Funnel Runners Wiki
Your complete guide to Funnel Runners — the first-person co-op survival game where up to 8 players scavenge a collapsing city, repair a broken van, and escape before an EF5 tornado arrives.
What Is Funnel Runners?
Funnel Runners is a first-person co-op survival game by Supernova Studios LLC. You deploy as a contractor for APEX Storm Monitoring Services into a procedurally generated suburban city. An EF5 tornado is approaching, and you have roughly twenty minutes to loot tools, fix your van, and drive away.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game features total environmental destruction — buildings collapse piece by piece, loot disappears from destroyed zones, and wind can sweep careless players away. Early Access ships with 3 map variations, 15 weather types, 6 van repair parts, 6 gadgets, and 6 consumables — all randomized each run.

Core Gameplay Loop
Each run follows a tight extraction loop: identify van problems, scavenge required tools across the map, complete reaction minigames to install parts, and escape before the final tornado. Delay is punished — destroyed buildings permanently remove loot opportunities.
- Scavenge suburban houses, parks, and gas stations
- Repair tires, fuses, battery, fuel, and more
- Survive escalating F1 through EF5 tornadoes
- Escape in your van before the storm ends the run
