## What is Bug Out?

Eight players. One house. Three minutes.

Four bugs, four catchers, one buzzer. The bugs have one job: stay free until time runs out. The catchers have one job: find every last one of them. Miss a single bug and the whole round is lost.

HIDE LIKE IT MATTERS
Squeeze into a cabinet. Drop into a barrel. Hold still in a bathtub. Twenty-eight rooms and every one of them has somewhere to disappear - but sit in the same spot too long and it starts to give you away.

ONE BUTTON, ELEVEN POWERS
Every bug gets one, and it is always the same tap. Burrow under the floor and come up across the room. Vanish mid-sprint. Flood a room with ink. Anchor a catcher in place and drag him off his feet. Swap places with a decoy and walk away.

TEN CATCHERS, TEN WAYS TO GET CAUGHT
Flamethrowers. Lasers. Poison gas. A club that cracks the floor open. A tongue. A net. One of them simply swallows you whole. Sweep a room with SCAN and watch the hiding spots light up one by one.

TAKE THE HOUSE
Rooms are worth BUZZ. Walk into one and it flips to your colour - unless a catcher is standing in it, and then you get nothing. Catching wins the round. BUZZ is what you take home.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY
- Solo against bots, one to four a side
- Private lobbies with a code, for your friends only
- Public 4v4 matchmaking
- 20 bugs and catchers to unlock and 20 skins to wear
- Daily missions, a weekly leaderboard, and four ranks to climb

No blood, no gore - just eight of you in a house and a three-minute clock.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.123 — 2026-10-10

Meet the Raccoon!

• New bug: the Raccoon. His power is NIGHT VISION: for a few seconds he sees through the dark rooms, and every catcher in his room runs away in fear for a moment, giving him a head start.
• Three Raccoon skins: Ginger, Arctic, and the Bandit, who floats down under a yellow trash bag and sees the dark in amber.
• Flight canopies come alive: the Bandit's trash bag billows and the Prisoner Fly's newspaper flaps in the wind.
• The clock room's plate is now a raised block that presses down when anyone stands on it, with a glowing loader around its rim.
• New catchers get a tip explaining they can't go outside.
• Privacy: if you decline personalised ads in the consent message, the game no longer asks for tracking permission.
• Smoother lighting and shadows, plus other fixes.

### 1.0.120 — 2026-10-03

Refinements and fixes.

• Notifications: after a couple of matches the game asks if it may send you a notification now and then, for new bugs, catchers and events. It is optional, and you can switch it off at any time in your device settings.
• Rooms are a touch brighter.

### 1.0.119 — 2026-09-29

Refinements and fixes.

NEW PLAYERS
• The practice room now shows you what to do instead of telling you: floor dots lead the way to a hiding spot, and a pointing hand lands on the exact button to press — no reading required.
• A hand rests on the joystick when you are asked to walk somewhere, and disappears the moment you start moving.
• The smash hint now only appears when you are actually close enough to break the hiding spot in front of you.
• No bloodstains or bodies in the practice room.

IMPROVEMENTS
• A full hold on the Clock Room's brass plate now pays 15 buzz, up from 10.
• Lanterns are visible in any lit room, not only the one you are standing in.
• Smoother computer-controlled players — catchers get moving as quickly as a real player does, only one of them works on a sealed steel door instead of crowding it, and they face the way they are walking as they close on the freezer's ice.

### 1.0.118 — 2026-09-27

Refinements and fixes.

IMPROVEMENTS
• The Clock Room now appears correctly on every map layout, and a gold ring sweeps around the brass plate as you hold it.
• The Octopus blends more closely into whatever is right behind him when he holds still.
• Smoother computer-controlled players — running bugs no longer jitter, bots now break through and hop over the freezer's ice walls, and they hold their ground around the Clock Room.
• In the store, the preview arrows step through the champions in the same order as the grid.

FIXES
• Deleting your account while offline now finishes cleanly the next time you are online.

### 1.0.116 — 2026-09-25

A new room to stand your ground in, a new trick for the Octopus, and replays you choose to watch.

NEW
• The Clock Room. One room on the catchers' side of the map now holds a grandfather clock. Stand still on its brass plate for 5 seconds to earn buzz and take 15 seconds off the round, once per bug. While you stand, the catchers hear it ticking and see the room light up on their map, and one hit stops the clock for 15 seconds.
• The Octopus camouflages. Stand still for a moment and he takes on the look of whatever is behind him, until he moves again.
• The Pincher's anchor now works while gliding. Hook the wall ahead and get hauled over it onto the floor behind.
• Replays wait for you. After you are caught, tap the replay button to watch it back instead of it playing on its own.

IMPROVEMENTS
• Solo matches load without freezing the screen on the way in.
• Smoother play on older phones.
• In solo, the arrows over players show your team in blue and the other team in red.
• New players get a name straight away, and the weekly leaderboard shows your new name after you change it.

FIXES
• A bug in mid-leap can no longer duck into a hiding spot and become uncatchable.
• The Termite can no longer dig in from a trampoline or in mid-leap, and a bot Termite no longer dies when it burrows.
• No more flicker on the screen when a match ends.
• Deleting your account while offline now finishes the next time you are online.
