How to play Vacuum.io

Move around the arena and suck up objects. Small things first, then bigger ones as your vacuum grows. A larger vacuum can take on bigger items and push rivals around. Rounds are timed, and the leaderboard shows who is in the lead. Plan a route that keeps you collecting without running into bigger rivals.

In your first round, head away from other players toward areas full of small objects such as cups, books and toys. Collect as much as you can to grow quickly, then gradually move to areas with larger items. Watch the leaderboard to see how you compare with the other vacuums, and avoid rivals who are bigger than you until you have grown enough to compete.

Rounds and the leaderboard

Each round is timed, and the goal is to be the biggest vacuum when the timer ends. You start small and can only collect small objects, then gradually grow large enough for bigger items and furniture. A larger vacuum can also push rivals around, which gives you more control over the arena. The leaderboard shows who is in the lead at any moment, so you can see how far you have to go. Because rounds are short, every decision matters: choosing the right area to collect in, and avoiding rivals who are bigger than you, can decide the result.

Growing fast

A good start makes all the difference. Head for areas full of small objects and avoid crowded spots where rivals compete for the same items. Once you are bigger, sweep through areas with larger furniture and objects to climb the leaderboard quickly.

Common beginner mistakes

Heading for crowded areas at the start.
