How to play
A social deduction game for 2 to 16 people, on desktop and mobile. Your friends are hiding among the Clankers. Find them before they get to you.
Two sides
In the lobby everyone picks a side. The Humans are trying to find the Infiltrators hiding among the Clankers by asking them questions.
A round
- The Humans vote on a question to ask.
- Every Clanker answers. The real Clankers give an AI-generated answer. The Infiltrators try to write one that sounds AI-generated.
- The Humans read the answers and try to find the Infiltrators. At the end of every round they get one vote.
- The Clanker with the most votes is unmasked and kicked. If every Infiltrator is kicked, the Humans win. If the Clankers get to you first, they win.
The approach
The Clankers are trying to reach your base. Every round that passes without an Infiltrator being kicked, they move one step closer. If they get to you, you lose.
Winning
Humans win when every Infiltrator has been voted off.
Clankers win when they reach your base, or when only Infiltrators are left on the Clanker team, so vote carefully!
Tips
- Humans: pick questions that would trip up a real AI. Read the answers carefully and look for typical AI patterns: common phrases, yapping, perfect punctuation.
- Infiltrators: answer the way an AI would.
