You need to enter the shutdown code, quickly, before the robots take over for good. Can you figure out who among us is secretly trying to sabotage everything, and use the real human clues to figure out the code? Or will the traitorous bot get the better of you all and succeed in their quest for world domination?

What Is It?

🥅The Goal is to get the guesser to guess the correct shutdown code OR to work together to identify the bot, if the code is incorrect
⚙️Deduction – The guesser will show everyone else the shutdown code and everyone will give answers to their prompts to get the guesser to get it right in order for the humans to win. If the guesser is wrong, players will have to defend their humanity and then vote for who they think the bot is. If they are correct, humans still win. If they do not catch the bot, the bot wins.

Who Is It For?

👥2 to 8 Players – I think 2 is a bit boring; the game really starts to shine at 5+
👥Ages 10 & Up – Rules are simple, though sometimes the prompts can be tricky to think up answers for
👥Fans of social deduction, hidden traitors, and games in the same vein as Wavelength

PROS

🟢Small and portable; doesn’t need a large play area
🟢Optional scoring to vary how you play
🟢Lots of different prompt cards for variability
🟢Quick set up, clean up, and play

CONS

🔴The lime green is a bit abrasive
🔴Some prompts are more difficult than others
🔴I wish there was some art on at least some of the cards

Final Thoughts

The game works well, and plays quickly and smoothly. It is a nice introductory social deduction type game. I don’t feel like it does anything super unique or exciting, and I definitely wish there was a bit more to the overall look of it, but I think it works, and can be really funny with the right group too!
