All players stand on the platform, after which it begins to rotate to the music. When the platform stops, a number lights up on the scoreboard — that's how many people should be in one room. Players must split into groups in 30 seconds, run to the free rooms and occupy them. If, after the time expires, there are more or fewer players in the room than indicated on the scoreboard, then the entire team is killed. If the player does not manage to find a team or hide in a room, he will also be killed.
