Jinxed

Jinxed is one of the rounds in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. This round is a Team round and was first introduced in the beta version.

* ''Under special circumstances, such as Squads Show, Jinxed allows for less than the 40 player limit. The limit would be 2 instead.''

In-game descriptions

 * Objective
 * Don't get jinxed!


 * Description
 * The first team to get completely Jinxed are eliminated!

Standard version
Jinxed is a team game.

In Jinxed, the players are divided into two teams. The setting is a big arena, with lots of obstacles like swinging balls and rotating platforms. Jinxed means "unlucky, unfortunate", and when a player gets jinxed, a pink cloud visual effect appears around them. At the beginning, one person from each team is jinxed; the rest are not. The jinxed players must hunt the un-jinxed players, and jinx them by grabbing them. This will cause the team to lose a "point", but the jinxed player can now infect the "clean" people (rendering the act of being jinxed both a pro and con in itself). The first team to have every player jinxed loses and gets eliminated.

There is a hidden 5 minute timer, after which the game eliminates the team with less unjinxed players. Because of the nature of this map, this tends only to happen in contrived circumstances.

In exceptionally rare scenarios, if both teams manage to jinx the last player at the same time, both teams will be eliminated.

Overtime
Overtime cases are incredibly rare, but under exceptional or contrived circumstances they can happen.

If both teams are tied after 5 minutes, 15 extra seconds will be added. If after 15 seconds there is still a tie, 15 more seconds are added and this repeats until one team has the outright lowest score. (None of the 5 minute or 15 seconds timers are revealed.)

Alternate version
From the 2021-02-02 Season 3 mid season update:
 * The rotating platforms may be replaced with Blizzard Fans. These fans periodically switch on and off every 8 seconds.
 * Two punching gloves, which appear on the lowered level, can replace the swinging pendulums. These punch players upwards and stay raised for a while, blocking the passage for players in the lower areas temporarily.

Squads Show
Jinxed can appear as a Final in this mode, seeing two squads of 4 players each face off against each other. This is way below the normal player counts of the round in normal playlists.

Pursuer* Strategy
The aim of this strategy is to jinx as many people as possible. These players will immediately try to get jinxed and then run around, chasing other players. "Pursuers" may team up on the team with the most jinxed players and cause them to get eliminated.

Runner* Strategy
This strategy is to run from the Jinxed, and is the more common of the two. These players may or may not become a "Pursuer" after they become jinxed.

*These names are conjectural names and have not been somewhat uniformly agreed upon.
