Volleyfall is one of the levels in Fall Guys. It is a POINTS (or TEAM) level and was first introduced in Season 1.[2]
Course Description[]
Volleyfall is a POINTS game in solo-based shows or TEAM in squad-based shows, and divides players into two teams, into multiple isolated arenas. However, in solo-based shows, much like Button Bashers, Volleyfall splits the players into multiple isolated arenas where they will face off against a single opponent. These all feature individual volleyball-style courts. In Solos and Duos, only a single ball spawn on one side and the first ball will spawn above the yellow arena, with an indicator appearing on the floor to denote how close it is to the floor. In Squads and other squad-based special shows, the arena will be larger and two balls will spawn at each side.
As with traditional volleyball, hitting the ball so that it touches the floor of the player's opponent will earn the player a point; the ball then spawns in again. In Solos and Duos, compare to the spawn point of the previous ball, a new ball will always spawn in the opposite arena (e.g. If a ball spawn in the blue arena, the next ball will spawn in the yellow arena.) In Squads and other squad-based games, the spawn point of the next ball will rotating between two arenas.
Notably, the arena size is changed (via the use of invisible walls) depending on which mode Volleyfall is played in, with the default size being the version with invisible walls, and the larger size being the version without. The table below shows a quick comparison of the various changes.
| Show | Players on each side | Balls in play | Arena size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo playlists | 1 | 1 | Default |
| Duos Show | 2 | 1 | Default |
| Squads Show | 4 | 2 | Large |
Also like Button Bashers, (and any team games, if there is a tie) if any of the players are tied after 1:40, the round will go into overtime (for only players that are tied) until the next player(s) scores a point to break a tie. If for some reason no players score in overtime, which is essentially only possible if both players tied are extremely skilled, then after 5:25 minutes (1:40 plus 3:45 overtime), neither of the tied players qualify. Similarly to the Team version, in squad-based shows, if both teams are tied after 5:25 minutes, then BOTH teams are eliminated. In the case that your opponent(s) disconnect(s), you (and your teammates) will instantly qualify, even if the timer hasn't expired yet.
Team variant[]
When Volleyfall got introduced, it had two different round types. One of them was POINTS and the other one was TEAM. In the TEAM Variant, similar mechanics to the standard TEAM variant, and 
Fall Ball are used. If played with a squad on each team (e.g Standard Squads or Volleyfall Tournament (Squads)), the arena is larger, and has two volleyballs, instead of one. If played in Duos, it will have the small arena with one ball, but still will be tagged as TEAM. However, due to the arena being split, and there's no need for Team Colours, every player has their standard colour.
Strategy[]
- Never lose sight of the floor indicator of where the ball will land. Sometimes the ball itself will go off-screen, but the indicator is always visible.
- Be mindful of the wall. There is an invisible wall near the edge of both sides. It’s visible when the ball is hitting it.
- Try to hit the ball towards the wall on your opponent’s side. This will throw them off since it can bounce off the wall and change the ball’s course.
- Don’t panic if you hit it backward. The ball floats down slowly; there is still a chance of saving it.
- Don’t be afraid to hit the ball a few times on your side before you send it over.
- Never celebrate early. There are multiple ways to keep a ball up so your opponents can always save themselves.
- The general pitfalls of Squad modes Volleyfall are players on the same team trying to fight over the ball. It is easier to co-ordinate in pre-made squads by designating the better player(s) to hit the balls, and the other player(s) to cover the other areas of the arena to save a ball hit.
Known bugs[]
- No Opponent*
- As of unknown date: Some players/squads may end up with no opponent. When this happens, they will be eliminated at the end of the round.
- This appears to have been fixed; it is unknown as to when.
- Uneven Teams*
- As of Power Party Update: In Volleyfall's TEAM variant, there is a high chance, that the round will start at uneven teams, leaving one team to have the arena all to themselves and cheese a qualification.
- Volleyfall got vaulted as a Team game on 15 May 2024. However although Volleyfall returned as a Team level in Squads and Duos, this bug has still not to be fixed so far.
*This name is a conjectural name and has not been somewhat uniformly agreed upon.

Trivia[]
- In squad-based shows, the round is classified as a Team round despite being classified as an Hunt round in solo-based shows. This is also the first round to have multiple round types in different core shows (not counting Final variants of non-final rounds or vice versa).
- It's also the first round to slightly differ depending on the round type. In Solos, where it's a POINTS round, it has a small arena, with one single volleyball. In Squads, where it's a TEAM round however, it has a large arena, with two volleyballs, rather than only one.
- Volleyfall (in squad-based shows), is the last Team game to be added so far, however weekly vibe checks from the official Fall Guys Discord server revealed Team games are very likely to come to Creative.
- Surprisingly, Volleyfall is one of the rarest POINTS games to appear in Solos, but one of the most common TEAM games to appear in Squads and Duos.
- This is the third round to based off a real life sport, the others being Fall Ball and Basketfall; however, it’s the only one out of the three rounds to have more than one round types, since it's tagged as Hunt only in solo-based shows, and it's tagged as a Team round in squad-based shows.
- Since it's a TEAM round in Squads and Duos shows, Volleyfall can also appear as a FINAL round, much like other team games with two teams.
- In solo modes, it can only be a final in the Volleyfall Tournament (Solo) show.
- On 15 May 2024, Volleyfall got vaulted from Duos and Squads and as a TEAM game due to an exploitable bug. (See Known Bugs)
- It got unvaulted two weeks later on 29 May 2024.
