About Lurking Giants
Lurking Giants is a Roblox asymmetrical horror game where something lurks in the TV. Each round, one player becomes a towering giant while everyone else scrambles to survive across Forest and City maps until sunrise. Survivors get a lantern and flashlight and must stay alive from 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM, dodging the giant through visibility pulses that light them up. Rounds last about six minutes, so decisions happen fast - it is best played with friends, and the game is currently getting a major rework.
- Asymmetrical horror: one player spawns as a towering giant from a TV-style entrance, everyone else survives until 6:00 AM.
- The key mechanic is the visibility pulse - at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 AM all survivors light up for about ten seconds, so the giant can see you even through cover.
- Survivors use a lantern and flashlight and earn coins for surviving; the giant hunts with attack (Q) and haunt (G) and earns coins per kill.
- Two maps rotate - a Forest with geysers, campsites and caves, and a City of towers and billboards.
How to level up fast in Lurking Giants
As a survivor, never camp one spot - after each visibility pulse (1-5 AM) you are lit up, so relocate immediately or the giant will find you. Keep moving between cover, use your flashlight sparingly so you do not give away your position, and learn each map's hiding spots. As the giant, patrol between likely hiding areas and save your haunt (G) for the pulse windows when survivors are highlighted. Redeem the codes on this page for free Coins, and play with friends - it is far easier to survive as a coordinated group.
