How to Create Custom Rooms
Create from the Room on the Home Screen
Custom rooms can be created from the "Room" button on the home screen. Once on the room list screen, press "Create Room" in the bottom right.
Fill in the Required Information
You can create a room by pressing "Create Room" and filling in the necessary information. Note that the game mode cannot be changed after the room is created. Only the game type for custom rooms can be changed later.
Required Information for Custom Room Creation

Various Ways to Play with Advanced Settings!
In the "Advanced" section, you can adjust the frequency of supply drops, the types of weapons available, and more. This allows for various ways to play, such as matches with only melee weapons.
Creation May Not Be Possible Depending on Server Status
Servers have a room limit, so if the limit is reached, no more rooms can be created. Try creating a custom room again after some time.
50vs50 Mode
In custom rooms, you can play in 50vs50 mode, separate from regular practice matches. Within 50vs50, there are two modes: Guardian mode and Duel mode. These require completely different strategies than usual.
How to Create Timed Rooms
What is a Timed Room?
A timed room is a room that is automatically created at a specified time. The room is created 30 minutes before the designated time. Similar to regular rooms, the creator can set a password and rules.
Select Timed Room from the Room Screen
Once you open the room screen, tap on "Timed Room" on the left side.
Set Time and Rules to Create
After setting the rules and map just like a regular room, set the time for the room to be created. From June 13, 2024 (Thu), you will be able to set it for a period up to six months in the future.
How to Form Multiplayer Teams
Anyone Can Form a Team
While private rooms are restricted, it's possible to form a team and challenge public servers. If practicing alone feels daunting, team up with friends to practice and gain real combat experience.
How to Form a Team
Step 1: Send a Friend Request to Your Friends
To team up with specific members, friend registration is required. You can send a friend request from the person-shaped icon at the top of the lobby screen. Then, tap "Add" and search for their name to send a request.
Step 2: Decide on the Mode
After your friends accept your friend request, tap "Normal Battle" or "Leisure" to enter the team formation screen.
Step 3: Invite Friends
Once you've decided on the mode, invite friends from the + button on the team formation screen. The host should send the invitations, so if your friends are gathering people, wait for their requests.
Step 4: Take on Team Battles
Team battles, where you report to and cover each other, are a key part of Knives Out. Having teammates increases what you can do and what you need to be careful about. Players who haven't played many team battles should check the article below!
Points to Note When Forming a Team
If Fixing Members, Disable Auto-Match
"Auto-match," displayed above the matchmaking start button, will allow others to join your party if checked when starting. If you want to play only with friends, uncheck auto-match before starting matchmaking.
Multi-Dive Feature
Team battles feature a multi-dive function. Multi-dive allows the team to parachute dive together, enabling everyone to land at the same spot, which increases survival rates compared to landing separately.
For Efficient Play, Set Up Voice Chat
When playing with friends, it's convenient to have voice chat activated. If you're not sure how voice chat works, check how to use it beforehand.
