Get into character
Starting the game
Be it a costume, an accent, or just an appropriate Zoom background, you can interpret your character however you like. Just remember that you don’t have to be a confident performer as the Secret Objectives will guide your behaviour!
Open the Zoom link
Starting the game
As soon as you’re ready, open the link in your confirmation email to enter the house. You will enter the waiting room where HouseMaster will show you a Zoom tutorial and invite you to sign in using the link on the first page of your Secret Objectives. Your video will be off at this point, but you can ask any questions and say hello via the private chat box.
Let the games begin!
Starting the game
Once everyone is signed in, buckle up! HouseMaster will start the game and give you a moment to read your Day 1 Secret Objectives before introducing the Housemates one by one. What happens next is up to you!
Game duration
During the game
The game is split into five minute rounds known as ‘Days’. The game usually lasts between 2-2.5 hours and includes a ten minute break.
Your Secret Objectives
During the game
In each round, you will be given a secret objective along with suggestions on how to achieve it. If the objective is to ‘Stir up trouble’, your suggested tactics might be to ‘Give backhanded compliments’ or ‘Accuse someone else of cheating’. But bear in mind, other players might have objectives that are in direct conflict with yours...
Challenges, votes and nominations
During the game
Throughout the game, there will be opportunities to cast votes and record your achievements via a link on your Secret Objectives. Votes and scores are automatically updated as you submit, meaning some dramatic reveals and twists during the game.
Winners and prizes
During the game
At the end of the game, each player will get to cast their final votes in a number of categories. The final winners are then announced. We can organise some prizes if you'd like!
The Afterparty
After the game
We will leave the Zoom meeting open for you to stay and enjoy each other’s company for as long as you like.
Post-Game
After the game
We will send you a post-game email including a summation of your game, group photo, screenshots and links for feedback, reviews and our socials, plus any other extras agreed before the game.
