House of Hazards

Making a cup of coffee should be the safest job in the house. In this house the ceiling lamp is a weapon, the toaster fires bread at your face and the person who drops the lamp is sitting right next to you. House of Hazards is a free party game you play in your browser. You race your housemates through simple chores while each player sets off traps to knock the others out first.

Game Controls

How It Works

House of Hazards gives every player the same short list of household chores, such as making coffee, checking the mailbox or watering the flowers. You run, jump and duck through the rooms to reach each chore and finish it. Getting through your list before the others is how you come out ahead.

The twist is that the house itself is armed. Lamps can fall from the ceiling, faucets can blast water and toast can shoot out of the toaster, and those traps are fired by the other players rather than by the game. A knocked out player loses time, and a rival can even pick up the body and lock it in a chest.

1. Read your chore list at the start of the round.
2. Run to the first chore with A and D, jumping obstacles with W.
3. Complete the chore, then head for the next one on your list.
4. Crouch with S when a rival is near a lamp or the toaster.
5. Trigger a hazard with S when a rival walks past it.
6. Finish the full list before the other players to win the round.

What Makes It Stand Out

• Traps run by people: Every hazard is timed by a real player, so no 2 rounds play out the same way.
• Chores as a race: Simple tasks like making coffee turn into a sprint through a trapped house.
• 2 players on 1 keyboard: The split key layout lets a second player join without extra hardware.
• Physics comedy: Characters flop and tumble when a trap lands, which makes even a loss funny to watch.
• From the makers of Rooftop Snipers: New Eich Games built it with the same floppy local multiplayer style.

Getting Started

• Learn the House of Hazards layout before you race. Knowing which room holds each chore saves more time than any dodge.
• Memorize where the traps sit. Lamps, faucets and the toaster stay in fixed spots, so you can predict where an attack will come from.
• Watch your rivals, not just the house. Every hazard is fired by a player, so a rival who stops moving next to a lamp is about to use it.
• Save your hazard for the last chore. A trap fired at a rival who is about to finish costs them far more than one fired early.

Going Further

House of Hazards turns into a game of bluffing once everyone knows the house. Strong players stand near a hazard they control while moving toward their own chore, so they can attack and progress at the same time. Waiting a moment before passing a trap is often smarter than running straight through, because a rival may already be holding the key. The real economy of a round is time: every knockout you cause is time your rival loses, and every chore you finish while they recover is a lead that's hard to take back.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Running through trap zones blind. Most knockouts happen in the same few spots near lamps and faucets.
• Only playing defense. Dodging every trap still loses if you never slow down the leader.
• Firing a hazard too early. A trap triggered with nobody near gives your rivals an easy pass.
• Forgetting the outdoor chores. The mailbox pulls you out of the house, so plan the route before you leave.

Final Thoughts
