Scream and Run Map 1: School

  • Monster: Cat in the Hat

The School map has you playing as a trapped teacher searching for five colored keys hidden inside backpacks scattered around the building. There are roughly 30 backpacks hidden across the school so you need to check them systematically with your team to find all five before you can unlock the exit.

One important warning is that if a teammate carrying a key gets caught and dies, the key can disappear with them which may lock the game for the rest of the team. Coordinate carefully and make sure players are not carrying keys recklessly into dangerous areas.

The Cat in the Hat moves extremely fast, and the most dangerous thing you can do is make direct eye contact with him. If he spots you looking at him, he accelerates immediately, and catching you becomes almost unavoidable. Listen for his audio cues and laugh to know when he is close, then duck into an empty classroom and crouch to break his line of sight before he reaches you.

Key Tips:

  • Check every room and backpack systematically
  • Never look directly at the Cat in the Hat
  • Use crouch and slide to hide in tight spaces when chased
  • Keep your flashlight on in dark hallways

Scream and Run Map 2: Mines

  • Monster: Dark Thomas the Train

The Mines map takes place in dark winding, underground tunnels where you need to gather key items including coal and pickaxes, and find the exit triggers to unlock your escape. The environment is deliberately disorienting, so staying aware of your surroundings is critical.

Dark Thomas is aggressive and fast. He never stops moving and dead ends in the tunnels are essentially a death sentence if he corners you there. The moment you hear the loud music and approaching train sounds, switch from searching mode to escape mode immediately as those sounds mean he is heading directly toward you.

Keep rocks, corners, and tunnel walls between you and Thomas at all times to buy yourself a few extra seconds while your stamina recharges. Coordinating with teammates to split up and gather objective items faster is the best way to minimise the time you spend underground with him.

Key Tips:

  • Never linger in dead ends
  • Listen for the train sound as your main warning signal
  • Use corners and obstacles to break line of sight
  • Split up with teammates to gather items faster

Scream and Run Map 3: Play Place

  • Monster: Ronald McDonald

The Play Place map is a dark multi-level indoor playground maze where you need to find hidden items including keys and a screwdriver to pry open the final exit. The map is full of slides, tunnels, ball pits, and tight crawl spaces that can be both your salvation and your trap depending on how you use them.

Ronald McDonald becomes significantly more dangerous when the lights change or go dark and can move very fast during chase sequences. He also behaves unpredictably so never assume you are safe just because you cannot see him.

Use the crawl spaces and tight areas of the playground to your advantage since the monster has trouble following you through confined sections. Check inside play structures, vending areas, and party rooms for item spawns as these are the most common locations for keys and tools. Coordinate with your team to distract Ronald while others complete objectives.

Key Tips:

  • Use F to keep your flashlight on at all times
  • Check play structures, tunnels, and party rooms for items
  • Crouch through tight areas to break line of sight
  • Coordinate with teammates for distractions during key searches
