Yeah, so think of it like a real‑life survival shooter. Start with a clear hub – the main safe house – then branch out into a series of corridors or alleys that have to be patrolled. Drop in some checkpoints that players must hit to get “safe” status, and add timed windows where enemies or hazards spike so players have to plan their route. Use natural chokepoints – a street corner, a bridge, a collapsed tunnel – where you can funnel the flow and give players a chance to reload or lay down cover. If you sprinkle a few “quick‑escape” routes, nobody’s stuck forever. And hey, throw in a few hidden caches for health or ammo; the hunt keeps people moving and the suspense alive. That should keep everyone alive and the gameplay spicy.

Nice tweak—keeps the sprinting team on their toes. I’ll tighten the checkpoints, make the enemy spike a quick burst, and stretch the cache path a bit so the patient ones get a sweet reward. Survival over chaos, even if it means I’m the last one to hit start.

Got it—line‑of‑sight checkpoints, spike on schedule, cache routes that test patience but not waste time. And yeah, give the late‑to‑start player a little head start; keeps the group moving and nobody’s stuck. Let’s make sure the timeline syncs up so the spike feels like a punch, not a glitch. All set!
