What is Lurking Giants?
Something is lurking in the TV
Lurking Giants is an asymmetrical analog-horror experience on Roblox by ULTRA works, and this Lurking Giants wiki maps every part of it. Each round of Lurking Giants, one player becomes a towering giant that crawls out of a television; everyone else spawns as survivors with nothing but a lantern and the dark. There is no fighting back — surviving Lurking Giants is about sound, nerve and knowing exactly when to move.
The whole match is a single night. The clock opens at 12:00 AM and your only job is to still be breathing when it reaches 6:00 AM. What makes Lurking Giants tense is the visibility pulse: at the top of every hour the giant sees every survivor through their cover, so a good hiding spot is only ever good for sixty seconds. This Lurking Giants wiki breaks down that night cycle, the two maps, both playable giants and the honest state of Lurking Giants codes — everything a new player needs to survive their first night.

The defining mechanic
The night cycle
Every match runs on the same clock. Five visibility pulses stand between you and sunrise — miss a single relocation and the giant is on you. Learn the rhythm and a chaotic horror game becomes a puzzle you can beat.
Read the full breakdown →- 12:00 AM Night falls
The round begins. The giant spawns from its television and survivors receive a lantern and flashlight.
- 1:00 AM First pulse
Every survivor is highlighted for the giant for a few seconds. Cover does not hide you during a pulse — you must already be moving to your next spot.
- 2:00 AM Second pulse
Another highlight. The early game is over; the giant now has two reads on where people cluster.
- 3:00 AM Third pulse
The midpoint. Giants start camping the chokepoints they learned from the first two pulses.
- 4:00 AM Fourth pulse
Survivor numbers usually thin here. Space out — a highlighted group is a free multi-kill.
- 5:00 AM Final pulse
The last highlight of the night. Survive this window and you are almost home.
- 6:00 AM Sunrise
No pulse. The sun rises and every living survivor wins the round.
