Common Run Types in Lobby Chat

Before you even step into that elevator, you’ll encounter various run types in lobby chat. Understanding these is crucial for joining the right kind of matches for your skill level and goals.

Main Run Types Explained

Main Hunt: This is probably the most common term you’ll see. A Main Hunt focuses specifically on researching Main character Twisteds (Astro, Pebble, Shelly, Sprout, Vee). These special characters require 100% research to unlock, unlike regular toons. Players doing Main Hunts are typically more experienced and focused on progression.

Main Run: Don’t confuse this with Main Hunt! A Main Run refers to a team composed entirely of Main characters only. This is different from hunting them – here, you’re playing as them. Many new players mix these up, so now you know the difference!

Dandy Run: This is a special challenge run where players agree NOT to buy anything from Dandy’s shop for three consecutive floors. The goal? To spawn Twisted Dandy for research. It’s risky but rewarding for dedicated players looking to complete their collection.

Normal Run: Your standard, casual run with no special rules or objectives. Perfect for beginners or when you just want to play without pressure.

Special Challenge Runs

As you advance in Dandy’s World, you’ll encounter more specialized run types:

Pro Run: These are high-level runs with pre-determined roles and strategies. Usually organized through Discord or external platforms, Pro Runs require significant skill and coordination.

Long Run: The objective here is simple – survive as many floors as possible. These runs test your endurance and skill to the absolute limit.

Nightmare Run: This is a unique challenge where if you encounter your Twisted counterpart on any floor, you must stand completely still for that entire floor. It’s terrifying but incredibly fun!

Death Run/Grief Run/Battle Royale: These are competitive runs where players actively try to eliminate each other. The last survivor wins. Note that actual griefing (intentionally leading Twisteds to teammates) is against the rules and can get you banned, but these runs are consensual competitions.

Theme-Based Fun Runs

The Dandy’s World community loves creative, themed runs:

Starter Only Run: Only using Poppy or Boxten, the starting characters. Great for testing your skills with basic toons!

Food Run: Everyone uses food-themed characters like Shrimpo or Sprout. These runs are just for fun and creativity.

Event Run: Using only characters from specific events, like Christmas or Halloween events.

Army Run: Everyone uses the exact same toon – imagine four Pebbles running around!

Guard Dog Run: A specialized strategy where Pebbles act as distractions for the team.

Color Run: All toons share the same color scheme for visual coordination.

Family Run: Using toons that are connected in lore or community perception (like characters that work well together).

Progress & Floor Acronyms

When joining skilled groups, you’ll often see these acronyms in lobby descriptions:

FF – Furthest Floor: The highest floor you’ve personally reached in Dandy’s World.

HF – Highest Floor: Same as FF, just a different abbreviation some players prefer.

FS – Floors Survived: How many floors you’ve successfully completed in your current run.

These acronyms help experienced players quickly assess if you’re ready for high-level content. Don’t be discouraged if your numbers are low – everyone starts somewhere!
