Decide before the run whether you are practicing survival or pursuing the escape. That choice changes what information matters: survival play rewards learning space and recovery routes, while an objective attempt requires attention to interactable clues and the current in-game state.
The official evidence confirms that escaping Lighthouse is a real Michael's Zombies objective. It does not, by itself, establish every step seen in historical videos or community posts. Those sources can explain player vocabulary, but tactics are labelled as historical until they are rechecked against the current 2.1.0 experience.
Use the beginner guide if controls or basic round flow are still the blocker. Use the Easter egg hub for spoiler-controlled objective research. During a live run, treat any changed prompt, missing interaction or unavailable route as a version warning—not as proof that a guessed hidden prerequisite exists.
