How to play

Each event has a maximum of 15 players.

The game is divided into 6 rounds, each consists of a CHALLENGE, a GATHERING and a SILENCING.

Host

Each game is run by a host, the host is impartial, chooses the SILENCERS at random and makes sure the game runs to time. The hosts decision is final.

Challenges

There are 6 very simple sounding challenges in each game, they are so simple that a child could do them - however, everything is time sensitive, prize fund sensitive and one mistake could lead to disaster.

Sometimes the challenges are team based, sometimes they are individuals.. sometimes the Silencers have a secret mission…

Gathering

This is your chance to try and work out who the Silencers are. Can you work out who is muting your fellow players. At the end of the Gathering, there is a muting.

Silencing

This is the Silencers chance to get your numbers down, they meet in secret and decide who to silence.

Muted

if you’re muted you can no longer take part in the voting at future Gatherings, although you can still play along and you will still take part in the challenges.

Do not despair, there are opportunities to re-enter the Gathering later (you might also enter as a Silencer) and even muted players can still win prizes by continuing to play along.

Finale

Once all the muting and silencing has been done, we will be left with 3 players, they must decide if they want to mute again or split the prize fund.

Prize fund

The prize fund is added to as the session goes on. How much is won, depends on how well the challenges are completed.

Winner

Once the Finale has decided the winners, the prize fund is split equally but the finalists…. UNLESS… a silencer or silencers make the final they take prize. Even more incentive to work out who is betraying you!
