Official Press Kit

Hijinks High is a multiplayer roguelike party game where you and up to five friends get graded on everything you were told not to do as kids. Up to six of you. One school day. That's the game.

You're a kid with no impulse control and a full day to work with. You eat and drink everything you can get your hands on, you get stronger for it, and you turn a normal school day into the worst thing that has ever happened to that building. Every fart, every spill, every explosion is worth points. The mess you leave behind isn't set dressing either — your puddle is the thing your friend slips in, and it's also the thing that slows down the teacher trying to drag you to detention.

• Wager Before the Bus

  An illicit lemonade stand sells mutators that bend the whole school day out of shape. Buy Wheelchair Roulette and it lands on one player at random — nobody knows who until it does. Harder on purpose pays out more for surviving it.

• Fuel Up

  Crush pizza, slam sodas, chug milk, and stuff your face with junk food to power up. Every bite and sip feeds your stomach, fills your bladder, and stacks gameplay buffs that carry you through the day.

• Survive Yourself

  Let your stomach run low and you'll pass out. Push too hard and you'll pay the price. Battle rolling nausea, a screaming bladder, and the occasional concussion just to make it to the bus in one piece.

• The Whole School Is Your Playground

  Pick up, place, throw, and use the objects around you. Lockers, lunch trays, dodgeballs, and jetpacks — if it's not nailed down, it's part of your toolkit. Every prop is begging for its moment.

• Get It On the Bus

  A black hole in third period puts the school into lockdown, and the staff stop trying to send you to detention and start blocking the exits. Only the chaos that physically leaves the building with you counts toward what you can bring next run.

• Play It Your Way

  Third person is the default view for every character, with first person one keypress away. Every space in the school is navigable and every objective is solvable from a wheelchair — that's a design rule, not a feature.
