Quick answer

Normal mode is classic hide-and-seek. Increasing Oni turns caught Hiders into Seekers, which helps larger groups. Double lets teams alternate roles so everyone gets time hiding and searching.

Mode comparison

Normal mode is the clean baseline: Hiders survive, Seekers find. Use it when introducing new players because the objective is instantly clear.

Increasing Oni adds momentum. Every catch increases Seeker pressure, so the final minute can collapse fast. Double is the fairest option for balanced groups because both sides play both roles.

Which mode should you choose?

If your group is new, start Normal. If your group already knows the maps and rounds drag too long, switch to Increasing Oni. If people argue that one side is easier, play Double.

The right mode is the one that keeps the next round starting quickly.
