PROP HUNT IN IKEA! (Teardown)

Prop Hunt in IKEA (Teardown)

What the video is

A multiplayer Prop Hunt match played in Teardown on a massive, fully destructible IKEA-style map. Hunters try to find and eliminate disguised props while props attempt to blend in and survive using the environment, movement, and misdirection.

Storyline / setup

• The group drops into an enormous IKEA-styled map featuring furniture displays, returns, a parking garage, a dog park, and outdoor areas.
• Props hide among displays such as lamps, boxes, monitors, trucks, and cars. Hunters use weapons, taunts, and environmental destruction to expose props.
• Teardown’s destructible physics lead to blowing holes through walls, setting fires, and sometimes unintentionally (or intentionally) wrecking large parts of the map.

Gameplay highlights

• The map is huge and fully destructible — players dig through walls, create new paths, and can escape into unexpected areas (parking garage, outside/backrooms).
• Funny/chaotic interactions include:
  • Camera wonkiness when props are placed against walls.
  • Props getting run over (props can’t drive).
  • Players setting the building on fire and liberal use of explosives.
• Taunts and sound clues are used but can be misleading across players (meows, woofs, cow noises inconsistent).
• The map does not reset during the match — earlier destruction affects later hiding spots and visual navigation.
• Players discover creative hiding spots: rafters, returns desk, display lamps, boxes, computer monitors, parked cars — and sometimes hunters simply miss them.

Weapons, tools, and items used

• Pipe bombs — commonly used to open walls or force hiding props to move.
• Banana bombs — portrayed as stronger than pipe bombs (joke about potassium).
• Leaf blower — excellent for knocking over props or blowing lightweight items to expose hidden players.
• Energy drinks (speed), fire extinguisher, and general physical interactions with the environment.
• Vehicle bodies (cars/trucks) appear on the map and can be props, but props cannot drive them.

Strategies and key tips

For Hunters

1. Use explosives (pipe/banana bombs) and environmental destruction to flush out props or open new sightlines — but remember destruction can ruin information for later rounds.
2. Use the leaf blower to knock over objects and test whether something is a movable prop.
3. Listen for taunts and sound clues, but treat them cautiously — sounds may be misleading or different between players.
4. Watch distance meters / radius hints when available and prioritize likely rooms (returns, living room displays, parking garage, rafters).
5. Check unexpected places: behind walls (players can dig through), rafters, outside entrances, and parking areas.
6. Coordinate with teammates — callouts and tracking last-seen movement are crucial on a huge map.

For Props

• Avoid being flush against walls where camera glitches can make you more detectable.
• Blend in with dense clutter and be prepared to move if explosives or leaf blowers are used nearby.
• Exploit the map’s size — hiding far away or in rarely checked sections (parking garage, outside) can buy time.
• If the map is already heavily damaged, hide among debris that matches the destruction to remain inconspicuous.

Notable quirks & lessons learned

• Taunt and audio hints have cooldowns and are not perfectly reliable; the meter/radius hint appears tied to taunts and has a cooldown (roughly ~1 minute, as guessed in-game).
• Destruction can make the map harder to read; what you break to expose someone might make future hunts more difficult.
• Teardown physics enable unusual escapes, such as digging through walls to reach outside areas or creating novel hiding spots.
