Lurking Giants is a horror-adventure game created by ULTRA works on Roblox. Something mysterious emerges from an old television, and you need to survive encounters with it. The game is undergoing major changes with new mechanics coming soon, so expect the experience to evolve as updates roll out.

This guide covers the basics to get you started in your first game.

What Is Lurking Giants?

Lurking Giants is a multiplayer horror experience. You and other players face supernatural threats tied to an old TV. The game emphasizes teamwork—you're stronger together than alone. The atmosphere is creepy, the stakes feel real, and survival requires paying attention to what's happening around you.

💡 Tip — Play with friends for the best experience. The game is designed with group gameplay in mind, and having teammates makes encounters much more fun and manageable.

Getting Started

When you first load Lurking Giants:

  1. Spawn into the game world. You'll appear in a starting area. Look around and get familiar with the environment.
  2. Check your character controls. Use WASD to move, Space to jump, and the mouse to look around. Standard Roblox controls apply.
  3. Observe other players. If others are already in the game, watch what they do. They may lead you toward objectives or show you safe areas.
  4. Listen for audio cues. Strange sounds or music changes often signal that something is happening. Pay attention—your ears are as important as your eyes.

Core Gameplay Loop

Each round follows a similar pattern:

  • Exploration: Move through the game world with your team, looking for clues or preparing for what's to come.
  • Encounters: The entity from the TV makes an appearance. Stay calm, follow your instincts, and work with your team.
  • Survival or reset: Either you and your team survive the encounter and continue, or the round ends and resets.

Common Beginner Mistakes

Playing solo: Lurking Giants is built for groups. You're vulnerable on your own and will struggle without teammates backing you up.

Ignoring the atmosphere: The game uses sound, lighting, and environmental changes to warn you. Dismissing these signs often leads to getting caught off guard.

Panicking during encounters: When something scary happens, stay with your group. Splitting up or running blindly usually ends badly.

Exploring recklessly: Not every area is safe at every moment. If something feels wrong, it probably is. Trust your gut and move cautiously.

Controller and VR Support

VR and controller support are coming soon to Lurking Giants. Once available, you'll be able to play with these input methods in addition to keyboard and mouse. Check back for updates when these features launch.

💡 Tip — The game is currently undergoing a massive rework with new mechanics. You may encounter minor bugs during this transition. Be patient and report any serious issues to the developers.
