The Joker's Game

The Joker's Game is a story-driven survival game set in a mansion run by a mysterious organization. You face lethal, upgraded versions of childhood games alongside other participants, choosing whom to trust as you try to survive. Companions may offer genuine friendship or pursue hidden agendas, and an ally can betray you.

Challenges and strategy

The challenges test your wits as well as your ability to survive. In the Sugar Art Challenge, you draw intricate patterns with chocolate sauce; in Maze Escape, you decode visual illusions to find the exit. Other mechanics include voting to eliminate rivals under the “minority rule,” psychological warfare and temporary cooperation with allies while watching for betrayal.

Choices and conspiracy

Your choices shape branching storylines and determine which companions you trust and who shares the ultimate prize with you. Participants include debt-ridden gamblers, undercover police and elites seeking redemption. As the story unfolds, you uncover the organizers’ motives, which may involve a rich man’s gambling entertainment, human experimentation or a metaphor for class society.

Hidden levels reveal secrets about the laboratory beneath the mansion.
