Getting Started: Basic Gameplay
Game Modes
When creating a new player, you will get to choose from three game modes: Normal, Multi-click, and Relaxed. Normal mode will allow you to assign tasks only when you have free workers. Multi-click mode will allow you to assign tasks even when your workers are busy. Relaxed mode has no time limit- simply relax and have fun! Game mode selection is permanent. If you want to change the game mode at any time, you will need to create a new player.
Levels
Each level is represented by a traffic cone along a winding road on the main map. When hovering your cursor over a level, you’ll be able to see how many times you’ve completed it, as well as your times and scores. Completing a level successfully will allow you to progress to the next traffic cone and thus unlock the next level. Levels you’ve already completed will replace the traffic cone with a statue, as well as stars to indicate your score at a glance.
Objectives
A unique challenge awaits you in each level you play. These objectives are shown in the upper right corner of your screen. Objectives will update as you work your way through a level. Once you’ve completed an objective, it will be checked off of your list. Complete all the level objectives within the time given to unlock the next level!
Score
Your score is determined by three factors: time spent, resources collected, and buildings built. If this sounds complicated, not to worry: You can easily keep track of how much time you have remaining via the colored bar in the upper left corner of your screen. Complete a level before the bar runs empty to unlock the next one. Complete a level before the green portion of the bar runs out to obtain a 3-star ranking!
Resources
There are four types of resources in Rescue Team 5: Food, Wood, Money, and Fuel. Your resource amounts are always visible in the upper left corner of your screen. Each task you do requires resources. Resources may be obtained by clearing obstructions, as rewards for having certain types of buildings built (e.g. Burger Cafes, Lumber Mills, Houses, or Gas Stations respectively), or simply by gathering them sitting out in the open. Resource management is key in completing levels within the amount of time provided.
Workers
Each level you play features workers. These handy heroes are responsible for helping you complete various tasks. By default, construction workers will be a part of your crew. They’re responsible for gathering resources, maintaining buildings, and repairing or clearing structures. Other types of workers will become available as you progress through the game. Click on an object to assign a task to one of these workers. Each type of worker has a home base from which they originate. Hat icons over these bases will let you know whether any extra workers are available that aren’t currently working on a task.
Rescue Team 5 Walkthrough
Level 1
Rescue people: 3
Tips & Tricks Level 01 Rescue Team 5
- The goal of today is quite simple: Rescue three people unable to reach the main road on their own. This will act as your tutorial level.
- Pick up the Food and Wood resources on the left.
- Clear the obstruction on the first road leading up. This will free the man trapped here and give you access to another Food resource.
- Repair the bridge spanning the chasm heading down.
- Clear the obstructions on the bottom road, and don’t forget to collect your food resources on the sides of the road.
- Repair the final bridge heading east-west across the chasm to rescue the final individual.
Level 2
Rescue people: 3
Tips and Tricks Level 02 Rescue Team 5
- This is the first level in which buildings are introduced. You will need to repair them in order to gain access to their resources.
- Burger Cafes produce food. In addition to a normal output which is automatically added to your resources, occasional bonus income will show up in front of the building. You will need to click on it to have a worker collect it. Once the worker returns to their base with the resource, it will be added to your resource amount in the upper left corner.
- Repair the bridge to gain access to the second part of the level. From here, repair the House. Houses will provide you with Money resources.
- Clear the wood obstructions first, followed by the stone obstruction blocking the path.

- Clear the final Big stone to rescue the final individual.
Level 3
Rescue people: 5
Hints Level 03 Rescue Team 5

- Clear the obstruction blocking the way to the Wood resources first, then gather them.
- Use your resources to repair the three Large bridges leading to the civilians to rescue them.
Level 4
Rescue people: 13

Tips, Tricks, and Hints
In need of a few more tips and tricks, or perhaps just looking for a hint? Not to worry! This section will guide you through a few extra pointers to help you use your time in Rescue Team 5 most efficiently.
- Stack your tasks!- In Multi-click mode especially, you can click on multiple tasks even if you don’t immediately have a worker available to complete them. This “stacking” can help you complete tasks in a more timely manner, especially if you need an extra moment to think.
- Blueprint bonuses go into effect immediately!- On levels which contain blueprints, which can boost your resource output or help your workers to move faster, it’s important to know when to use these. You don’t need to pick them up right away. In fact, you can ignore them entirely if you chose. Save these boosts for the moments in which you really need them: when you’ve got multiple workers that can benefit from it, or even just that extra push to finish the level on time. Unlike resources, blueprint bonuses go into effect immediately when gathered.
- Demolish and rebuild!- The key to completing a lot of levels quickly is to know when to demolish a building and build a new one in its place. Keep an eye on your resource amounts and don’t hesitate to hover over remaining tasks or obstacles to see what their requirements are. If, for example, you have two Burger Cafes, but none of your remaining tasks require Food resources, then there’s no point in keeping those two Burger Cafes. Instead, build something else in its place that will give you the resources you need.
- Animals tend to wander!- Try to keep an eye on the animals in the levels they appear in. Animals may initially be trapped behind an obstruction, but once that obstruction is cleared, they will wander anywhere and everywhere they can. An extra task to safely capture the animals is needed before they can be rescued, so be careful not to let them wander so far it may be difficult to find them again.
- Know your objectives!- This may seem self-explanatory, however- each level has a unique objective, and sometimes you’ll be thrown a curve ball you haven’t seen before. Make sure you look at your objective every time you load a level so you know exactly what needs to be done to complete it. Not all levels rely 100% on rescues; some levels may require you to save up a certain amount of a particular resource.
- Before demolishing buildings, know what you can build!- Some levels will have restrictions on which types of buildings you can build. Sometimes these levels will have the type of building you can’t build already built somewhere else in the level, e.g. You cannot build Gas Stations, but there is a Gas Station already there which may be restored. Check your resource requirements and make sure you don’t demolish these buildings if they’re needed for your objectives!
- Prioritize!- It’s always important to know your priorities. For example, when it comes to tasks, you may have to choose between rescuing a person or gathering a resource. If rescuing that individual is what helps you complete your objective, you should rescue them and not spend extra time gathering a resource you no longer need.
