Live room play
A social deduction game that happens around you
The venue becomes the board. Everyone stays in motion, information stays incomplete, and behavior becomes part of the evidence.
The game never pauses
There are no turns and no waiting. The next instruction can arrive at any moment.
Double Agents hide in plain sight
The most dangerous players look exactly like the rest of the room until they act.
Investigate, vote, eliminate
After every takedown, the room debates and decides who should be removed next.
How it works
A session unfolds in four beats
Guests join on their own phones, receive private instructions, and react to a live operation happening in real time.
01
Join the operation
Each guest opens the session on their phone and receives a private role.
02
Move, watch, and bluff
Players circulate, read one another, and react while the room keeps moving.
03
Find the infiltrators
Trust is fragile and information is limited, so behavior becomes your best clue.
04
Debate and eliminate
The room pauses after each fall and chooses who should be removed next.
Why it lands
Built for strategy, bluffing, and reading people
Strategy
Every choice changes how the rest of the room interprets you.
Deception
The format rewards misdirection, timing, and quiet coordination.
Observation
Human behavior becomes part of the game system, not just the atmosphere.
What to expect
Fast to launch, tense to play, easy to host
No controllers or complicated setup
Players already have the device they need, and the room itself becomes the board.
Every session feels different
Player count, alliances, suspicion, and eliminations make each run unique.
Clear opposing goals
Agents expose the infiltrators. Double Agents quietly take over from within.
