Mall Game Guides

This hub is the map of every Mall Game tutorial on the wiki. Start with Premiers pas if you have never left the lobby. Use Comment jouer for binds and HUD. When you are ready to finish Tape 1, open the full walkthrough and keep how to survive Mother in a second tab.

Mall Game is not a tycoon and not a cop simulator. It is a story horror escape: a holiday trip, a blackout, and a parent who is no longer a parent. The pain points players search for are specific - David’s arm, the glizzy, the gas cans, the management code, Hard Mode’s extra Filip step. Each of those has a home below instead of one 8,000-word blob.

Pick a guide by problem

• I just installed it. Premiers pas covers lobby, codes, difficulty, and the Act 1 checklist.
• I cannot move / interact. Comment jouer lists PC, mobile, and controller binds, plus hunger and flashlight rules.
• I am lost in Act 2. Tape 1 walkthrough is the quest order from Filip to the rooftop.
• Mother sees me instantly. Comment survivre and the hiding-spot tier list.
• Hard Mode is a brick wall. Mode Difficile - faster hunter, extra code step, moved glizzy.
• What does this item do? Objets for keys, taser, fuel, pizza, and David’s arm.
• Where is BCPenney? Carte for stores, vents, bathrooms, and saferooms.
• How does it actually end? Tape 1 ending for the elevator, Fatback’s last scene, and badges.
• Playing with friends? Coop - two or three players, not a 50-person noise pit.

How Tape 1 is structured

Tape 1 is two acts. Act 1: The Mall is a daylight (holiday) walking sim: follow Mother, talk to Fraudisha, wander stores, then play the arcade obby. You cannot fail it by dying to the monster because the monster does not exist yet. Treat it as a map lesson. Act 2: The Blackout is the real game: Filip wakes you, hands you a flashlight, and the fetch-quest chain starts while Mother patrols.

The quest order tool is a printable version of that chain. Use it when a friend is calling objectives in voice and you need a silent checklist.

Co-op versus solo

Servers hold up to 50 players, but Tape 1 is friendlier as a small group. One person can watch Mother while another grabs the glizzy. Solo is absolutely possible - several YouTube clears exist with zero deaths - but you must respect sound, sprint, and flashlight. Comment survivre is written for both.

Revives are the solo tax. Claim Códigos first so a single wipe on the taser section does not send you back to Filip.

Revamp warning

The 2026 Refonte rebuilt environments and audio. Pre-revamp hiding pixels and vent one-ways may have moved. If a sentence on this wiki disagrees with what you see in alpha, trust the live map and send the difference to your notes. We flag known Hard Mode location swaps (glizzy on the stand versus the BCPenney reception table) on the Objets page.
