Map tactics: turn unfamiliar rooms into a route
A first-round scouting worksheet for official and Workshop maps, including random elements and map-pool changes.
Evidence boundary
What is verified
Official update 2.7.0 confirms per-map random-pool toggles and random elements on Penguin Hotel. The scouting worksheet is editorial guidance.
Use the first lap as reconnaissance
Do not try to memorize every prop immediately. Build a small, reusable description of the map.
- Name three to five major zones using short labels your group will understand.
- Identify the two connectors that create the most backtracking.
- Note which rooms are visually dense, open, high-contrast, or easy to bypass.
Separate stable geometry from random elements
Patch notes confirm that some official maps can change elements between rounds. Memorize routes and sightlines before relying on a fixed prop layout.
- Remember entrances, stairs, corridors, and room boundaries as the stable layer.
- Treat individual prop positions as a round-specific observation until confirmed otherwise.
- On repeat rounds, compare only the zones where changed scenery affects a hiding or search route.
Verify Workshop maps before relying on a guide
Workshop content can change independently of the base game. A map title alone is not enough to guarantee the same layout.
- Confirm the Workshop item and update date used by the host.
- Check whether every player has the same downloaded version before diagnosing route differences.
- Record creator and source URL with any community route notes you publish or share.
