Mind Game is a social mobile game of deception, subterfuge and psychic
puzzle solving. Three teams of two psychics compete against each
other, and race against the clock to be the first to unlock a
mysterious code. But first they must figure out who they can trust.
Players must use their real world skills of persuasion, deception, as
well as mysterious psychic powers to find their partner and transmit
the information they need to solve the code.
NOTE: The current build only works on android devices. Currently the
menu isn't implement
GAME SETUP
The game must be played with six players
Players are randomly assigned into three teams of two
Each player is given a random name
The game is played in eight rounds
Rounds progressively get shorter through the duration of the game
Players are randomly assigned a role as a 'seer' or a 'speaker' at the
beginning of the first round
Every time a new round stars, players switch to the other role (from a
seer to a speaker and vice versa)
THE CODE
The code is a square with four icons in four different positions
The game displays 12 possible solutions to the code, but only one of
them is correct
THE SEER
Each round, the seer is given a hint with two icons in two positions
One of these two icons is definitely CORRECT
One of these two icons is definitely INCORRECT
THE SPEAKER
Each round, the speaker is shown the 12 possible solutions to the code
the speaker can make one attempt to solve the puzzle per round
SCRYING
Once per game, every player may 'scry' another player
To scry, hit the owl icon and select a player from a list of code names
Scrying causes the selected player's phone to chime, and secretly
reveals that player's team colour on the scrying player's phone screen
You can't scry and block in the same turn
BLOCKING
Once per game, every player may 'block' another player
To block, hit the lightning bolt icon and select a player from a list
of code names
Blocking prevents the selected player from performing any further
actions for the remaining duration of the round, but also displays the
codename of the person who performed the block on the blocked player's
phone
You can't block and scry in the same round
HOW TO WIN
The first team to find the solution to the code wins
Any method of finding the solution to the code is allowed
You are allowed to lie, to listen into the conversations of others,
and to make deals with other players
Respect your fellow players, and have fun!
