House of Hazards

House of Hazards is a multiplayer party game where players move through a house filled with interactive traps while completing assigned objectives. The game takes place inside a small home with several rooms, each containing objects that can suddenly become dangerous. Players select a character, enter the house, and race to complete simple activities such as preparing breakfast or checking the front yard. The twist is that opponents can activate hazards remotely, turning regular furniture and appliances into obstacles that disrupt progress.

Movement, Tasks And Control Layout

In House of Hazards each player uses basic controls to run, jump and interact with items in the environment. Tasks appear as short instructions that must be completed before advancing to the next phase. Movement feels unpredictable because traps can activate at any moment, forcing players to adjust their approach. Some traps push characters backward, others cause temporary stun, and a few can remove a player from the round entirely. As a result, finishing tasks requires both awareness and short-term strategic planning.

To understand the flow of a typical match, the round structure can be summarized as follows:

·         spawn inside the house with a list of objectives

·         move toward task locations while avoiding hazards

·         complete tasks requiring interaction with household objects

·         trigger traps when possible to delay other players

·         reach the end of the round after finishing all objectives

Hazard Variety And Environmental Interaction

Each room in House of Hazards contains multiple items that can transform into hazards. Lamps may fall, drawers can slide out, kitchen appliances may launch objects, and outdoor areas include swinging obstacles or floor traps. These hazards activate when a player steps on specific buttons or switches located in different parts of the house. Because hazards are controlled manually by opponents, each round feels different depending on timing and player decisions. Environmental interaction becomes a central part of gameplay rather than a backdrop.

Game Modes And Player Options

House of Hazards includes several modes that adjust how players compete. A standard mission mode gives each player individual tasks to complete. A race-style mode focuses on reaching the exit before others. There are also elimination rounds where players try to survive longer than opponents in rooms full of traps. These variations allow the game to be played casually or competitively, depending on the group. Control schemes support both keyboard and controller inputs, making it accessible for local multiplayer sessions.
