About Boo Men
Boo Men drops you into a heist where you must collect a list of items before escaping. Light helps you see but drains power; a blackout forces you to locate the breaker and restore illumination.
Play solo or with up to three teammates in online co‑op, or become the Boo Man in PvP against up to five thieves. Eight Boo Men, eight maps, five difficulties and random spawns keep each session fresh.
01 / THE GUIDE
Game Modes
The game offers 1‑4 player online co‑op, automatically scaling challenges to the number of burglars. A separate PvP mode lets a single Boo Man hunt up to five thieves.
Both modes are played online, and the co-op game adjusts itself based on the number of burglars.
- Start with a small co‑op team to learn the power‑drain mechanic before adding more players.
- Try both co‑op and PvP to see which style matches your group’s preferences.

Boo Men Variety
There are eight distinct Boo Men, each providing a unique play‑style. Custom games let you add multiple copies of any Boo Man, creating endless combinations for chaotic encounters.
Randomized spawn locations and five difficulty levels further diversify each match, keeping the experience fresh across the eight burglary maps.
- Mix several Boo Men in a custom game to explore how their abilities interact.
- Begin on lower difficulty to learn each Boo Man’s behavior before increasing the challenge.

Light & Power Mechanics
Staying in the light helps you avoid Boo Men, but each light you turn on drains the power faster. When the power cuts out, you must locate the breaker to restore illumination.
A Boo Man may hide in a lit area, waiting for a player to switch the light off, adding tension to the decision of when to use lighting.
- Balance light usage: keep enough on to see, but conserve power for critical moments.
- Share breaker locations with teammates to reduce downtime after outages.

In‑Game Market
After successful burglaries, you can spend earned money in the market on new burglar masks, access to richer houses with larger payouts, or perks that aid future heists.
These purchases let you customize your approach, though the market’s items are limited to masks, house access upgrades, and helpful perks as described.
- Invest in richer houses early to increase potential earnings per run.
- Buy masks that suit your preferred visual style before spending on perks.

Proximity Voice Chat
The game includes proximity voice chat, allowing teammates to hear each other’s shouts and warnings in real time. This adds realism and helps coordinate actions during a heist.
Because the chat is audible to anyone nearby, it can also be heard by a Boo Man, so players may want to consider when and where to speak.
- Keep voice messages concise to reduce the chance of cluttering the audio space.
- Consider when and where you speak, since something else may be listening.
