Learn how the Final Girl: Don't Make A Sound Series 3 expansion plays, from setup to facing the killer. A step-by-step guide with practical checkpoints for solo players.

Quick answer

Treat Don't Make A Sound as a stealth-focused solo scenario: set up the Feature Film board, keep noise low, and use the killer's movement rules against it. The steps below walk you from box to first turn.

What this Series 3 expansion adds to your Final Girl games

Don't Make A Sound is a Feature Film expansion for Final Girl, not a standalone game. It requires the Final Girl core box to play. That means you bring the core rules, dice, and action economy, and this box supplies the location, the killer, and the scenario-specific tension.

The expansion is built for exactly one player. If you usually play Final Girl with a group, you'll be playing this one solo. The retail edition includes the Feature Film expansion components; check the box contents against the setup list before your first session so you don't hunt for a missing card mid-game.

Why noise management changes your whole turn plan

The title is a warning, not a theme. In this scenario, the killer reacts to the trail you leave, so every extra action or careless move can pull danger toward you. Plan two turns ahead: decide which actions are worth the attention they create, and save low-profile moves for when the killer is close.

This is also where the expansion's difficulty lives. The Board Game Geek average player rating for this expansion sits at 8.16, which suggests solo players respond well to the scenario, but the community rating of 5.66 is noticeably lower. That gap usually means the experience is polarizing: some players love the stealth puzzle, others find the constraint frustrating. Go in expecting a tighter, more cautious game than a straight brawl.

A note on player count and replayability

Because this is a 1-player expansion, there is no scaling for extra players. If you want a shared Final Girl night, this isn't the box to open. For solo play, the scenario's fixed setup and killer behavior mean replay value comes from your decisions, not from variable player counts. That's a tradeoff worth knowing before you buy.

How to set up and play Don't Make A Sound

Confirm you have the core box: Open the Final Girl core box and this Feature Film expansion together. Lay out the core rulebook, dice, and action boards first, then add the expansion's location, killer, and scenario cards. Common mistake: trying to play from the expansion alone. Checkpoint: if you can't find the core action boards, stop and locate them before continuing.
Build the Feature Film board: Follow the expansion's setup instructions to place the location tiles, tokens, and starting positions for the Final Girl and the killer. Keep the scenario card visible. Common mistake: mixing tokens from other Final Girl expansions. Checkpoint: every token on the table should come from either the core box or this expansion's bag.
Read the killer's behavior before your first turn: The killer in Don't Make A Sound responds to the noise and movement you generate. Read its behavior card and scenario rules fully before rolling any dice. Common mistake: skimming the killer card and assuming it acts like a basic chaser. Checkpoint: you should be able to state, in one sentence, what triggers the killer's attention.
Plan your first turn around noise: Choose actions that keep your noise low while still making progress toward the scenario's objective. If an action would spike noise, ask whether it can wait one turn. Common mistake: spending every action on movement and leaving no defense. Checkpoint: end your turn knowing where the killer will likely move next.
Use the scenario's stealth tools deliberately: The expansion gives you ways to reduce or redirect attention. Use them when the killer is within one move of your position, not as an opening move. Common mistake: burning limited stealth resources early. Checkpoint: keep at least one attention-reduction option in reserve until the killer closes in.
Adjust difficulty if the stealth puzzle feels too tight: If the scenario's noise pressure is overwhelming your first games, replay with a simpler core killer or reduce the scenario's escalation for a learning session. Common mistake: forcing the full rules on your first play and concluding the expansion is broken. Checkpoint: finish one full game before deciding whether the difficulty suits you.
