When you start the game, you’ll be randomly assigned a role – either a Trap or a Rat.

Traps: Your goal is to prevent Rats from stealing your bait. Place traps strategically to block or capture Rats. You can use various types of traps, including landmines, bear traps, and mouse traps. Each trap has a timer before it goes off. If the rat manages to escape the trap’s detonation, then they can simply walk up and steal your cheese.
If your cheese is not stolen, then it will automatically upgrade. For example, the regular cheese will upgrade to Drippy Cheese, then Moldy Cheese, then Rat Cheese, and so on. The more it upgrades, the more coins you will collect. You can use these coins to make further enhancements to your defence.
Rats: Your objective is to infiltrate the Traps’ defenses, steal the bait, and sell it for currency. To effectively steal, you have to time your theft. For instance, if you lurk too long on the trap, you will activate the trap, and it will kill you. However, if you move just before the trap sets off, you’ll have enough time to grab the cheese, as the trap would require some time to reset.

Gameplay Tips

For Traps

Place Traps Wisely: Position traps in chokepoints or areas where Rats are likely to pass. Experiment with different trap types to find effective combinations.
Upgrade Traps: Use earned currency to buy stronger traps or abilities that improve your defense, such as faster trap placement or more durable obstacles.
Coordinate with Teammates: Work with other Traps to cover multiple entry points and create layered defenses.

For Rats

Scout the Area: Observe the placement of traps before rushing in. Look for gaps or less-defended routes.
Use Abilities: Spend currency on abilities like speed boosts or trap-disabling tools to make stealing easier.
Be Quick: Move fast to avoid getting caught, and prioritize selling stolen bait quickly to secure your earnings.
