Abandoned school, same PETAPETA, new rules

Player facing PETAPETA on the abandoned school courtyard stairs

PETAPETA: School of Nightmares is Omochi Studio's school-set Roblox horror spin-off of the hotel PETAPETA. You spawn in an abandoned Japanese school, hunt symbol-matched keys, and open the courtyard gate while PETAPETA patrols the halls. Hide in lockers when the screen goes red. Cursed Shards fund a permanent skill tree and Archives lore. Read the getting started guide, controls, the full walkthrough, how to find keys, how to hide, Hard Mode, Super Hard, PvP, Archives, and Cursed Shards.

Quick start

Five steps from the lobby pad to your first clean escape.

  1. 1

    Join from the lobby pad

    Open [PETAPETA School of Nightmares on Roblox](https://www.roblox.com/games/110280222997707/PETAPETA-School-of-Nightmares) and step onto a red square. The getting started guide covers controls, stamina, and the first locker hide.

  2. 2

    Find symbol keys, then the gate

    Solo runs need three keys. Teams need more. Match the handle icon to the padlock. Use the Safe Room TV and the key locations guide instead of sprinting blind.

  3. 3

    Hide when the hallway turns red

    Footsteps, a reddening screen, then a scream means PETAPETA is committing. Duck into a locker. How to hide explains the timing window.

  4. 4

    Bank Cursed Shards into skills

    Escape with shards or keep only 20% if you die. Spend them on capacity, stun, and speed first — see the Cursed Shards guide and the skill planner.

  5. 5

    Unlock Hard Mode, then PvP

    Hard and Super Hard each cost 3,000 shards. After that, hop into PvP ranked and track September 2026 patches.

FAQ

Wiki FAQ

Quick answers for School of Nightmares players.

Is PETAPETA School of Nightmares a Roblox game?

Yes. Omochi Studio released it on Roblox on 7 October 2024. It is a school-set spin-off of the hotel PETAPETA experience, not a Steam title.

How many keys do I need to escape?

Solo, three keys open the courtyard gate. Extra players add extra padlocks. Each key only fits the lock whose symbol matches the handle. Details live in how to find keys.

Are there working promo codes?

As of September 2026 Omochi Studio has not published active Twitter-style promo codes for School of Nightmares. In-run locker puzzles are not redeemable codes. Recheck the codes hub after events.

Which languages are supported?

This wiki supports: English, Français, Deutsch, Español, Português (BR). Configure locales in site.meta.json and run npm run generate:i18n.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. The experience supports online co-op in the school and a separate PvP ranked queue where one side plays as PETAPETA. See PvP and the players hub.

What should I upgrade first?

Raise shard capacity, then stun, then speed. Unlock Hard Mode only after you can consistently extract. The tier list and skill planner rank the tree.
