Infection
Your antidote is ticking while an infected bastard hunts for the next person to drink with.
Watch every drink request. A carrier can turn a harmless toast into a conversion, while the Scientist gets one shot to stop the spread.
1 / 5What you're in for
A hidden carrier starts the infection. Healthy players keep their antidote alive with completed drinks; infected players send private requests and wait for the wrong person to accept. Each strain gives its carriers a different way to set up a conversion, and the Scientist has one dose to spend. Bring this out with a big group that enjoys secrets, suspicion and the moment a friendly toast starts looking like evidence.
Game rules
Protect your status. Everyone uses a phone, including the host. Read your private status and never show your screen; the infection, target and challenge stay hidden there.
Healthy players maintain the antidote. Complete drinks before your countdown expires. If it reaches zero, you become Infected, and accepting a live infection request converts you immediately.
Infected players spread it. Prime Infected can transmit without a challenge. Every other Infected player chooses an enabled strain and uses its private challenge to send a live infection request.
Treat every request carefully. Accepting resolves the drink and its effect immediately. If the hidden target refuses a live attempt, the initiator becomes Impotent: still Infected, still able to send decoys, unable to transmit.
Use the Scientist's dose wisely. Dosing an Infected player makes them Impotent. Dosing a Healthy player wastes the ability, but makes their next completed drink count double.
Know the win conditions. Infected win when no Healthy player remains. Healthy players win when the timer expires with a survivor, or every transmitting Infected player has become Impotent.
