House of Hazards

House of Hazards is a multi-player party game based on a local gameplay where the most basic domestic activities become unbelievable survival tasks. The game was developed by New Eich Games (the developers of Getaway Shootout and Rooftop Snipers) and turns an ordinary house into a place where flying toast, falling lamps and pranking roommates cause havoc. House of Hazards was an instant cult game, with its unpredictable gameplay, physics centered on slapstick, and couch-co-op play. It takes the time of a second to make a cup of coffee, open mail or water the plants, so every second matters when people plan your next demise.

How to Play House of Hazards

It is a simple but ever-entertaining idea: do as many things around the house as you can and avoid the traps of your competitors.

Live Your "Normal" Life

You will have a list of simple tasks such as coffee, watering the flowers, checking the mailbox, etc., but you will not have a lazy day. There are dangers around every turn which are about to fling you flying.

Expect to dodge:

  • Falling light fixtures
  • Misfiring taps
  • Flying toast
  • Laser beams and spring-loaded traps

Each completed task earns you progress toward victory, but with chaos at every step, even walking across the kitchen can feel like an epic quest.

Cause Chaos for Your Housemates

When it’s your turn to play as the hazard-maker, it’s payback time! Trigger traps to stop others from finishing their tasks. You can:

  • Fire taps and lasers to knock players down.
  • Drop ceiling lights or furniture on their heads.
  • Grab their limp bodies and lock them in chests to keep them out of play.
  • It’s part strategy, part mayhem and all laughter.

Game Modes

Time Trial Mode: Perfect for beginners. Focus on completing tasks quickly while learning the controls and getting familiar with the hazards.

Local Multiplayer Mode: Up to four players can join the madness:

  • Two players using a keyboard
  • Two players using gamepads

You can also play solo with up to three AI opponents who are just as crafty (and cruel). Each round ends with a Wheel of Fortune event that introduces new rules, ensuring no two games ever feel the same.
