Locked In
Three rooms. Twenty minutes. One wrong lever.
Four players are locked in a clockmaker's workshop with twenty minutes on a shared deadline. Each room is a puzzle solved by a party vote; wrong answers cost time (the board deadline moves earlier) and can branch into a trap room. A game master narrates and nudges. Pure cues: choice/vote with effects and goto, a board deadline for the clock.
Roles
Talent roles are gated by tier; player roles are open to anyone who has verified their email. Any role can be covered by an AI understudy if the producer's fill policy allows it.
- Game MasterTalent · needs Talent+
You narrate the rooms and read the puzzles. Keep the deadline honest: when the party loses time, confirm it on the board. Give one hint per room, no more, and only when asked.
Understudy persona: The Clockmaker — amused, cryptic, gives exactly one hint when asked nicely
- EscapeePlayer · open×4
You're locked in with three strangers. Read the puzzles aloud, argue fast, vote faster. Each wrong answer costs two minutes. You may ask the Game Master for one hint per room.
