Say Cheese Eyes Closed Ending: Win by Not Taking Photos
On this page
The Say Cheese Eyes Closed Ending asks you to do something no other ending does: stop taking photos. When the panic and violence start, you put the camera down and let it pass. The Say Cheese Eyes Closed Ending is easy once you know the trick, but players who keep shooting out of habit never see it.
Some walkthroughs call it the Closed Eyes Ending; it is the same entry in the endings menu.

How to Get the Eyes Closed Ending
- Play until the panic starts. In both detailed walkthroughs, the ending is tied to the moment violence or panic breaks out in the park.
- Put the camera down. Do not photograph the fighting. One guide calls this route the opposite of the Viral route.
- Do nothing. The most detailed walkthrough simply does nothing at this point.
- Wait for the panic to stop. According to the same guide, the panic eventually stops on its own, and the ending plays.
Tips and Common Mistakes
- Resist the shutter. Every photo of the fight feeds the headlines that lead toward the Viral Ending.
- Do not photograph empty space either. Five photos of nothing is a different ending, the Breaking News Ending.
- Give it time. The panic does not stop instantly. Keep waiting.
- Know the clue. One guide describes this ending as easy to get but tricky if you do not know the clues: the clue is that sometimes the right choice is not taking the shot.
What the Eyes Closed Ending Means
Say Cheese is built on the idea that the news shapes what people do. You play a journalist hired by "Big Media" to spread chaos, and every photo becomes a headline. The Eyes Closed Ending is the quiet answer to that: if no one feeds the story, the panic burns out by itself. It is a direct nod to the theme of We Become What We Behold, the Nicky Case game Say Cheese is based on.
You can start a run from the Say Cheese Roblox page.
