Hold out until dawn

What you’re in for
Every night could be your last
02
Board it up
Walk into any building, nail boards over the doors and windows and hold the line. When it goes wrong, smash out through a window and run.
03
Build your defences
Walls, reinforced walls, gates only you can open, spike traps and torches. Drag to lay a whole line; a ghost shows exactly where each piece goes.
04
Scavenge and hold the camp
In Explore, search a fresh town every game for food, guns and planks by day, then hold your campfire through the night siege.
05
Bosses every fifth wave
Walkers, axe throwers, acid spitters and brutes that smash walls, and every fifth wave a boss with thousands of health walks in. Bring a magnum.
06
Every phone is a controller
Twin sticks, big buttons and haptics on the phone in your pocket. Couch co-op without buying a single gamepad.
Light is life
Your flashlight won’t last forever
After dark your flashlight burns through its battery. Scavenge batteries from the fallen or buy them between waves. Fire a sky flare to light up a whole street for forty seconds, throw a flashbang to freeze a horde in its tracks, and plant torches to lure them away from your door.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is The Last Flare free?
Yes. The whole game is free to play in your browser: every mode, map and weapon. An optional OMEN Foundation account keeps your level on every device and puts your best runs on the world leaderboards.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser on a computer, a TV with a browser, a tablet or a phone. Open the page and play; there is nothing to install for you or your friends.
How many players can play together?
Up to 8 players in one game. Mix keyboard and mouse, a second keyboard player, gamepads and phones on the same screen, or play online with friends on their own screens.
How do phones work as controllers?
Start a game on a computer or TV and a QR code appears in the lobby. Friends scan it with their phone camera and their phone becomes a twin-stick gamepad: move, aim, shoot, reload, throw, build. No app needed.
Can I play alone?
Yes. Every mode works solo, and the waves scale with the number of players, so a lone survivor faces a smaller horde than a full team.
What devices does it run on?
Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iPhone, iPad and Android, in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. A phone can host a game on its own screen too.
Do I need an account?
No. Play as a guest and your progress is saved on that device. Sign in with OMEN if you want your level to follow you to other devices and to appear on the leaderboards.
