Scary Baboon Reimagined — Survive the Lab
A Roblox survival-horror remake of the VR game Scary Baboon: you're loose in an abandoned research lab, scavenging scrap while the baboon hunts. The October Mimic update pushed player counts up 275% in a week.
How a run works
- 1Scavenge the lab
Move through the abandoned facility collecting scrap and supplies — the point of every run.
- 2Track the baboon
The creature patrols the lab — sound and sightlines matter more than speed.
- 3Hide, don't fight
There's no winning a straight encounter — breaking line of sight and staying quiet is the survival mechanic.
- 4Escape with the haul
Getting out with your scrap is the win condition — greed is what gets players caught.
Survival tips
Learn the patrol rhythm
The baboon's route is learnable — scavenge the rooms behind it, not ahead of it.
Scrap routes matter
Plan a loop that ends near the exit; crossing the lab loaded down is the usual death.
The Mimic update changed the map
The late-October update reworked areas and added the Mimic threat — old route guides are partially stale.
Quieter is faster
Sprinting everywhere draws the baboon more often than it saves time.
