What happens when someone writes Earthquake?
- We have not recorded an EARTHQUAKE in our matches yet; this page uses the Mastery text.
- Buildings fall during a quake and can land on players (“Survive 4 falling buildings”).
- Mastered Earthquake lets you draw the crack’s path, fills it with glowing lava and makes island chunks fall away.
What the game tells us about Earthquake
EARTHQUAKE has not shown up in our recorded matches yet. Its Mastery quests describe it clearly: buildings fall during a quake, they can land on players, and the quake is dangerous enough late in a match that surviving 4 of them with 6 or fewer players alive is a quest. “Knock down 26 buildings” is the largest number in any Mastery quest, so an earthquake clearly brings down a lot of buildings. That makes it the natural answer when other players are hiding inside bunkers, houses or the haunted mansion.
How do you survive Earthquake?
- Get away from buildings and tall structures.
- Falling buildings are the danger, so stay clear of anything tall.
- Gravity Coil lets you float down slowly if the ground drops away.
Common mistakes
- Staying inside a building during the shaking.
- Standing next to a tall structure.

How disasters words work
Disaster words change the map itself: a roaming tornado, a closing zone, lava that turned our sky red, earthquakes and black holes. Many of them last the whole match, so a disaster written in the first minute is still a problem in the final duel. Height, shelter and speed items matter most, and BUNKER or HOUSE give you a roof when you need one.
See every Disasters word we have checked on the word list.
Should you write Earthquake yourself?
- Write it when players are hiding on or in buildings, for example after BUNKER, HOUSE or MANSION.

Earthquake with other words
Words stack, so what else is on the map matters:
- Mansion Players inside a building are the ones a quake hurts most.
