The Timer is a game mechanic in Piggy.

Mechanic

After the intro cutscene(s) of the selected chapter ends, a timer set at 10:00 will begin. It starts at 10:00 and stops at 0:00. When the timer hits 9:30, Piggy will be spawned in. Right after the timer hits 0:00, the text Game Over will appear, and the Piggy wins (although they will not earn any Piggy Tokens by winning). The round will then end, sending everyone back to the Main Menu in which a new round will start. It will also go instantly to Game Over if the survivors or Piggy(s) win.

Breakout, Distorted Holiday, and The Hunt have their own timer lengths of 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. Build Mode maps can have custom timer lengths set. If no time limit is put, then the map will have a 30 second timer that when finished, will spawn Piggy and give the traitor their weapon if present.

RB Battles Spaceship and Decay lack timers entirely.

Trivia

• Build Mode is the only game mode where the Timer does not determine the total round length, specifically if no time limit has been set.
• The PIGGY™ Household doesn't have a strict timer, but uses a similar mechanic: After 30 seconds, Piggy will spawn. When 10 minutes are finished, a horde of Piggy Rocketeers will spawn and kill whoever they find. The round will restart after the Rocketeers disappear. Seeing as the rocketeers cannot access many parts of the map, rounds can last functionally forever.
• There was an error with Owell, Primrose, or Mari that caused text to not appear on the screen for the user of the skin, only the timer appeared. For example, when the game ended, the text that says "Game Over" did not appear, but the timer appeared at 00:00.
• This is one of the several mechanics to appear in nearly every single chapter.
  • There is no timer in RB Battles Spaceship or Decay.
• On May 28th, 2024, Roblox removed the Gotham font, which is the font that Piggy used for the timer in the main game and Book 2 prior. The replacement font is Montserrat.
• The timers in Breakout and Mansion are invisible until it hits the 1:00 mark.
  • If a player joins mid-round, they can see the timer even if it has more than one minute remaining. Ghosts and Piggy can also see the timer.
  • If it's Tag and the survivor is tagged, both the one doing the tagging and the one who got tagged will see the timer, even if it has more than one minute remaining.
