Say Cheese! All 12 Endings
You're the news photographer in the park, and every photo you take changes what people do next. Here's what to shoot for each ending, a link to the exact minute in the full playthrough video, and a checklist that remembers what you've unlocked.
Numbers from Roblox, 31 Oct 2026.
Short answer: Say Cheese has 12 endings. Start with the 6 quick ones: Cricket (click the cricket on the intro screen), Breaking News (5 photos of empty grass), Reverse (7+ people in one photo), Say Cheese, TV and Follow the Money.
The other 6 all branch off one 5-photo main chain. Hat is the hardest.

Quick endings (do these first)
None of these need the long main chain, so they're the fastest way to fill the checklist. Restart the story between endings.
Cricket ending
On the intro screen, watch for the cricket that hops from the left edge of the screen to the right. Click it before it's gone. That's the whole ending.
Breaking News ending
- Point the camera at a patch of grass with no people and no objects in the frame.
- Take a photo. Repeat until you have 5 photos of nothing but grass.
If it doesn't trigger, one of your shots probably caught the edge of a person. Aim further away from the crowd.
Reverse ending
Frame a busy part of the park and wait until at least 7 people are inside the camera view at once, then take one photo. Group shots with fewer people don't count.
Say Cheese ending
- Photograph people while they say “Cheese”, three times in a row.
- They start fighting until only one person is left standing.
- Photograph that last survivor.
TV ending
- Photograph the TV with nobody else in the frame. Keep doing it.
- Four TVs appear: three black ones and one normal one. Click the photo of the normal TV.
- The screen goes to static and the TV moves slightly. Photograph the TV one more time.
Follow the Money ending
- Photograph the man in the hat, then any person wearing a hat. (These are also the first two photos of the main chain.)
- On the right side of the park, a man in a suit hands money to the madman. Photograph it as it happens.
- Keep photographing the man in the suit until the ending plays.
The main photo chain
Six endings (Viral, Eyes Closed, Scared, Good, Peace and Hat) all start with the same five photos. Once you know this chain, the six endings are just different turns at the end of it.
- Photograph the man in the hat.
- Photograph any person wearing a hat.
- Photograph the madman while he is screaming at someone.
- Follow the person he screamed at. When they get near a square person and their face turns scared, photograph the two of them together at that moment.
- A square person turns mad. Follow him, and when he reaches a circle and says “HMPH”, take the photo right then.
Tip: do all six chain endings in one sitting. The chain is fiddly the first time and much faster once you've done it.

Viral ending
- Do the main chain through the “HMPH” photo. A circle turns red.
- Follow the red circle. When he shouts at a square, photograph it.
- Keep photographing red people shouting at others until the whole park is red.
- The hat man appears and shoots the madman. Photograph the hat man, then keep photographing people holding weapons until the ending plays.
Eyes Closed ending
Play the Viral route exactly until the hat man shoots the madman. Then stop: take no more photos and just wait. The ending plays on its own.
Scared ending
- Do the main chain until the person runs away scared from the square person (photo 4).
- Photograph the scared person alone, with whoever scared them out of the frame.
- Keep doing that while they run. Eventually everyone pulls out weapons and points them at each other. Photograph that moment.
Good ending
- Do the main chain through the “HMPH” photo.
- Watch the top left of the park, where the madman shouts at a couple.
- When the couple hands their heart hat to the madman, photograph it.
- Photograph the other people who receive heart hats after that.
- When another madman appears, take a few photos of him.
Peace ending
- Do the main chain through the “HMPH” photo, then follow the red circle and photograph him shouting at a square.
- Keep photographing red people shouting as more of them appear.
- Watch the top right for a couple carrying a sign. Photograph them twice, then keep photographing them as they walk.
- Carry on until everyone, in red shirts, stands in a circle around the TV. Take one last photo of that circle.
Hat ending (hardest)
- Play the Viral route until everyone is red and the hat man appears.
- Don't wait: photograph the hat man quickly, several times. Some red people turn into white people wearing hats.
- Keep photographing hat wearers until no red people are left. The TV starts calling it “old news”.
- Photograph the couple wearing red heart hats. Everyone except the hat man switches to heart hats.
- Photograph the hat man again, fast, before he shoots the madman.
The last step is a race. If the hat man shoots first, you get a different ending, so restart and try again.

FAQ
How many endings are in Say Cheese on Roblox?
12: Viral, Cricket, TV, Breaking News, Reverse, Scared, Good, Peace, Hat, Eyes Closed, Say Cheese and Follow the Money.
What is the easiest ending?
Cricket. Click the cricket on the intro screen as it hops across. Breaking News (5 photos of empty grass) and Reverse (7 people in one photo) are next.
How do you get the good ending?
Do the main chain up to the “HMPH” photo, then watch the top left. Photograph the couple giving their heart hat to the madman, photograph everyone who gets a heart hat after that, and take a few photos of the next madman.
What is the hardest ending?
Hat. You have to turn every red person into a hat wearer and then photograph the hat man before he shoots the madman. If he shoots first, restart.
Why didn't my ending trigger?
Most failures are framing: an extra person at the edge of an “empty” or “alone” shot, or a photo taken a moment too early or late in the main chain. Restart and redo the chain; it's quicker the second time.
Is Say Cheese based on another game?
Yes. The game's own description says it is based on We Become What We Behold by Nicky Case, a short browser game about how news cameras feed panic.
