First, launch Roblox. To access the game, open Gumball. Once inside, join a queue for the cars.

Gumball is a horror game best played with a group of random players or with friends. The objective is to collect the required items, survive, and escape the map while being chased by the monster, Gumball. For example, you can grab the key while your friend or teammate distracts the monster, but when you’re playing solo, you can’t do that.

You can buy different types of weapons that are spread throughout the map.

  • Monster Chase: Gumball roams the map, hunting players, so you’ll need to use hiding spots and loops to stay alive.
  • Item Hunting: Keys, weapons, and flashlights are scattered around the map, so collecting and using them is the only means of escape.
  • Escape Objective: Find the required items and unlock the path that will lead to the last chase. Survive that, and escape through the exit.

Tips For Beginners

  • Learn the map so you know which items you need to escape.
  • Don’t sprint everywhere. Save your stamina for chases.
  • If you’re being chased, loop around the hallways instead of running straight.
  • Use flashlights wisely; batteries run out fast.
