How to Play Carnival Hunt

Pick a Role, Then Master the Loop

Carnival Hunt is a 5v1 first-person asymmetric horror match: five wind-up Bunnies cooperate to climb a procedural carnival while one Monster hunts them. Charge drains for both sides—keys make noise, silence wins fights, and Play Dead can buy the seconds a squad needs.

New survivors should start with Bunny survival and wind-up keys. Monster mains begin with the hunter beginner guide, then Magician hunting or Sisters how-to, and read beat the Sisters for Bunny-side counter intel.

The embedded preview above shows first-match Bunny camera work. Pair it with written pages below so you learn why routes and candy timing matter, not only what the HUD looks like. After week-two hotfixes, also learn status effects (Stunned vs Confusion).

Role Guides

Bunny Survival — charge discipline, floor progression, and five-player teamwork.
Magician Hunting — Hat Trick, Imposters, Invisibility, Teleport, and card pressure.
Sisters Hunting — scissors, Scream of Pain Confusion, mannequins, and mirrors.
Play Dead Tactics — feign shutdown among fallen puppets and bait inspections.
Hunter Beginner Guide — Monster onboarding when the in-game Hunter tutorial is still thin.
Status Effects — Stunned, Confusion, and Panic interactions.

After Your First Matches

Move into the guides hub for escape routes, Magician counters, and hide setups. Use the wind-up calculator when planning long rotations, and check controls before changing keybinds mid-stack.

Week-two patches can shift Sisters and status rules quickly—revisit this hub after Steam news drops and cross-check patch notes plus live status.
