House of Hazards is a hilarious local multiplayer party game where you compete against friends to complete simple household tasks while dodging deadly traps set by other players. Navigate through a chaotic home filled with flying toast, misfiring taps, falling light fixtures, and laser beams as you attempt basic chores like making coffee, checking the mailbox, or watering flowers. With up to 4 players causing mayhem simultaneously—or playing solo against 3 AI opponents—this game transforms boring daily routines into frantic competitions where your housemates actively sabotage your every move. Unlock special characters like Robo Rob and Rocking Grandma as you progress, and discover just how dangerous household life can become when everyone's trying to knock you out.
Gameplay & Objective
In House of Hazards, you race to complete assigned household tasks before other players while simultaneously activating hazards to stop them from finishing their objectives. Success requires balancing your own task completion with causing maximum chaos for opponents who are trying to do the same to you.
- Complete household tasks by navigating to specific locations like the kitchen for making coffee, the mailbox for checking mail, or the garden for watering flowers despite constant hazards blocking your path.
- Avoid deadly hazards including flying toast slices, water jets from taps, falling light fixtures, laser beams, and other dangerous household objects that knock you down when they hit you.
- Activate traps against opponents by positioning yourself at hazard control stations and timing attacks perfectly to hit other players as they attempt their tasks.
- Grab knocked-out players and drag their unconscious bodies to chests where you can lock them away temporarily, removing competitors from the game for precious seconds.
- Master movement and timing by jumping over hazards, crouching under attacks, and moving quickly between safe zones while watching for opponents preparing traps.
- Unlock special characters including Robo Rob, Buster, Rocking Grandma, and Super Sam by accumulating experience through completing tasks and winning rounds against friends or AI.

Strategy Session
- New players should start with Time Trial mode to learn hazard locations and timing patterns before competing against others. Jumping directly into multiplayer without knowing where dangers appear leads to constant knockouts and frustration. Spend 10-15 minutes in Time Trial memorizing which hazards exist in each room, where they shoot from, and their timing patterns—this knowledge gives massive advantages when human opponents start targeting you.
- Prioritize knocking down the current task leader rather than completing your own objectives when scores are close. Many players focus only on their assigned tasks and ignore opponents, but preventing the leader from finishing their final task often matters more than rushing your own completion. If someone's one task ahead, switch to hazard control positions and target them relentlessly until they're knocked out, even if it delays your progress.
- When knocked down, watch where opponents position themselves before you recover to avoid immediate re-knockouts. Getting hit once is manageable, but observant players notice patterns where the same hazard hits them repeatedly after respawning. While unconscious, pay attention to which hazards opponents are controlling—when you stand up, immediately move away from those danger zones instead of continuing toward your original destination, breaking the knockout cycle.
House of Hazards delivers laugh-out-loud local multiplayer chaos that transforms mundane household chores into competitive mayhem where friendships are tested and controllers are thrown.
