Stand at the same angle as nearby props and decorations. A mannequin that is slightly rotated away from the group is the first thing a good Hunter checks.
  • Only move in safe windows. Reposition while the Hunter is voting or when you are certain they are looking the other way. Never sprint — walking is loud enough already.
  • Stay quiet. The game has proximity audio. Coughing or typing in chat can be heard by the Hunter. Hold still and hold quiet.
  • Never follow a teammate. If another survivor starts running, do not join them. Two runners attract twice the attention. Let them be the distraction while you stay hidden.

Hunter rules & tips

Hunting in Act Dead or OOF

The Hunter wins by eliminating every survivor before the timer ends. Your movement speed is slightly higher than a survivor's walk, but you cannot cover the whole map at once.

  • Walk, do not sprint. Sprinting makes noise and signals your position. A slow, deliberate pace catches more survivors off guard.
  • Check clusters. Survivors tend to hide near real props. If a group of mannequins looks slightly off, investigate.
  • Double back. Many survivors move the moment they think you have left the room. Walk past a cluster, pause, then turn around — the fidgeter will expose themselves.
  • Trust your vote. Even if you are not certain, calling a vote on your best suspect puts pressure on the group. A nervous survivor often breaks character under scrutiny.

Yen & progression

Yen is the in-game currency earned for surviving rounds and eliminating players as the Hunter. Use Yen to unlock cosmetics, emotes, and other progression items in the in-game shop.

New players earn bonus Yen during their first few rounds. The x2 Yen gamepass (R$ 99) doubles all future earnings, while the Permanent gamepass (R$ 499) unlocks premium features permanently. Neither is required to access the core game.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you move in Act Dead or OOF?

Yes — survivors can walk, crouch, and reposition, but moving while the Hunter is nearby is extremely risky. Walking triggers your character to blink and fidget, which gives you away. Most good players only move during the countdown or when the Hunter is on the opposite side of the map.

How long does a round last?

A standard round lasts roughly 3–5 minutes depending on the number of survivors and how quickly the Hunter finds them. If nobody gets caught, the round ends when the timer expires and all survivors win. The Hunter gets a shorter cooldown to queue into the next round.

What happens if I spawn next to another mannequin?

You can spawn next to other survivors. The rule is the same — stay still. If a neighbour gets caught and eliminated, do not react. The Hunter sometimes waits nearby to catch anyone who flinches.

Is Act Dead or OOF free to play?

Yes, the game is free to play on Roblox. There are four optional gamepasses — Scythe (R$ 139), x2 Vote (R$ 67), x2 Yen (R$ 99), and Permanent (R$ 499) — but none are required to enjoy the core gameplay loop.
