As the night progresses, the threat level increases, making it increasingly difficult to survive until the morning.

Beginners may face some trouble surviving their first few nights, but they can prepare for the chilling night ahead by reading this guide. This article provides a few tips and tricks that may be the difference between survival and death in this Roblox experience.

In Close Your Eyes, you are trapped in a house where your avatar hallucinates various monsters. Since the demon causing these hallucinations can’t affect you in the morning, your task is to survive until sunrise. Of course, surviving six in-game hours is no easy task. This is particularly true since each passing hour takes the difficulty up a notch.

The most fundamental thing to remember about this game is to use the F key to close and reopen your eyes. Doing so makes the monster before you disappear, giving you a chance to catch your breath and continue your task.

However, if you repeatedly press the button to close and open your eyes, it will not have any effect. The monster will nab you, ending the game and sending you back to the lobby. So, the best way to do so is to wait a moment after closing your eyes and then reopening them with the button.

Additionally, the monsters have unique properties that make them equally threatening. These traits must be kept in mind while playing the game to understand how to tackle them properly.

Here’s a table of the monster abilities to be mindful of and how to deal with them.

Monster	Unique Ability	Workaround
Blinker	Fastest enemy in the game; can approach from any direction and blends into the dark	Press F as soon as you spot it
Granpa	Continuously closing and opening your eyes won’t make it disappear	Close your eyes momentarily, but reopen them before the monster nabs you
Hunter	Utilizes blindspots and doors to pounce as you pass by these areas	Spot it and close your eyes before it gets you
Scream	Screams while spawning behind your back and runs at you	Turn around and press F to make it disappear
Teddy	Small and difficult to notice; moves around quietly	Turn up your volume to hear it coming

Over the course of the night, the house will run into a few issues, like fluctuating power. If ignored, you will be caught off-guard by the power turning off and the monsters pouncing when you least expect it. The game does this so you can’t simply sit in a corner upstairs and wait until the morning.

The tips listed above should help you avoid monsters, but it will not be easy to go through alone. We recommend playing with at least one other player to avoid being caught by a monster while you are not looking.

It is also advisable to keep your game volume reasonably high to hear the monsters come. Not only does this serve a utility purpose, but it also makes the game more immersive.
