Parents [HORROR] Tier List: What Can Be Ranked Safely?
A real exact-perk tier list is not ready for publication. This methodology answer instead groups four evidence-supported use cases—route learning, co-op, hiding recovery, and Hard Mode—with visible confidence and a checked date.
Use an easier visible mode to learn the route, co-op when you want help dividing work, hiding interactions to recover during pursuit, and Hard Mode only after you know the objective flow. Exact perk tiers remain unranked.
Route-learning run
Best for learning the objective order. Community gameplay shows an Easy School run and changing HUD objectives, but the full difficulty selector and reward differences are not publicly documented.
Co-op approach
Best when you want help completing the escape. The official game description recommends playing with others, while exact optimal team size and objective-sharing rules remain unclaimed.
Closet or shower recovery
Best treated as a pursuit reset. Official badge names confirm both hiding interactions; they do not prove guaranteed safety, detection rules, or cooldowns.
Hard Mode challenge
Best for repeat players who already understand the route. Official badges confirm Hard Mode wins, but exact modifiers, reward scaling, and unlock requirements are still held.
Exact perk ranking
Coins and perks exist, but a complete current catalog with comparable effects was not available. Publishing S/A/B perk tiers now would be guesswork.
