Don't Split Up, Gang
Don't Split Up, Gang — Survival Through Unity
Don't Split Up, Gang transforms the classic horror movie trope into a strategic puzzle experience. You and your friends (plus Dubert the dog) have accidentally stumbled into a zombie-infested neighborhood while preparing for a party. Now you must navigate through a creepy mansion, collect fuel for your escape vehicle, and most importantly — stay together. Because in zombie territory, splitting up means becoming an easy meal.
🧟 What is Don't Split Up, Gang?
Don't Split Up, Gang is a turn-based puzzle game that combines strategic movement with survival horror elements. You control a group of characters who must move through rooms filled with zombies, obstacles, and objectives. The core mechanic revolves around keeping your team unified — if anyone gets separated from the group, they become vulnerable to zombie attacks.
The game cleverly subverts the "let's split up" cliché from horror movies by making group cohesion your primary survival strategy. Every move requires careful planning: Can you navigate through this corridor without leaving anyone behind? Will opening that door expose a team member to zombie danger? Don't Split Up, Gang rewards thoughtful strategy over reckless action.
🎮 How to Play Don't Split Up, Gang

Core Gameplay Mechanics
Understanding Don't Split Up, Gang requires grasping several interconnected systems: Group Movement – You don't move everyone simultaneously. Instead, you select individual characters and move them one at a time. This creates puzzle scenarios where the order of movement matters critically. Proximity Rules – Characters must stay within a certain distance of each other. If someone wanders too far from the group, they're considered "split up" and vulnerable. Zombie Threats – Zombies patrol certain areas or react to your movements. A character alone is easy prey; a character with the group is protected. Fuel Collection – Scattered throughout the mansion are fuel cans needed to power your escape vehicle. You must collect all fuel while navigating zombie encounters. Strategic Positioning – Some rooms require one character to hold a position (like keeping a door open) while others move through, testing your coordination skills.
🏚️ Don't Split Up, Gang Gameplay Walkthrough
🚪 Stage 1 – First Encounters
When you begin Don't Split Up, Gang, you'll start in a relatively safe room with your full team. The early levels teach you the fundamental mechanics: how to select characters, how to move them, and how proximity rules work. Try moving one character forward while leaving others behind. Notice how a warning indicator appears when someone gets too far from the group. This visual feedback teaches you the invisible "tether" connecting your team. In Don't Split Up, Gang, that tether is your lifeline.
🧩 Stage 2 – Zombie Navigation
As you progress through Don't Split Up, Gang, zombies enter the picture. These shambling threats occupy certain tiles and patrol specific routes. If an isolated character ends their turn adjacent to a zombie, they're in danger. The puzzle becomes spatial: how do you move your team through zombie-occupied corridors without anyone getting separated? Sometimes you need to move the lead character forward to scout, then quickly bring the rest of the group up to maintain cohesion. Other times, you'll move everyone in a coordinated shuffle, maintaining formation while navigating threats.
⛽ Stage 3 – Fuel Collection Puzzles
The mansion in Don't Split Up, Gang contains multiple fuel cans scattered across different rooms. Your objective isn't just to survive — you must collect every fuel can to power your escape. This objective layer adds complexity. You can't simply find the shortest path to the exit; you must explore every corner of the mansion while managing zombie threats and group cohesion. Some fuel cans are placed in particularly dangerous locations, requiring you to solve mini-puzzles just to retrieve them safely.
🏃 Stage 4 – The Escape
After collecting all fuel and navigating the entire mansion, Don't Split Up, Gang presents its final challenge: getting everyone to the exit together. The end rooms often feature the most zombies and the tightest spaces. This finale tests everything you've learned about group movement, strategic positioning, and zombie avoidance. One wrong move can strand a character, forcing a restart. But when you successfully guide every team member (including Dubert!) to safety, the satisfaction is immense.
