Game Introduction

House of Hazards turns regular tasks into a local multiplayer trap. One player may have just the task of walking out of a room, making coffee, or completing any other household chore, but the second player can set the same path as a trap using falling objects or perfectly timed distractions. The soft physics makes failures amusing instead of annoying, and switching roles ensures that no one is left behind. This game becomes particularly fun when playing with friends since everyone will soon be aware of their opponents' tendencies. What is an easy path in one level can become an obvious choice for the trap in the next level.

How to Play House of Hazards

When you plan to control the character, observe the room before you move towards the chore. Move in quick bursts, jump over the obstacle, and stop if you know that there is a trap and it has a time cycle. Do the task and get out of there before any other trap catches you on the way back. If you change your role to that of hazard controller, do not activate the trap you find first. Wait until the other player decides to go through the door, appliance, or tight place where players will find it difficult to run away from the trap. In local competitions, timing becomes more important than finding the safe path through trial and error. Most comical wins occur due to setting up a trap that catches you at the worst possible time.
