How to Play Piggy
Each round drops you into a map you need to escape. Here is the basic flow:
1. Join a map. Pick a chapter from the story or a game mode, then spawn in as a survivor.
2. Search for items. Look through the rooms for keys, tools, and other items you need to open the way out.
3. Solve the puzzles. Use each item in the right spot to unlock doors and reach the exit.
4. Avoid the hunter. An infected character chases you. Keep doors shut behind you and stay out of dead ends. Our Piggy characters guide covers every hunter and how to escape it.
5. Escape and win. Get out before you are caught, or outlast the round in the modes where you survive against the clock.
Gameplay and Modes
Piggy has lots of ways to play. The Story mode walks you through the chapters of Book 1 and Book 2, where the infection slowly spreads and the mystery unfolds. There is also Player mode, where one person plays as the Piggy and everyone else tries to escape, plus Bot mode if you want to practice on your own.
The story is the heart of the game. A scary infection turns characters violent, and a small group of heroes tries to survive and stop it. The big twist is that many of those heroes get infected and become the bosses chasing you, which you can read about in our Piggy characters guide.
As you play you earn tokens you can spend on skins, so you can dress up as your favourite character. Playing with friends makes the maps a lot easier and a lot less scary, since you can split up to find items faster.
Tips for New Players
- Shut doors behind you. A closed door slows the hunter down and gives you time to think.
- Learn who chases you on each map. Our characters guide lists every hunter and the trick to escaping it.
- Grab keys and items as soon as you see them, so you are ready to open the exit.
- Save your tokens for skins you really want, and grab free ones from our Piggy codes page.
- Play with friends if you can. Co-op is easier and more fun, and only chat with people you actually know.
