Clown is Hungry is a twisted survival puzzle game set in a carnival gone wrong. Players control a small group of characters trapped in a looping funhouse, each stalked by a monstrous clown driven by hunger. Your task is to collect food items to distract the clown and reach the exit — but the more food you take, the more aggressive it becomes.

Manage Distraction or Become the Snack

This game revolves around risk and reward. Players need to gather sweets, snacks, and other edible props while avoiding line-of-sight detection from the clown. Some food slows him down. Others enrage him. The challenge is figuring out which items help or harm your progress through trial and error, and applying this in increasingly chaotic maps.

  • Decoy food placements to mislead the clown
  • Collectibles with variable effects (speed, stun, attract)
  • Timed exits that open only if specific food is gathered

Maze-Like Level Designs

Levels in Clown is Hungry are designed like rotating mazes. Walls move, attractions spring open, and mirrors distort your view. You must use both auditory clues and map memory to survive. Later stages introduce clone clowns, double mazes, and fake exits to increase tension and confusion. There’s also a hunger meter tied to your own stamina — stop moving for too long, and you’ll be the snack instead.

Unlocks and Chaos Enhancers

As you survive longer, you unlock power-ups such as temporary cloaking, reverse maze view, or panic buttons that shut down entire rooms. Players who complete clown challenges with all food collected unlock additional characters with unique passive skills.

  • Jester mode — flips the map upside down
  • Clown rage meter — the longer you’re seen, the faster he moves
  • Costume unlocks that impact movement speed or detection

Clown is Hungry combines puzzle-solving, stealth, and panic in one surreal carnival of fear. With reactive environments and unpredictable clown behavior, each attempt at escape feels different, forcing you to adapt strategies while constantly managing risk.
