How to Play The Ditch Hotel With Friends (Elevator Guide)
Servers hold up to 16 players and each elevator ride carries up to 4 friends. Here is how to team up the right way.
The Ditch Hotel by Jayqui Studios launched on October 31, 2026, and it was built with group play in mind. Facing the hotel's visitors alone is scary; facing them with three friends on voice chat is something else entirely. This guide covers everything you need to know before you bring your group in.
The Two Limits You Need to Know
- Servers hold up to 16 players, so there is room for your friends alongside other guests.
- The elevator carries up to 4 friends per ride. That is the core group size for a run through the hotel.
Plan your group around those numbers: the lobby can hold a full server, but the elevator is where your squad of up to 4 stays together.
How to Get Everyone Into the Same Game
- Make sure everyone in your group is friends with each other on Roblox.
- One player opens The Ditch Hotel and joins a server.
- Everyone else joins through the Roblox friends list.
- Meet at the elevator and group up before you head up.
If the server fills up, split into two smaller squads or wait for a spot together.
Pick Your Difficulty as a Group
The Ditch Hotel has four difficulty modes: Easy, Hard, Difficult, and IMPOSSIBLE. Newer players should start on Easy to learn the hotel's rhythm, while a confident group can jump straight into Hard or Difficult. IMPOSSIBLE is best saved for groups that already know the layout well.
Know the Visitors Before the Doors Open
Six characters can come knocking: Grandma, BIG EARL, Bruiser the Dog, Military Guy, Screaming Dad, and The Gunman. Each one behaves differently, and part of the fun of a group run is calling out who is at the door. Our full character guide breaks down every visitor.
You will also choose from 9 knock styles, which is how you answer the door. Agreeing on a style with friends is half the fun.
Group Survival Tips
- Communicate constantly. Say who is answering the door, who is hiding, and what you hear on the other side.
- Use the linen lockers. When a visit goes wrong, the closets are your safest hiding spot.
- Stock up first. Redeem the latest codes for free Cash and buy Gift Shop upgrades before a Hard or IMPOSSIBLE group run.
- Agree on roles in advance. Decide who answers the door and who stays ready to hide.
