⬛ OPERATIVE CLASSIFICATION

Threat Assessment

Crew Member
Crew
CLEARANCE A

Station personnel working to stabilize HELIX-9's critical protocols. You don't know who the infiltrators are — only your own loyalty. Vote carefully. Trust no one.

CREW
Adversary
Infiltrator
COMPROMISED

Hidden among the crew. You know your allies. The crew does not. Your mission: corrupt protocols, sow distrust, and destroy the station from within.

INFILTRATOR
Wildcard
Executor
UNKNOWN

If the crew identifies the infiltrators, the Executor gets one final chance — name the Analyst. A correct guess hands victory back to the infiltrators.

WILDCARD

⬛ MISSION BRIEFING

How to Play

01
Assign Roles

Pass the phone secretly to each player. Everyone sees only their own role — infiltrators also see each other's identities.

02
Form a Team

The Mission Leader proposes a team of players to execute the next protocol. Team size changes each round.

03
Vote

All players vote to approve or reject the team. Majority rules — but 5 consecutive rejections means an automatic infiltrator win.

04
Execute Protocol

Approved team members secretly vote SUCCESS or CORRUPT. Any single corrupt vote fails the mission — no exceptions.

05
Win the Game

3 stabilized protocols → CREW WINS. 3 corrupted → INFILTRATORS WIN. Unless the Executor gets the last word.

⬛ CLASSIFIED MECHANICS

What Makes It Different

// SIGNAL 01

The Executor Twist

Even after the crew exposes the infiltrators, the game isn’t over. The Executor gets one final shot — name the Analyst. A correct guess reverses everything.

UNIQUE MECHANIC
// SIGNAL 02

Zero Friction

No app. No account. No download. Open a link, pass one phone. You’re running a mission in under 60 seconds — five languages built in.

INSTANT PLAY
// SIGNAL 03

Everyone’s Screen

Switch to Companion Mode: each operative plays on their own device. Real-time sync, secret roles, no passing. Or stay with one phone — your call.
