Getting Started in OBAKEIDORO 2: Chase & Seek

## Before Your First Match
Start with Single-Player Chase & Seek if you're new -- it's explicitly the best mode for earning Coins at your own pace, and lets you learn the core chase mechanics before jumping into pressured multiplayer rounds.
Decide whether you're playing Human or Monster based on how you like to engage: Humans win through evasion and teamwork, while Monsters rely on special abilities to actively hunt -- these are genuinely different skillsets, not just flipped objectives.
## Managing a Group
If you're playing with a mixed group of owners and non-owners, take advantage of GameShare on Switch 2 rather than assuming everyone needs their own copy -- it's a real, practical way to fill out an 8-player lobby quickly.
## Using Custom Rules
Don't overlook Custom Rules mode if the default Monster-to-Human ratio or time limit doesn't suit your group -- adjusting these settings can make matches feel meaningfully different depending on your group's size and skill level.
## Common Mistakes
* Assuming this is available on PC or other consoles -- it's confirmed exclusive to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
* Jumping straight into 8-player Local Party matches before learning the core 3-minute chase loop in Single-Player mode first.
