House of The Locust Escape Checklist

Use this Escape Checklist before, during, and after House of The Locust runs. It is a thinking tool for NULLWORKS STUDIOS’ Roblox Pre-Alpha—not a fabricated puzzle spoiler sheet. Escaped sits near an 11% community-reported win rate; rituals help you join the minority without cheats.

Parent hub: Tools Hub. Deep guides: How to Escape, How to Survive.

Pre-run checklist

• Launched via verified listing — Official Links (place 86247128610772)
• Audio on, volume balanced for SFX
• Controls confirmed for your device — Controls
• Goal chosen: learn or Escaped (not both confused)
• Variant chosen: Main Game first unless you already read Lights Off well
• Quick skim of The Locust if you feel rusty
• No script tabs open — Script Safety
• No fake codes tab spiral — Codes Hub

Mid-run checklist (repeat lightly)

• What information did I buy in the last 20 seconds?
• Am I walking to scan or panic-sprinting?
• Did I camera-sweep the new space?
• Is my next objective something actually on screen / shown in community walkthroughs—not invented?
• Commit or abort: pick one
• Callouts under five words if stacked in a 50-player server
• If Lights Off: am I slowing enough to read contrast?

Panic breaker (10 seconds)

1. Stop non-critical inputs if safe
2. Name one fact
3. Choose the next five seconds only

Details in How to Survive.

Escape commit checklist

• Exit window is real, not wishful
• Path is clear enough to commit
• I am not greed-looting “one more thing” on a ~6 minute clock
• Teammates informed with a short callout if relevant

Post-run checklist

• One-sentence note: why alive time ended or why Escaped worked
• Update personal habit tier — Survival Tactics
• If tutorial fundamentals failed, revisit Tutorial Guide
• If patch week, compare feel to Next Update
• Queue again only after the note exists

Weekly add-ons

• Read Updates Hub once
• Skim The Boiled One during roadmap season
• Recheck Getting Started if you onboarded a friend
• Confirm you still refuse executors after another hype wave

How not to misuse this tool

Do not turn the checklist into a superstition that replaces looking at your screen. Do not add invented prop rows. Do not share “checklist scripts.” Keep it fair.

Closing

Print it mentally, run it verbally with friends, or glance between matches. Structure is how Pre-Alpha players with 2.8M+ visit energy convert retries into Escaped—on R6, at ~82% community rating energy, without burning their accounts.

Squad version of the checklist

If you queue with friends:

• Assign one person to watch audio callouts
• Assign one person to track commit/abort decisions
• Keep a shared rule: no fake scripts, no code scams mid-run
• After wipes, each player says one note before rematch

Squads that skip notes recreate the same fail in the next ~6 minute session. Squads that use this checklist convert 2.8M+ visit energy into deliberate Escaped attempts.

Printable mental card (short form)

Pre: audio, controls, goal, variant, no scams. Mid: info bought, sprint choice, sweep done, commit/abort. Post: one note, habit tier, rematch only after writing. That short form fits between ~6 minute averages without needing a second monitor.
