Your victims act as your lifeblood in the game. You start with ten per level and if you decrease to zero victims to rescue in a level it will be game over. Once certain score thresholds are hit victims can be returned, however it is in your best interest to rescue them as fast as possible and aim to not lose a single cheerleader, baby, or tourist.

Not all Victims are at risk, therefore you should prioritize your rescues based on monsters and victim exposure. For example trampoline Kids are generally safe from any harm, thus allowing you to put your focus on more exposed victims, for example victims that are out in the open. 

You can keep victims safe and out of reach by putting them behind locked doors, however some monsters can still reach them. You should also not neglect pool guys on levels with fishmen either, guys floating in the swimming pools early in the game are generally safe. Not so much as you progress.

Until you have spawned the exit door you should not worry about scoring monster kills or gathering items with victims being your priority, that way you’ll always have a quick way out when needed.
