Gameplay

Core Mechanics

Fall Guys is a multiplayer in which up to 32 players customizable bean-shaped characters, known as Beans, competing in a series of chaotic obstacle courses and mini-games within the fictional Blunderdome arena. The core objective is to outlast all other participants through successive rounds, with the ultimate winner earning that signifies victory and unlocks in-game rewards. Matches emphasize physics-based interactions, where Beans' wobbly, gelatinous animations lead to unpredictable tumbles, bounces, and collisions, creating a blend of competition and comedy. Since the Fall Forever Update in April 2024, a typical match consists of 3 rounds (two qualifying rounds followed by a final), randomly selected from a pool of over 70 diverse levels (as of 2025), each lasting approximately 2-5 minutes and designed to eliminate a portion of the field based on performance thresholds. Qualifying rounds often feature race-style obstacles, such as "See Saw," where players must balance across tilting platforms to reach the goal without falling into the abyss below; failure to qualify—typically the bottom half of performers—results in immediate elimination. Survival rounds like "Hex-A-Gone" challenge players to jump between disappearing hexagonal tiles across multiple layers, requiring constant motion to avoid plummeting through the floor. Team-based rounds introduce cooperation or rivalry, but all funnel toward the final round. Gameplay revolves around simple yet versatile controls that facilitate navigation and interaction: players can run automatically, jump to clear obstacles, dive to gain momentum or cover distance, and grab using a dedicated to latch onto other Beans, ledges, or objects. Grabbing serves dual purposes, allowing players to sabotage opponents by pulling them off platforms or to hitch rides on moving elements, while environmental hazards like spinning blades, slippery surfaces, and falling tiles demand quick reflexes and spatial awareness. These mechanics promote both individual skill and opportunistic interference, as Beans can push, pull, or pile up in clusters, often leading to mass eliminations. In the final round, the remaining players vie for victory in high-stakes finales, such as "Royal Fumble," where one player spawns with a glowing that others must grab and hold until the expires. Qualifying thresholds vary by round type—for instance, in races, a set number or percentage advance, while in hunts, players collect the most items like eggs or gems. elements are integral, enabling players to shove rivals into hazards or steal objectives, but the game's forgiving respawn-free structure ensures matches remain fast-paced, with lobbies shrinking from 32 to as few as one winner per game.

Currencies and Progression

Fall Guys features several in-game currencies that drive its economy and player progression, primarily revolving around rewards for performance and challenges rather than direct purchases for core gameplay advantages. The main currencies include Crowns, , Show-Bucks, and , each serving distinct roles in unlocking and advancing player status. Crowns represent achievement in competitive play and are earned exclusively through strong performances in matches. receive one for winning a solo show or special event, while squad modes distribute a total of among the team based on collective placement, such as full shares for first place or partial for lower rankings. Additionally, —fragments earned via challenges, marathon events, or squad shows—can be collected, with five converting to one full . These cannot be purchased with real money and are used solely to elevate the player's Rank, a permanent progression system that unlocks customization options like costumes, emotes, patterns, and animations at specific rank thresholds, such as the Remarkable Medal costume at Rank 76. Kudos serve as an accessible, earnable currency for basic customization, obtained through participation in events, completion of daily and weekly challenges, and progression in the Fame Pass. Unlike pre-2022 systems where were awarded at ends, they now accrue at rates tied to challenge completion, such as batches from event milestones, without direct real-money purchase options. are spent in the in-game store on common-rarity items, including entry-level costumes, colors, nicknames, faceplates, and patterns, enabling players to personalize their Beans without investment. Show-Bucks function as the premium currency, primarily acquired through real-money purchases via the or in-game shop, though limited amounts (up to 1,500 per season) can be earned for free by advancing through the Fame Pass tiers. They are used to purchase the Fame Pass upgrade (typically 600–950 Show-Bucks for full access) or cosmetics like uncommon and higher-rarity costumes and emotes directly from the , providing accelerated access to seasonal and exclusive items. Progression in Fall Guys is structured around two key systems: the Fame Pass and Crown Rank, supplemented by player levels tied to overall Fame accumulation. Fame points, earned by advancing through rounds (e.g., approximately 20–25 points per qualification, scaling with performance), completing daily/weekly challenges, and participating in live events, fill the Fame Pass—a 100-tier with free and premium tracks. Advancing tiers unlocks a mix of cosmetics, , Show-Bucks, and Crown Shards, with premium tiers requiring the Show-Bucks purchase for full rewards; for instance, the Festive Cowboys Fame Pass in early 2025 offered themed costumes upon tier completion. Rank provides a separate, infinite unlock tree based on total Crowns accumulated, granting permanent items independent of seasons. These systems encourage consistent play, with Fame resetting per season but contributing to an overarching level for additional minor rewards. The Fame Pass ties into premium progression via Show-Bucks upgrades, while creative mode occasionally offers bonus Fame or through custom challenges.
