How to play Banana Eats on Roblox
Banana Eats is one Banana against up to nine Runners. The server cap is 10. Escape mode, the default, runs on a 6:00 clock. Banana is locked for the first 15 seconds. Runners start with 3 hearts. A bite removes one heart, then gives a short burst of invincibility and speed. At zero hearts the Runner is eaten and the clock gains 15 seconds.
Puzzles and the last minute
A normal map has 4 or 5 puzzles. A normal puzzle cuts 30 seconds. The cake puzzle cuts 60 seconds. Eight cake slices spawn and one is already on the plate, so you need seven more. The code puzzle uses digits 1–7. The valve puzzle is three valves. The image puzzle is 16 tiles. At 1:00 the exits open, every Runner drops to 1 heart, and Banana can see everyone and down them in one hit. Standard maps have two exits. Locker counts are not published, so I am not filling that column.
Beacon, crouch, and peels
- The beacon on a Runner’s back stays light when Banana is far, then darkens and pulses as Banana gets closer. The screen shakes at very close range. Beacon Breaker and Ghost Breaker turn it off.
- Ctrl toggles a crawl. Vents are for Runners. Shift is Shiftlock. Xbox and PlayStation button names are not in the public guides I used.
- Ghostly Peel (level 8, 16 uses, 6 seconds, hard to see) is the community pick for a best peel. Happy Peel at level 64 adds coins. Big and Small peels are called inefficient on the bananaeats.wiki peel guide.
X-Ray’s stun is 4 seconds on the Namu peel page and 6 seconds on bananaeats.wiki. I am leaving both numbers. The rest of the unlock ladder, from Banana’s Peel at 16 uses / 6 seconds up through Ghost X-Ray at level 60, is on that same peel guide if you want every row.
Four modes
| Mode | Clock | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Escape | 6:00 | Exits at 1:00. Default rules above. |
| Locker-Less | 6:00 | No lockers, Runners have 1 heart, Banana is slower, exits still open at 1:00. |
| Banana Split | 5:00 | Two Bananas, no peels, no exits. |
| Infection | 5:00 | One bite infects. More infected players slow Banana. No exits. |
Map-by-map puzzle counts are on maps. Ranks, which do not change these rules, are on ranks. Private practice is on private servers.
