"So... this is ELO hell."
- Hardstuck' Achievement description

The 2025 April Fools Event, better known as RANKED MODE or called in it modifier PARTY MODE was a limited-time April Fools update that released on April 1, 2025, and ended on May 7, 2025. It is still playable through a modifier.

Overview

In this mode, players compete against each other to get points, which are used to rank up. Every player has a total of 300 HP. There are pads which you can step on to get additional speed, health, star shield or invincibility for a temporary amount of time.

Players get points for triggering certain events and the main goal of the mode is to outlast all the other players in the server. Doing so will reset everyone and show your placing at the overview.

The mode traverses through all current floors, incorporating each floor's rooms into a central run. This includes The Mines (and The Sewers), The Hotel, The Backdoor and rarely The Rooms, SUPER HARD MODE!!!, and RETRO MODE. It also can spawn previously removed rooms, and completely new ones such as a new layout with the style themed after The Basements. Also, multiple entities from different floors can spawn such as Rush, Ambush, Blitz, Screech, Eyes, Lookman, Dupe, Snare, Vacuum, Dread, Void, A-90, Giggle, and Hide. Players have the ability to jump and slide. Their movement speed is increased also. The time limit is 7 minutes until Sudden Death, where everyone's HP is set to 5, whereas MAX HP applies also.

In-Game description

Compete against other players in this new mode by using the elevators to the right! Rank up and become the world's greatest! Gain the limited time achievement by hitting STARTER rank.

Starter Points

Players can rank up with certain amounts of points per each:

Points do not save upon rank up, meaning to get from Starter to Combatant, 20,000 points must be accumulated, rather than 10,000 if points saved through ranks.

Please note that the Ranked points feature was removed after the event ended.

Match tax

Match tax is deducted from the player's total point count at the end of the game. It acts as the main ranking system, preventing players from infinitely farming points. If the player earns less points than the match tax then they will lose points, though they cannot lose rank.

This formula is used to calculate the game tax, with a being the number of players in the game and b being the player's rank (Noob = 1; Starter = 2; Combatant = 3; Soldier = 4; Warrior = 5; Bloxxer = 6):

File:NewFormula.png

Match Tax	2 Player	3 Player	4 Player	5 Player	6 Player	7 Player	8 Player
Noob	-525	-650	-775	-900	-1,025	-1,150	-1,275

Differences from a classic run Differences from a classic run

• Many entities are much more difficult, such as Rush being faster, Screech being quieter, Eyes being able to ricochet off of walls, Giggles being able to spawn in any room, and Dread spawning in much quicker due to the fast paced nature of the mode. They also spawn in much sooner.
• Containers are disabled except when they contain a Key. Many animations are sped up such as opening doors or interacting with hiding spots.
• All possible node entities are Rush, Blitz and Ambush.
• Elements from other floors can take place on any doors. For example, Dupe and Hide can appear in Backdoor themed rooms, and Dread can appear in The Rooms and Backdoor themed doors.
• Keys and their equivalents will immediately be highlighted by Guiding Light. In dark rooms, Guiding Light will highlight doors instantly too. Additionally, doors with Dupe behind them are highlighted with a softer glow than the real door that is needed to progress. This is a feature that was removed from the main game, but has been added back for this event.
• The player can now jump, and attempting to crouch with enough speed will result in the player sliding, which can be used to gain momentum when sliding down a slope.
• A trimmed version of Jeff's Jingle - DNB Remix will always play after the mode starts. However, it can be disabled in the Game Settings menu.
• New and exclusive items will now spawn anywhere in the room, and will appear floating instead of lying on the ground (as do any items dropped in this mode.) They also have a blue glow. Items that normally spawn in any room can still spawn on top of tables (for example, Flashlights, Lockpicks). Additionally, the Skeleton Key has infinite^{[verification needed]} uses.
• There are no bosses or major door milestones, as the goal is to outlast your opponent(s) and gain as many points as possible.
• A menu appears on the top of the screen, showing a render of each player's avatar and their point amount. A skull will appear and a red filter will be applied to their player render upon their death.
• Every player is now outlined. The outlined is filled red when the player takes damage.
• The player's base speed is greatly increased, and they have 300 max health points.
• Doors can only be locked, generators do not spawn. Only doors themed as The Hotel, The Backdoor, Retro Mode, and SUPER HARD MODE!!! can be locked.
  • The interaction with locked doors is instant and not held.
  • SUPER HARD MODE!!! only has one unique room (the flipped reception) and it will always be locked.
    • However, the room key is randomized and the Evil Key is not present.
• Elevator Jam is not playing in the starter Elevator.
• Pre-Run Shop does not exist. Jeff Shop also doesn't spawn.
• Being teleported by Void or Glitch will give the player temporal God Mode to avoid unfair teleports into instant damage.
• Sally and Louie can't spawn.
• Halt will not spawn in The Dining Hall or in The Bridges, but the rooms can spawn by themselves.

Items

Below are items that are exclusive to RANKED MODE. These cannot be stored in Rifts, as The Rift is not present in this mode. <tabber> |-|Golden Blaster=

</image> <group layout="vertical" show="completed"> <header>INFORMATION</header> <label>Status</label> <label>Type</label> <label>Fuel Time</label> <label>Maximum Stack</label> <label>Shop Description</label> <label>Shop Price</label> <label>Usage</label> <label>Damage</label> <label>Size</label> </group> <group layout="vertical" show="completed" collapse="closed"> <header>SOUND FILES</header> </group> </infobox> The Golden Blaster is an item added during the 2025 April Fools Event and acts as a gun, likely renamed to keep the games' age rating within the 9+ range.

Usage

Once the Golden Blaster is used, it will damage the player it is pointed at.

Trivia

• When the player interacts with a Golden Blaster while holding one, it refills one ammo slot.
• Unconfirmed, but this weapon may be a reference to the Gold Blaster from Resident Evil 7's Jack's 55th Birthday DLC.
• Much like how throwing a glowstick at a Giggle temporarily stuns them, shooting a Giggle with the Golden Blaster stuns them aswell.
• The weapon is a golden Desert Eagle.
• The model for the Golden Blaster is from RAGDOLL UNIVERSE, the Heavy Pistol weapon, colored gray. This also applies to ammo capacity, which is 7 for both.
  • There is a more similar item to the Golden Blaster, which is the Toy Pistol from RAGDOLL UNIVERSE.

Strategy

It is recommended to save it and look for another gun to get more ammo. After that, the player should shoot a person with low health to eliminate them. Pairing A-90 Stop Sign, Knockbomb or a giggle with the blaster is useful as it makes the target easier to hit.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Able to damage anyone.
• Can pierce through players, meaning that the player can hit multiple other players with a single shot, which allows the player who shot the Golden Blaster get more than 100 points if aim correctly.

Cons

• Might be hard to aim.
• It is normally found with only 1 out of 7 usages.

</image> <group layout="vertical" show="completed"> <header>INFORMATION</header> <label>Status</label> <label>Type</label> <label>Fuel Time</label> <label>Maximum Stack</label> <label>Shop Description</label> <label>Shop Price</label> <label>Usage</label> <label>Damage</label> <label>Size</label> </group> <group layout="vertical" show="completed" collapse="closed"> <header>SOUND FILES</header> </group> </infobox> The Bomb is an item added during the 2025 April Fools Event. It acts as a throwable object.

Usage

Once the Bomb is thrown, it will fuse for roughly 3 seconds before blowing up, damaging and knocking back nearby players (including the thrower). While it still hasn't blown up yet, it emits light and a sound effect, which intensify the closer the Bomb is to detonation.

Trivia

• This might be a reference to the Holy Hand Grenade item from April Fools 2023.
• The audio when thrown is the same audio used for the Grenade in Ragdoll Universe, another game developed by LSPLASH, although slightly different.
• The design of the bomb may be a reference to the design of the bomb from the video game "The binding of Isaac"

Strategy

It is recommended to use it when there is a group of people catching up. Throw it slightly ahead so the Bomb will detonate the moment other players get near it. Otherwise, throw directly at a player while behind them have a group of players to gain free 50 "Direct Hit" points and increase the chance of the Bomb exploding into more players, thus gaining more points.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Damages players that its directly thrown at (like throwable props)
• Able to damage a group of people.
• It's useful for stunning and damaging other players.
• Direct hit can hit multiple people at once.

Cons

• The thrower can also be affected by the Bomb If they are too close to it.
• Targeted players can easily avoid the Bomb if they're focusing on running forward.

It acts as a better counterpart of the Bomb.

Usage

It functions in the same way as the Bomb, though it deals more damage, have larger radius but takes longer to explode comparing to the Normal version.

Trivia

• The audio when thrown is the same audio used for the Grenade in Ragdoll Universe, another game developed by LSPLASH, although slightly different.

Strategy

Similar to the Bomb, use it when there is a group of people catching up to the player, the player can throw it at them, though the player will have to use it wisely and carefully as its larger radius hitbox can hit the player and the time for it to explode can make players easily avoid it if they are focused on running forward.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Damages players that its directly thrown at (like throwable props)
• Able to greatly damage a group of people.
• Is useful for stunning and damaging other players.
• Direct hit can hit multiple players at once.

Cons

• The thrower can also be affected by the Big Bomb.
• Targeted players can easily avoid the Big Bomb if they're focusing on running forward.

It acts as another counterpart to the Bomb

Usage

Once the Knockbomb is thrown, it will immediately detonate upon contact with a surface, greatly knocking back nearby players. This item's explosion does not deal damage, however if it is thrown directly at someone, it will deal 10 damage. The bomb may stun the thrower if in range, albeit for half the usual stun time.

Trivia

• The Knockbomb is probably inspired by the Knockbomb in Ragdoll Universe, another game developed by LSPLASH.

Strategy

It is recommended to use it when there are other players ahead to catch up to them if you're too slow or when there is a group of players behind you to gain more additional points. Can also be recommended to use during any raycasting entitiy attacks to prevent players from entering a hiding spot, increasing the chances for a assist bonus.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Damages players that its directly thrown at (like throwable props)
• Able to stun a group of people.
• Detonates immediately upon contact with any surfaces.
• Direct hit can hit multiple players at once.

Cons

• The thrower can also be affected by the Knockbomb if the Knockbomb is thrown near the thrower.

|-|Nanner/Nanner Peel=

</image> <group layout="vertical" show="completed"> <header>INFORMATION</header> <label>Status</label> <label>Type</label> <label>Fuel Time</label> <label>Maximum Stack</label> <label>Shop Description</label> <label>Shop Price</label> <label>Usage</label> <label>Damage</label> <label>Size</label> </group> <group layout="vertical" show="completed" collapse="closed"> <header>SOUND FILES</header> </group> </infobox> The Nanner and Nanner Peel are items added during the 2025 April Fools Event. The Nanner takes the appearance of a banana and can be eaten, while the Nanner Peel can be thrown on the ground.

Usage

Once the Nanner is used, it heals the user for a slight amount, specifically for 45 HP and the Nanner turns into the Nanner Peel which can be thrown on the ground, slipping anyone who runs over it.

Trivia

• This might be a reference to the Banana Peel from April Fools 2023, though its mechanic is completely the same with the Banana Peel other than the 45 HP healing.
• The Nanner and the Nanner Peel’s name came from a phrase from RediblesQW, saying if a person was slipping on a banana peel multiple times, they were “Nanner locked”.

Strategy

It is recommended to throw the Nanner Peel in a tight hallway or in the doorway to the next room or throw directly at a player to gain more points.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Damages players that its directly thrown at (like throwable props)
• Can stun other players.
• Direct hit can hit multiple players at once.

Cons

• It's easily avoidable in large rooms.
• Does not damage the players that got affected.

|-|Hiding Box=

</image> <group layout="vertical" show="completed"> <header>INFORMATION</header> <label>Status</label> <label>Type</label> <label>Fuel Time</label> <label>Maximum Stack</label> <label>Shop Description</label> <label>Shop Price</label> <label>Usage</label> <label>Damage</label> <label>Size</label> </group> <group layout="vertical" show="completed" collapse="closed"> <header>SOUND FILES</header> </group> </infobox> The Hiding Box is an item added during the 2025 April Fools Event. It takes the appearance of a cardboard box and acts as a portable one-time-use hiding spot.

Usage

When the Hiding Box is used, the player will duck under the box. Similar to when hiding in a normal hiding spot, Rush-like entities, as well as other players' items, cannot damage the player. The item is discarded when the player pops out of the hiding box.

Trivia

• The Hiding Box can block raycasting just by being held, being able to survive without actually using it.
• Despite it's name being Hiding Box, in the game files, it's named SnakeBox.
  • The filename, and item in itself, could possibly be a reference to Metal Gear Solid, where the main character often hides in a cardboard box.

Strategy

It is recommended to save it and use it when there are no available hiding spots nearby or when the player is too far from a hiding spot while trying to avoid Rush, Ambush or Blitz.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Can be used to quickly evade a Rush-type entity.
• Hide can't get to the player so they can hide as long as needed.
• Can be used to block damage from sources like Bombs.

Cons

• Can only be used once before being discarded.

</image> <group layout="vertical" show="completed"> <header>INFORMATION</header> <label>Status</label> <label>Type</label> <label>Fuel Time</label> <label>Maximum Stack</label> <label>Shop Description</label> <label>Shop Price</label> <label>Usage</label> <label>Damage</label> <label>Size</label> </group> <group layout="vertical" show="completed" collapse="closed"> <header>SOUND FILES</header> </group> </infobox> The Throwable Prop is an item added during the 2025 April Fools Event. It acts as a throwable object.

Usage

Some furniture can be picked up. Furniture that can be picked up is highlighted by an outline. When picked up, other items cannot be used and the holder is slowed down. When thrown directly at another player, stuns and damages them.

Trivia

• Picking up a furniture while already holding another one will replace the previous one (making it disappear) with the new one.
• You can throw a prop through a wall when you are holding a prop, and make your hands and the prop "clip".

Strategy

It is recommended to use it in a tight hallway. When other players are searching for the key in a locked room, you can also use it to annoy other players, thus gaining some free points.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• It's common.
• It's great at slowing down other players.
• Prop hits can hit multiple players at once.

Cons

• Slows down the holder.
• Other items cannot be used with the Throwable Prop held.

|-|A-90's Stop Sign=

</image> <group layout="vertical" show="completed"> <header>INFORMATION</header> <label>Status</label> <label>Type</label> <label>Fuel Time</label> <label>Maximum Stack</label> <label>Shop Description</label> <label>Shop Price</label> <label>Usage</label> <label>Damage</label> <label>Size</label> </group> <group layout="vertical" show="completed" collapse="closed"> <header>SOUND FILES</header> </group> </infobox> The A-90 Stop Sign is an item added during the 2025 April Fools Event. It takes the appearance of a stop sign with A-90's hand on it.

Usage

When this item is used, the player will damage any other player hit by the stop sign. A-90 will spawn for every player, regardless if the player hit someone or not. The player that was hit will be almost guaranteed a successful attack from A-90.

Trivia

• This item can give points, even if it wasn't succesfully used.

Strategy

It is recommended to use it when other players aren't moving to maximize the chance of landing a hit, or use a bomb/knockbomb to force them to move during A-90's attack. Using it while pointing towards the person will also knock them down, increasing the chance of getting them with A-90 since they are ragdolled which count as moving around. Using it while during raycasting entity attacks when it is close to player(s) can increase the chances of them getting hit by A-90.

Pros and Cons Pros and Cons

Pros

• Can target multiple people at once.
• Forces other players to stop or get damaged, leave them vulnerable to any rush-type entities if one of them is active.
• Can knock down people when the player hits them with the item, increasing the chance of getting attacked by A-90.

Cons

• May be hard to target, especially if the targets are moving.
• It's easily avoidable by experienced players.

<infobox layout="stacked"> <title source="title"><default>2025 April Fools Event</default><format>A-90's Stop Sign</format></title> <image source="image">

</tabber> Additionally, the following non-April Fools Items can spawn:

• These items can spawn like an April Fools item, floating in the air with a blue outline and glow.
  • Moonlight Candle, Moonlight Float, Smoothie, Starlight Bottle, Starlight Vial, Spotlight, Vitamins, Skeleton Key, Gween Soda, Cheese, Bread and the Crucifix.
• Additionally, these items can spawn normally on top of tables or in other regular spawn locations.
  • Flashlight, Lighter, Vitamins, Lockpick, and Crucifix (wall-mounted).
    • However, if a player drops these items, then it will stay there like an April Fools item, floating in the air with a blue outline.
• Bandages and Batteries can rarely also spawn.

Stat Pads

This mode added a new mechanic, Stat Pads, which will give a certain Status Effect when they are stepped on.

Image	Boost	Duration/Power	Notes
File:PowerupPad SpeedBoost.png	Speed Boost	+3 Walkspeed	Gives 5 points. Gives 5 extra points if a very high walkspeed is reached due to it. Speed Boost lasts 11 seconds in total. Extra speed starts decaying slowly after 5 seconds.
File:PowerupPad Health.png	Heal	+10 Health	If the player's health is full, they will get 10 points for Health Overflow. Heals 10 HP when stepped on.
File:PowerupPad StarShield.png	Star Shield	+25 Star Shield	Maximum of 100 Star Shield, even in Sudden Death. If the player's Star Shield is full, they will get 25 points for Star Shield Overflow. Applies 25 Star Shield when stepped on.
File:PowerupPad Invincible.png	God Mode	5 seconds	Temporarily gives the player immunity to all attacks. Rewards the player points for blocking attacks (During God Mode). Gives same amount of points as damage blocked.

Bugs

• Void normally fails to attack players in its normal behavior. It also doesn't teleport players correctly when successfully attacking.
  • If another door is opened fast enough before the room despawns, Void will successfully attack.
• If a player picks up a throwable prop while already holding one, it will show up in their inventory.
  • This also occurs when the player holds a throwable prop for a long period of time.
• Hide's physical appearance will not display in hiding spots that aren't in The Mines.
  • This bug also occurs in the main game outside of PARTY/RANKED MODE.
• Props can be grabbed through walls, being possible to grab and use them before the match starts in the elevator.
• Hiding with a Hiding Box and sliding at a short window frame will cause the player to hide in the box whilst sliding. Stat Pads can spawn in places where players cannot access.
• Props can bypass the inventory limit. Picking up other item while holding a prop will replace that slot with the item, being able to have more items than the intended limit. This can be repeated multiple times.
• Dupe will only be able to spawn with its Hotel aspect, except in The Sewers rooms, where it will always appear correctly with its Sewers aspect.
  • This makes it very easy to identify the correct door in The Mines and The Backdoor rooms.
• When the game checks for overlapping when loading, the starting elevator is ignored and not considered. Because of this, softlocks in the first room or the elevator itself are possible.
  • There is also a possibility to be pushed out of the map when this happens, being teleported by Glitch out of the elevator.
• The secret void room in The (inverted) Reception, and the window next to it, exactly like in the previous case, are not considered when checking for overlapping, being able to cause issues (although rarely).
• If you were very fast, sometimes, the game will think that you are out of bounds, and Void will attack you 2 times. If you held a Crucifix, you could crucify Void 2 times with a single Crucifix.
• Due to how the doors are made different for every floor and sub-floor, a non-collidable black part of the door (that disappears when is opened) can sometimes be visible. This commonly occurs in sub-rooms next to the next door, but fixes when opening it.
• If a player takes too long to load in, the countdown won't be visible to them, and afterwards they will not be able to see the player list at the top of the screen, and they will not hear the gamemode's music.
• Sometimes, a bug occurs which allows the player to stand inside a vacuum room without dealing any damage.
• Rooms stop generating after Room 250, although this is likely somewhat intentional, since the game is no longer capable of generating infinite rooms due to pre-generating the rooms at the beginning of a run.
• If a key is required in a Retro Mode or a Backdoor room, it will be a Hotel Key instead of the Retro Mode or Backdoor one. This is likely an oversight by the developers.
• If, in a multiplayer run, every player except one dies or disconnects before opening the first door, the game will try to end the round, as there is only 1 player left, the technical winner. However, as the first door isn't opened, the player will instantly respawn, being able to play until dying again. Points will also count and add up to the player's rank.
  • Doing this, there will be no timer, and therefore, no Sudden Death, being at 300 max health points forever.
  • However, this will normally bug the player's audio, being basically unable to hear most important sound cues correctly. The sound's directionality will act as if the player was in the place where they first died (in Room 0) forever.
• Holding the Hiding Box or Throwable Props blocks ray-casting from node entities.
• Using a crucifix on Dread will bring up the old crucifix animation
• Getting flung can sometimes clip players out of the map, triggering Glitch to teleport you. Since Glitch provides you with invincibility when teleporting you in PARTY/RANKED MODE, you can attempt to strategically utilize this.
• Using the Skeleton Key once will make it unable to be dropped and will be invisible when in the player's hand.
  • This is likely because the Skeleton Key's new mechanic where it has infinite uses was still being tested in the version PARTY/RANKED MODE happens.

Trivia

• The teaser prior PARTY MODE's release was known as ROLEPLAY MODE. Using a blurred image of a thumbnail used for Growth of Giggle RP.
  • This experience is a DOORS roleplay game, fitting with the theming of the teaser.
  • The teaser also seems to include part of an image of the Lobby's exterior on the left, which became RANKED MODE.
• Rather than being set in one floor, the appearance of the room will change frequently.
  • The pool of possible designs is The Hotel, The Backdoor, The Mines, The Sewers, rarely The Rooms, SUPER HARD MODE!!!, RETRO MODE and previously removed rooms (such as the Old Room 99).
    • Locked and non-locked sub-rooms (including Dupe) with an aspect from a different floor of the current room can spawn in it.
• Screen shakes are smoother.
  • The UI also moves according to the player movement.
• There is a timer until sudden death.
  • Sudden death turns players' max health to 5 HP.
    • Star shield isn't affected by sudden death.
• Dread and running out of oxygen (by Firedamp) are the only instant-kills in this gamemode.
• Assisting with Dread or Firedamp (suffocation) before the April 8, 2025 patch would give 999 and 1000 points respectively. The patch capped the limit of assists to 100 points.
  • It is still possible to get 999 points from Dread via blocked damage. The easiest way to do this is after the last player dies, before the results are displayed.
    • It is not possible to block Firedamp's suffocation damage, however, due to how oxygen works during God Mode.
• Guiding Light death messages are disabled.
• Prior to the update, and in the trailer, the door numbers were removed.
• The overview screen is redesigned.
• Various status effects and April Fools items are scattered on the floor.
• If you are alone in a Ranked game, Practice Mode will be activated where no points will be given. This is revealed in the ending overview.
• Backdoor doors have their timer display on them, however they use a placeholder reading "##:##", due to Haste being absent.
  • This can be useful to distinguish Dupe, since its fake doors won't have said timer due to a bug where they can only appear as Hotel or Sewer doors.
• Despite the fact that all entities are faster in this mode, Ambush is much slower and bounces off the door immediately (as it did before The Mines Update).
• If players are on sudden death but also having full starlight shield health, can still survive Rush, Ambush and Blitz attacks.
• If a Crucifix is used on an entity, the crucifix will turn into the one from the HOTEL+ trailer.
• It is possible that many features from this gamemode will be added to the base game, such as the previously mentioned new Crucifix animation, Screech and A-90 being visible when they are attacking other players, and Ambush bouncing off the door immediately.
• You can stun Giggle by throwing props at it, throwing any item at it (e.g.: knockbomb, bomb, etc.), and shooting it with the Golden Blaster.
• You can find <NIL> Rank in game files which requires 1 Quintillion XP, but it's just a placeholder for ranks. The Image ID used for <NIL> Rank is 18359551282.
  • The quickest time to get the <NIL> would take approximately 20 billion years, meaning it can be called the rarest Achievement in the game, due to it taking so long to get that nobody owns it.
• Trying to turn on a Lighter inside a Firedamp room will deal 50 damage to the player instead of instantly killing them, moreover, it will also damage any players that are inside the explosion's radius; the Lighter can only be detonated once in this situation.
• The Bloxxer Rank is a reference to a Badge on Roblox with the same name and the icon is same as the original badge icon.
• In the first two days of the release in this mode, you could find an extended version of the basements with side-rooms. However, basements were completely removed from this mode due to problems with room generation.
• The first node entity is guaranteed to spawn in Door 6.
• Sub-rooms used to be able to spawn in the rare basement room, however, due to glitches and problems this was removed. As of now, basements in general cannot spawn.
• Glitch may, in some rare occasions, spawn multiple times in quick succession, causing one of rare colored versions of glitch to spawn. This mainly happens with lag and void kicking players out of rooms if they are too far behind.
• A round of Ranked mode was played during Roblox's million dollar competition The Hunt: Mega Final live stream (from 2:50:46 to 3:24:59), between the contestants: robey100, pokedragon100000, MxdMax, 3ja_e, H_AnonymousLime, Icyycl and TheDeathEagIe (with a capital I instead of a L). The winner of the round was robey100, which allowed them to move to the semi-finals, which were on Driving Empire and Rivals.
• The rank badges’ names are references to Gamer Badges that are Roblox-exclusive only.
• The point method of gaining “I Am Speed” refers to a meme quote that is said by the Cars character Lightning McQueen. Screencaps of the scene involving the quote are often used as part of jokes in other formats.

Hazards

There are a few hazards that can spawn in this modifier.

Hazard	New Mechanics

Firedamp	Can spawn in any room Turning on a Lighter inside deals 50 damage instead of instantly killing (except for suffocation) Lighter explosion also damages nearby players
Minecart	Moves faster when pushed Gives points when hitting another player with it
