Paint, strip and haul against the clock
Each job drops you in an apartment with a blueprint and a timer. You grab paint, tear off old wallpaper, clean up mess and shove bulky furniture where it belongs, splitting tasks so nobody wastes steps. Floors change theme as you climb the building, with new layouts and renovation chores to keep the routine fresh. Controls stay simple, so even non-gamers can pick up a roller. At four players it gets properly chaotic, with bodies, buckets and couches all fighting for the same doorway.
What should you know before you play?
Can you play it solo?
Yes, there is a single-player mode, but it is built for a crew. Solo you do all the running, painting and hauling yourself, which makes large apartments slow going. Bring at least one friend for the game at its best.
How long is the campaign?
Short enough for a few evenings: one run takes around six hours if you are not chasing perfect scores. Replaying for the highest grade adds challenge, and there are DLC packs that add more levels and variety.
Is it hard to learn?
No. The jobs are easy to grasp — paint this, strip that, move this couch — and the difficulty comes from the timer, tight rooms and bad coordination. Passing a level is usually doable after a couple of tries; perfect scores take real planning.
