Learn how to survive in Lori’s Nightmare! Our beginner’s guide covers essential strategies for this Roblox horror experience.

Lori’s Nightmare is a classic Dead by Daylight-style survivor horror experience on Roblox. The players on each server get sort into two teams Children and Nightmare. The Children have to survive and fix four TVs before the timer runs out to escape The Nightmare while the latter hunts and kills them. Once someone from the Children’s team gets killed, they can be revived, or they respawn after a few moments.
The game can become quite high-octane, as each character gets a special ability. You can also collect coins scattered around the map. You can buy new characters with the coins.
This article will be a beginner’s guide to Lori’s Nightmare and explain the core gameplay loop of the Roblox survivor game.
