Unofficial guide to the Roblox experience
Say Cheese! [STORY] Every photo changes the story.
You are a journalist working for Big Media. Your photographs reshape a park of circles and squares: feed the panic, or look for a more hopeful outcome.
The original game is played on Roblox. This site provides guides and in-page walkthrough videos.

Choose your next branch
Use the written route steps and embedded video chapters to compare outcomes.
Choose your next route
Start with short, self-contained routes to learn framing. Then explore story branches; save timing-sensitive routes for when you know the park. This is our suggested learning order, not a game requirement.

Keep the intended subject in the frame and watch the broadcast before shooting again. Who you include — and who you leave out — can change the route.
Learn the shared opening →Recognize the subjects before choosing a route
These subject cues come from the linked community walkthroughs. Use them to identify what belongs in the frame; they are not guaranteed spawn coordinates.
- Hatman and hat wearers
- Hats appear in the opening and return during late branches. An opening hat photo is not the same decision as the timed late Hat route.
- The frightened character
- For Scared, isolate the fearful person. Including the square that frightened them can keep the shared conflict chain moving instead.
- Couples and protesters
- Distinguish a peace placard from a heart-shaped hat. Community accounts associate them with different hopeful routes; a kind-looking scene alone does not identify the ending.
- The suited payer
- The money route follows a payment exchange and then its payer. Watch early events rather than assuming every ending requires the park to become fully hostile.

Before you play
Can I play the Roblox game directly on this site?+
Play the original through its official Roblox page. This website offers written guides and embedded videos; the separate cheese puzzle is our own browser game.
Is this the same as the mouse-and-cheese board game?+
No. Mechanical Boy LLC’s Roblox photography story and Project Genius’s physical rolling-mice puzzle are unrelated products. The tabletop rules have their own page.
Where are the working codes?+
We have not obtained a developer-confirmed active code list for this guide. Do not use another game’s door codes or random strings. Follow official announcements; no purchase or code is required for our separate browser puzzles.
Before restarting, diagnose the photo+
Ask which subject actually filled the frame. A TV with a passerby, a fear portrait with the aggressor, or a photograph taken before a reaction can tell a different story. Watch the broadcast feedback, compare the linked chapter, and restart with one target if the sequence has drifted. Mark your checklist only after the in-game ending confirms.
Are these all the current endings, including secrets?+
This guide covers the 12 routes in the cited chaptered video. New secret-ending claims are not treated as confirmed additions here. Check the current in-game collection menu and developer information for the latest total.
Sources and scope
These 12 names and timestamps come from Roblox Master Guides’ video description. We verified the published chapter list, not each in-game trigger. The list is not a developer-confirmed count or a claim of the current version.
