How to Play The Bunny Carnival Hunt Tutorial and Guide!

Are you struggling to survive the carnival and escape the hunter in Carnival Hunt? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about playing as a bunny, managing your resources, and using the carnival’s features to reach the final door and escape.

Bunny Basics

In Carnival Hunt, you play as one of four wind-up bunnies. Your goal is simple: work together with your teammates to reach the top floor of the carnival and open the exit door.

Since bunnies are wind-up toys, you must always keep your charge active. Without it, you’ll stop moving. To manage this, you’ll need the wind-up key, one of the most important tools in the game.

Uses of the Wind-up Key:

• Charge other bunnies to keep them alive.
• Open doors or shortcuts.
• Activate the merchant, Jack, to craft items.
• Power the mechanisms that unlock the exit door.

Life Gears and Survival

Each bunny starts with three life gears, shown on the HUD. If you get thrown, caged, or fall, you’ll lose one gear. Run out of gears, and if the hunter catches you—it’s game over. To escape through the top exit, your team will need two gears to unlock it. Plan carefully, and don’t waste resources.

Ways to Climb Higher and Escape to Win!

The carnival has multiple attractions that help bunnies reach the upper floors:

• Gates: Insert a gear, then wind it up with the key.
• High Striker Minigame: Activate a zip line for a ride up.
• Cannon: Launch a teammate (but they lose one life gear).
• Ferris Wheel: Works for 60 seconds after pulling the lever.
• Roller Coaster: Two bunnies ride while another winds it up.
• Rope: Found in the carnival, lets you create shortcuts for your team.

Be careful—using attractions notifies the hunter of your actions. The rope is the safest option if you don’t want to draw attention. If at least two bunnies have escaped and 30 minutes have passed, the Lost Hat will spawn. With it, one bunny can leave the carnival. Use the radar to locate it.

Crafting and Items

Bunnies aren’t completely helpless. You can craft or find items like:

• Fireworks: Stun the hunter.
• Unicycle: Save charge and escape quickly.
• Oiler: Restores one life gear.
• Smoke Carrot: Hides you from the hunter and Tickmen.
• Radar: Locates gears, imposters, and the Lost Hat.
• Marbles: Trip the hunter.
• Balloon: Cross gaps or descend safely.
• Trampoline: Jump to higher areas.

Craft these at Jack the Merchant, but remember—you’ll need to feed him candy.

Randomized Carnival Map

Every match feels different. While the main hall with the merry-go-round always appears, two out of four side sections are random each time. This keeps both bunnies and hunters guessing.

Stealth and Tickmen

Sometimes hiding is better than running. Bunnies can “play dead” to blend in. But beware of Tickmen, NPCs who alert the hunter if they spot you nearby. Stay out of their range.

Teamwork and Communication

Inventory is limited, so sharing items is essential. Use the ping system or voice chat to coordinate with teammates. Just remember: if you’re too close, the hunter can hear you too.

What Happens When Caught

When the hunter catches you, it may:

• Cage you: You’ll lose a life gear but can be freed by teammates.
• Throw you: This triggers the panic effect, giving you a speed boost and access to rabbit holes for a quick escape.

Gear System and Progression

As you level up, you unlock recipes for gears and cosmetics. Equipping gears gives you special abilities, such as:

• High Jump Gear: Reach tough spots quickly.
• Dash Gear: Boost in any direction to dodge danger.

These gears have cooldowns, so use them wisely.

So, Stay charged at all timesnever let your red circle deplete. Communicate with your team, but don’t alert the hunter. Use ropes and shortcuts to outsmart the enemy. Balance risk and reward—sometimes avoiding attractions keeps you alive. The carnival is dangerous, but with teamwork, smart item usage, and careful planning, you’ll be able to outlast the puppet master and escape the nightmare in Carnival Hunt.
