How co-op works
Two players tackle the Story campaign locally or online. Each level requires partners to jump, push, pull, throw one another, operate blocks, collect gems, and reach the exit; the separate four-player Arena offers competitive and team-based mini-games.
About this game
Escape a theater of traps with one partner in a two-player cooperative campaign, locally or online.

BattleBlock Theater combines precise jumps with mechanisms and obstacles that reward helping a teammate. Throw your partner toward a ledge, trigger a switch at the right moment and coordinate movement through hazardous rooms. The cooperative Story campaign is for two players, giving each person a clear part in getting the pair to the exit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play the whole campaign in co-op?
Yes, the entire story campaign is designed for two-player co-op, either locally via split-screen or online. You can also play it solo, but many puzzles are built around teamwork and coordination.
Does this game require good communication with my co-op partner?
Absolutely. BattleBlock Theater is built around timing and coordination-you'll need to communicate to trigger switches together, toss each other across gaps, and navigate traps in sync. Expect plenty of chaotic moments that turn into shared laughs.
How many players can play together?
The co-op campaign supports two players. Competitive arena modes support up to four players and include various mutators for chaotic versus matches.
Can I play couch co-op or is it online only?
You can do both. BattleBlock Theater supports local split-screen co-op on the same screen as well as online co-op, so you can team up with a friend however you prefer.
