Each day
A day looks like this
Every game day moves through morning briefing, social hour, a mini-game, the vote, and the reveal — plus an activity or dilemma most days. The lineup changes daily.
- 01
Morning briefing
Game Master posts the day's lineup. Cast catches up on what happened overnight.
- 02
Social hour
DMs open. You get a daily allowance of partners and characters; pick where to spend them.
- 03
The day's mini-game
One of 25 — Quick Math, Stacker, Blind Auction, King's Ransom, Reaction Time, Snake. Earn silver — the in-game currency you spend on perks and gifts.
- 04
The prompt
One of six — Hot Take, Would You Rather, Confession, Guess Who. Anonymous answers, public reveal.
- 05
The vote
One of 8 mechanics — Majority, Bubble, Trust Pairs, Podium Sacrifice, Executioner, Shield, Second-to-Last. Each shapes who gets out and how.
- 06
The reveal
Server tabulates. Someone leaves. Tomorrow opens.
Phases stay open for hours, not minutes. Push notifications carry the heads-up. 5–10 minutes total per day if you're casual; longer if you're scheming.
What you'll see
A game looks like this
Real screenshots from a six-player playtest — no mockups. A cast strip up top, scoped chat below (main feed, 1:1 DMs, group DMs), and a daily vote that always sends someone home. No install, no app store, no Discord setup.
The cast.
Personas across the top. Group chat below. Watch it shrink each day.
The DM.
Tap a face, open a 1:1. The real game lives here.
The vote.
Today's mechanic: Majority. Four of six already locked in.
The reveal.
When it happens to you, your portrait fills the screen. The cohort moves on.
For ORG players
Different from ORGs?
Yes, by design. SRorgs is a 6–10 week multi-tribe arc with custom challenges, hidden idols, and the operational depth that comes from a host putting 100+ hours into a season. PO is a different shape:
Days, not weeks.
A game runs ~5 days for a 6-player cast, longer for bigger ones. Plays during your normal week, not as a season-long commitment.
One cast, not three tribes.
No tribe split, no merge. Casts typically 6–12 players in the sweet spot — smaller gets tighter, larger gets noisier.
Server-handled ops.
Vote tabulation, phase clocks, push notifications. No host-spreadsheet at 2am.
Magic-link join.
No application, no audition, no Discord setup. Click a link, you're in.
Play on demand.
Casts open continuously as players sign up. Not gated by a season calendar.
Persona-based.
You play a character, not yourself. (More on this below.)
Best case: PO fills the gap between SRorgs seasons. Both formats, different week.
The format
You play a persona. You catfish.
Every player is handed a character when they join — portrait, name, a starter premise. You write a short bio for them, in character. Then you play through the cast as them.
The persona is your costume. The catfishing is the sport.
Other players see your character; nobody knows who's behind which face until the reveal at the end. Closer to Mafia or Werewolf than to a true-self ORG — you adopt a role and you commit to it.
SRorgs nails the players-as-themselves format. PO is a different shape.
Honest
What's there. What's not.

- Real-time chat in scoped channels: main feed, 1:1 DMs, group DMs with mutable membership, game-scoped channels during live cartridges.
- Per-day economy: DM characters and partners are limited. Silver currency carries influence into voting.

- Click-to-join: magic link, no application, no audition.
- Continuous casts: new games open as players sign up.
- Phone-first PWA: no app store, no install.
Not yet
- Custom challenge designer (you pick from the 25 mini-game cartridges)
- Hidden idols, advantages, vote steals
- Multi-tribe Survivor structure (single cast only)
- Host narration tools (recap posts, custom storyline arcs)
- Years of polish (we’re in playtest, bugs exist)
If anything in the “not yet” column is a dealbreaker, that's fair. Sign up anyway and tell us, or play SRorgs — both work.
Questions
FAQ
- Q.How long is a game?
- Roughly 1 day per player. A 6-player cast runs ~5 days; a 12-player cast runs ~11. The last day is always Finals.
- Q.How much time per day?
- 5–10 minutes if you're casual. Longer if you're scheming, or if today's mini-game is one you're competitive at.
- Q.What if I miss a phase?
- Most phases stay open for hours, not minutes. Push notifications fire when one opens. Missing a vote auto-abstains; the rest of the cast still decides. Missing a chat just means you’re quieter that day.
- Q.How do timezones work?
- Phases run on a fixed schedule. Push notifications fire when one opens, so you don't need to keep checking. We pick game start times that work for cross-timezone players.
- Q.What devices does it work on?
- Phone, tablet, desktop. It’s a web app — no install, no app store. Works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, desktop browsers. iOS push requires adding to home screen (one tap from the share menu).
- Q.Can I play with friends?
- Not as a formal feature. After signup you get a referral code — friends who sign up via your link may land in the same cast, but we don’t guarantee it.
- Q.How do you handle cheating or collusion?
- All in-game messages are scoped to channels — main, DMs, group DMs. The server logs every event. We’re not naive about meta-DMing on Discord; casts that abuse it get flagged and removed.
- Q.What data do you collect?
- Email (so we can email when your cast starts). Phone optional (for SMS reminders). PII is encrypted at rest. We don’t sell anything. Privacy + Terms at /privacy and /terms.
- Q.Is it free?
- Yes during playtest. No credit card.
- Q.How do I get cast?
- Sign up with your email. We email you when a cast opens — currently rolling, as enough players sign up.
