Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do you get the 2 new secret endings in the Roblox Say Cheese October 31 update?
The October 31 update added two secret endings: Ending 11 (The Negative Dimension) and Ending 12 (The Eternal Smile Loop). To unlock Ending 11, locate the Crimson Safe-Light Bulb in the ventilation pipe behind the boiler, swap it into the darkroom ceiling socket, and photograph the chemical bath at exactly 3:33 AM on the grandfather clock. For Ending 12, feed 7 glowing cheese wheels scattered throughout the new annex to the darkroom mouse to receive the Golden Film Roll, then photograph the Final Boss at the exact microsecond he speaks the word 'Cheese!'.
Q: What are the rules and win condition for the Player 1: SAY CHEESE board game?
In Project Genius's 'Player 1: SAY CHEESE!' logic puzzle, you have a 3x3 grid with a fixed cheese block in the center and 7 rectangular mice blocks. Each mouse block has a red tail on one side and a mouse snout on the other. You roll the blocks in four directions (Up, Down, Left, Right) into adjacent empty spaces. The objective is to roll all mice from their starting 'Tails-Up' positions until all 7 blocks have their 'Snouts-Up' in the minimum number of moves.
Q: How many total endings exist in Roblox Say Cheese! [STORY]?
There are currently 12 distinct endings in Roblox Say Cheese! [STORY]. These include 2 Normal Endings, 1 Good Ending (Photographic Redemption), 5 Bad Endings, and 4 Secret Endings including the 2 newest October 31 update endings.
Q: Are the Roblox game and the physical Say Cheese board game related?
No, they are completely separate games by different creators that share the popular photographic idiom 'Say Cheese!'. The Roblox game by Mechanical Boy LLC is a darkroom psychological horror mystery inspired by Nicky Case. In contrast, 'Player 1: SAY CHEESE!' by Project Genius is an educational single-player logic puzzle involving physical rolling mice blocks.
Q: Can I play Say Cheese online in my browser without downloading Roblox or buying the toy?
Yes! Our homepage features a retro Polaroid 600 Camera Viewfinder with 4 instant-play puzzle modes, including a native 4x4 Roll & Push puzzle, Mouse & Cheese path navigation, and photo sliding jigsaw puzzles that capture the cheese-hunting and camera-shutter themes.
Q: What should I do if I get stuck on Level 38 or Level 50 of the Say Cheese board game?
High-difficulty challenges (Extra Sharp tier 36–50) require intentional non-intuitive moves, such as temporarily flipping an already solved snout back into a tail position to borrow clearance around the fixed center cheese. Use our interactive 3D solver on this website to view the move-by-move animated simulation.
