There are two game modes players can participate in: Classic or Hide and Seek, from the Game Type menu.

Final Hide
Once the Hide Time is up, the Final Hide happens. The Impostor needs some assistance from the remaining Crewmates to capture them during these final seconds when the screen flashes red. The Impostors and Crewmates should play the game during this final hide period as follows:
-
Impostor:
- Ping system: Crewmates will occasionally see red “pings” that resemble circles over them, letting them know where they are in relation to the Impostor. After a ping, you’d better flee quickly or try to mislead the Impostor by hiding!
- Faster Impostor: To help them pursue the surviving Crewmates, Impostors have a significant speed increase. Must move quickly.
- Seek map: Impostors receive a new Seek map that shows where the remaining Crewmates are located in general.
-
Crewmates
- Players must do their best to escape, stay alive, hide, and evade the Impostor.
- Players notice a red “ping” circle over you every few seconds, which the Impostor can use to locate you.

The Gift Cube Cosmicube and the Snowbean and Snowflake Cosmicube will both remain on sale until January 1, 2023, respectively.
