Get ready to dominate Project: Playtime with our list of the 10 best tips and tricks for survivors! Whether you’re a newbie just starting out or a seasoned pro looking to up your game, these tips will help you stay alive and outsmart the monster. From familiarizing yourself with the controls and mechanics to staying focused and alert, these tips will give you the edge you need to survive and emerge victorious. So let’s dive in and see how you can become the ultimate survivor in “Project: Playtime”!

Use Roland’s roll to gain small bursts of speed and distance. Remember that if you jump before completing the full roll, it will preserve your speed and momentum, giving you a little extra distance. Mobility is crucial in this game, so every bit of distance you can gain is important.

Pay attention to your surroundings. Keep an eye out for the toy approaching you while you’re interacting with puzzle pillars, as the sounds can sometimes mask the toy’s approach and allow them to get an easy down on you.

It’s okay to stop in the middle of a puzzle if you need to, as it will save your progress and allow either you or someone else to finish the remainder of the puzzle later.

Keep an eye on where your fellow survivors are down, as this can give you an idea of whether you have enough time to complete a puzzle or need to silently move away.

Sound is very important to the toy, as it can hear almost everything you do within range. To stay hidden, use a third-person camera and keep an eye on the toy’s movements. Try to anticipate its movements and slowly crouch around to avoid being seen. If you hear the toy approaching, it’s best to run away and gain distance.

Keep in mind that the toy can track your footprints, which disappear after a few seconds. There is a perk that can reduce the visibility of your footprints, but you can also use them to your advantage by running around a corner and breaking the line of sight, then crouching in the corner and running off behind the toy as it passes you.

Look for red and orange lights while running. Red lights normally indicate passageways or zones that can earn you extra distance, while orange lights indicate mark handles that can be grabbed to either use crash doors or grapple handles to swing over pits marked with red lights. Choose your path based on which toy you’re facing, as some toys (like Boxy Boot) can easily cross pits with spring jumps, while others (like Huggy) have to take the long way around.

Use environmental obstacles to gain distance and confuse the toy. Break the line of sight and use low ceiling passages to mix things up and keep the toy guessing. If the toy is chasing you, try running around a corner and breaking the line of sight, then crouching in the corner and running off behind the toy as it passes you.

Plan your escape routes in advance, based on the distance you have at the start of the chase. Use the lights to know where to run for crash doors or grapple handles, and constantly break the line of sight and move up or down levels to confuse the toy and keep the cycle going.

If the toy reaches you, your best option is to run through the toy to confuse it while rolling, then try to gain some distance and reach something that can give you more time. Remember that at this point, your goal is to survive for as long as possible.

And there you have it – the 10 best tips and tricks for surviving in PROJECT: PLAYTIME! From using Roland’s roll to gain distance to staying aware of your surroundings and using environmental obstacles to your advantage, these tips will help you outsmart the toy and emerge victorious. Remember to stay focused and always have a plan in mind, and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a pro survivor.
