House of Hazards turns everyday chores into a chaotic multiplayer battle. Wake up, brush your teeth, make coffee, water the plants, and check the mail - all while dodging flying toast, falling lights, and traps set by your housemates. Finish your routine and get out the door first, or knock out your friends and stash them in a chest for extra mischief.
What is House of Hazards?
House of Hazards is a Casual multiplayer game where 1 to 4 players race through a house filled with hazards and obstacles. Complete a daily routine while avoiding traps like leaky faucets, swinging toys, and toasters. Play against AI or compete locally with friends, and unlock new characters by beating your best times.
It’s a physics-based party game that rewards quick thinking and perfect timing. The chaos ramps up fast - one wrong step and you’re getting zapped by a laser or bonked by a cabinet door. Expect surprises every round.
How to Play House of Hazards
Your goal is simple: finish all morning tasks and leave the house before anyone else. Each task is in a different room - bathroom, kitchen, garden, mailbox. Hazards are scattered everywhere, and other players can activate traps to slow you down. Get hit and you’ll be stunned or knocked out; if you’re KO’d, an opponent can drag you into a chest and earn bonus points.
How to Unlock Characters
Eight characters are available. Marissa, Jerry, Samantha, and Dom start unlocked. Robo Rob, Buster, Rocking Grandma, and Super Sam are locked. Beat your previous record in multiplayer mode to unlock each hidden character. The faster you finish, the more you’ll unlock.
Tips and Tricks for House of Hazards
- Timing traps wins rounds
Activate a toaster or swing just as an opponent passes to guarantee a hit. Early or late means they slip through. - Use the Wheel of Fortune
At the end of each round, the wheel adds modifiers like reversed controls or extra traps. Adapt quickly or get stunned. - Block doorways
Drop hazards near task zones (coffee machine, sink) to force opponents into multiple traps. - Knock and stash
If you KO someone, drag them into a chest immediately. It removes them from the round and secures your lead.
