Tips from the footage
- When a word says the floor is lava, get off the ground and climb: the game's own text says "climb anything".
- When a pyramid rises, the game says to race to the top, so go for height rather than hiding.
- Set up your loadout before the match: the Items screen says your best 5 go with you.
- Press WRITE as soon as the roulette picks you; any word counts, according to the on-screen message.
- Watch the person-icon counter beside the clock to see how many players are left.
