How To Escape The Cat in The Hat
Lets talk about the monster haunting the school grounds, The Cat in The Hat. It's generally one of the more quiet enemies as it doesn't always produce a sound queue and is able to stalk and get you if you're not paying attention to your surroundings. This is why it's important to always look around you when running, especially behind you, because it can snatch you without warning. When producing noise, it lets out a chuckle and sometimes speaks catchphrase along with silly tunes. The best way to escape it is to hide by running to the nearest classroom and standing still in the farthest corner while not producing noise. If you hear it making noise and locking onto you, you must run away and get out of line of sight by cutting corners. You can also throw a fellow teammate under the bus and stand still behind them so the Cat in The Hat caches them instead. The death animation will provide you with enough time to make a mad dash for it.
How To Complete The Playground Map in Scream And Run
You are spawned in a very nostalgic playground setting, filled with colors and bright lights. It's all fun and games until everything goes dark. The good thing about the Playground Map in Scream and Run is that there is a bunch of terrain you can utilize to your advantage. Corners, slides and ball pits are all excellent hiding spots. Unlike the School map, there's an additional objective you must complete and items to retrieve to advance towards a successful escape. Same as before, you are going through backpacks in order to find 5 different colored keys. However, you will come across a screwdriver in one of the bags, which is a crucial element to opening the exit. This item is used to interact with a power box. You will receive a sequence of quick time events where you'll need to hit the skill checks to power the gates leading to the other side of the map. Once the gates are open, you can continue your search for the keys, just keep in mind you'll be doing it in the dark for a few seconds. When you find the last key, run back to the door, always check around you to make sure you're safe before beginning the unlocking action as it's slow and you can get snatched.
How To Escape Ronald McDonald
This level's monster is a beloved character in red, while and yellow, out for blood in a truly horror-esque fashion. None other than Ronald McDonald. His sound queue, which is the eerie pitter-patter of his steps, gives you a head start to dash before he comes for you. While he's chasing you, it is necessary to cut as many corners as you can. If the music becomes wilder, he's speeding up. Use the various hidey holes around the map and don't make any noise. The main indication that you're successfully evading him is if his music starts to fade. If it completely stops, you're in the clear. His hitbox is actually quite small, so if caught in a corner you can always juke him. Simply wait for him to rush at you before dashing to the side at the last second. Works like a charm!
How To Complete The Mines Map in Scream And Run
This Map is one with the most objectives you need to fulfill before even thinking of escaping.

You can use that coal to power furnaces around the map, which open gates. These gates lead you to different parts of the level, closer to your main goal. Which is finding TNT and a lighter in the same fashion, and using these items to blow up a rockpile, ultimately allowing you to escape. You will need to collect 6 TNTs before standing back and waiting for the blast to create a getaway route to victory.
How To Escape Dark Thomas
This maps monster is a grotesque abomination called Dark Thomas. A spider like train that leaves little time to reach before he's jumpscaring you.
