🥩 Death #1: Ignoring the Meat Trompo

When This Happens
Night 2+ - When the meat skewer (trompo) starts moving abnormally
The Warning Signs
- The spinning meat starts "breathing heavily"
- Unusual spinning movement or sounds
- Some players call it the "Dancing Chicken" event
What Happens If You Ignore It
"If you don't go outside when the meat skewer starts breathing heavily and spinning, then after some time the door will slam shut and the spirit will attack you."
Death Sequence:
- You continue working, ignoring the meat
- The back door suddenly SLAMS shut
- You're now trapped inside
- A spirit entity materializes and attacks
- Jumpscare → Death
How to Survive
✅ Notice the meat moving weirdly
✅ Immediately exit through the back door
✅ Wait outside until things calm down
✅ Return inside only when safe
Community Note: This happens on Night 2 (Shift 2), and the meat event is sometimes bugged where the ghost doesn't come first but the Trash Bag Man does instead.
👁️ Death #2: Opening Eyes Too Early

When This Happens
Night 3 - During the ghost/hiding event when lights flicker
The Warning Signs
- Lights flicker in a distinctive rapid pattern
- A "Hide" button appears on screen (mobile users)
- The atmosphere becomes extremely tense
What Happens If You Open Eyes Early
"On the third day when the lights go out, you must hide under the table and close your eyes. But if you open your eyes too early, you will see the monster and you'll die."
Death Sequence:
- You hide under the table (correct!)
- You hold space bar to close eyes (correct!)
- You release too early, thinking it's safe
- The monster is still there... staring at you
- Instant death jumpscare
How to Survive
✅ Run to the middle table immediately
✅ Get under the table (crouch/interact)
✅ Hold SPACE BAR to close your eyes
✅ DO NOT RELEASE until absolutely certain
✅ Count to 10 after you think it's safe
✅ Wait for the distinctive "lights back on" sound
Community Tips:
- "Close your eyes for a bit longer, not too long tho, then open"
- "Until you hear a sound of the lights on"
- "On the main gamemode, it has to be Night 3 to be able to duck under the table"
Mobile Players
On mobile, there's a "Hide" button that appears. Hold this button to keep your eyes closed instead of space bar.
📞 Death #3: Not Calling About Trash Bag Man

When This Happens
Night 2+ - When a customer with a trash bag arrives
The Warning Signs
- Customer carrying a visible trash/garbage bag
- They look suspicious or out of place
- The Phone Guy warned you about them earlier
What Happens If You Don't Call
"When the man with the bag arrives, you're supposed to call the ghost of the woman. If you don't do that, the spirit will get angry and after the phone call, you'll get eaten."
Death Sequence:
- Trash Bag Man arrives at the window
- You ignore the phone and try to serve him
- The spirit becomes enraged
- Even if you eventually call, it's too late
- You get "eaten" - death jumpscare
How to Survive
✅ Recognize the trash bag immediately
✅ STOP whatever you're doing
✅ Run to the phone
✅ Dial the correct number (from poster: 4-023)
✅ Complete the call before serving
The Phone Number Mystery
Community debates:
- "What's the number for the ghost woman?" - Common question
- "4-023" - The number many players confirm works
- "She gives u the number anyway but it's 4-023"
Important Bug: Some players report the poster doesn't appear or they can't find the number. If this happens, try memorizing 4-023 or restart the run.
Phone Number: 4-023
This is the number to call when Trash Bag Man appears. Memorize it!
💧 Death #4: Looking Up at the Ceiling

When This Happens
Night 3 - When black liquid starts dripping from the ceiling
The Warning Signs
- Dripping sounds from above
- Black liquid falling in your vision
- Phone Guy explicitly warned: "DO NOT look up"
What Happens If You Look Up
"Never look up at the ceiling where the liquid is dripping from. It's a trap. But if you look anyway, you'll realize it was bait."
Death Sequence:
- You notice dripping from above
- Curiosity takes over - you look up
- You see... something waiting for you
- You realize too late it was bait
- "They're coming for you" - Death
How to Survive
✅ Hear/see dripping? Keep camera DOWN
✅ Look at the floor or straight ahead
✅ Continue working (you know ingredient locations)
✅ RESIST the urge to look up
✅ Wait until dripping stops completely
Why Players Die Here
This is one of the most common deaths because:
- Human curiosity is HARD to resist
- You want to know what's up there
- The game exploits this psychological tendency
Community Wisdom:
- "My curiosity will kill me" - Common sentiment
- "You can actually look up, just DON'T go all the way, around the eye is where you should stop" - Risky strategy, not recommended
Pro Tip: If you MUST see the monster, do it on a run you're willing to sacrifice!
