Survive a Million Monkeys Guides

Start your first run with a clear order: finish the tutorial, reach the lobby, choose an available class and gun, then join the horde fight. These Survive a Million Monkeys guides connect that first-session walkthrough with the longer-term survivor leaderboard goal, so you can learn the loop before chasing a score.

First time joiningFollow the tutorial-to-lobby sequence, prepare an available loadout and enter your first horde fight.

Ready for the first horde?

Build a repeatable first run before worrying about the leaderboard. The game asks you to choose a class, unlock guns and fight massive monkey hordes together with other survivors. That makes preparation and movement more useful early goals than buying an unfamiliar class simply because it appears high on a list. Learn what you can equip now, enter the fight and leave crowded positions while there is still a route out.

The survivor leaderboard is an in-game objective. Roblox popularity charts measure the experience rather than your individual run, and an editorial tier list measures recommendations rather than awarded points. The leaderboard article explains these distinctions without guessing a scoring formula. Use the beginner walkthrough for the first successful loop, then move to the specific system that caused trouble.

Guides questions

Is there a complete leaderboard scoring formula here?

No. The game identifies a survivor leaderboard goal, but its name does not establish a kills, time or waves formula. Read the live board labels before comparing results.

Do I need to buy a class before learning the game?

Begin with a class available to you. A later unlock gives another role; it is not a prerequisite for learning the tutorial, lobby and horde loop.
