Survive Your Ideas: A beginner’s guide

This post was originally published on this site.

Survive Your Ideas is a survival experience where players can use their words to trigger various effects. The game places all participants on an open field and randomly assigns the role of the writer to a player for a turn. During their turn, the chosen player can type in a word to activate a specific effect, which can lead to other Robloxians getting eliminated in the process. The player who survives the ensuing chaos the longest wins the match.

Let’s explore how you can get started in Survive Your Ideas.


Getting started in Survive Your Ideas

Overview

Survive Your Ideas is a disaster survival experience with a major twist: the players can control what disasters or boons activate at any given time. All players in a match are given turns, during which they can type in a word to activate the associated effect. The game ensures all players have their turn once before giving them a subsequent turn.

Many of the words that can be entered have fixed effects, such as “NUKE”, “DINOSAUR”, and “TSUNAMI”. Once entered, their effects remain active for a little while before disappearing. It’s worth noting that certain words are exceptions, such as “ZOMBIES” or “METEOR”, the effects of which remain active for the duration of the match.

If you enter a word that is not in the game’s database of effects, then the game will react in two ways. The first has it activate an effect that is the closest to an existing effect. On the other hand, the second causes it to spawn an NPC with the same name as the entered effect.

Your objective is to survive for as long as possible. Matches can last well over 10 minutes, so be sure to stay alert to ensure you can be the last survivor standing.

  • Cash: Cash is the main currency of the game, which is primarily rewarded to you based on how long you survive. You can use it to unlock Meta Words, which are special passives that can help you improve the odds of victory in a match. Be sure to use the Meta Words menu in the lobby to purchase access to these words. Note that some of the Meta Words are exclusively premium.
  • Index: The game categorizes words you enter into multiple sections, which you can view in the Index. Upon entering a word, if it exists in the game’s database, its associated Index entry is unlocked. This can help you get one-time Cash rewards to help you unlock additional Meta Words.
  • Survival: Generally, survival entails climbing to the highest platform or hiding in an enclosed space. Matches in this game are not too chaotic, as there is a decent period between each prompt entered by the players. Keep an eye out on the various effects triggered by the participants, and surviving should be a cinch.
