THIS IS REALITY 2000
THIS IS REALITY 2000
Enter the house. Play the game.
The story
Built when the pandemic forced our first project, the in-person murder mystery Art of Murder, offline. THIS IS REALITY 2000 is a social deduction game for 4–12 players, playable on Zoom or in person, inspired by 2000s reality TV — what we made instead, and the game that led us to Popularity. It's relaunching as both a hosted experience and a play-at-home version.
The game
Take a trip back to Y2K and star in your very own reality TV show.
We made the game during the pandemic and it was specifically designed for Zoom. To help you Get Social, we're adapting it to play in real life too, though you can also play it online for those far-flung housemates.
- Enter the house in real life or online
- 4 to 12 players, with 1 to 2 hours' playtime
- Fulfil secret and not-so-secret objectives
- Complete challenges, quizzes and games
- Take part in votes and nominations
- Decide on your winner and other prizes
The housemates
Play as one of 12 outrageous housemates.
Each has their own distinctive storyline and their own secret objectives to fulfil. Anyone can play any character, but only one person can play each character per game.
Sasha Fortune, The Eccentric
This free spirit will never conform to expectations. They might seem peculiar… but what if they're the only one with a grip on reality?Frankie Peacock, The Party Animal
Known all over town for their charm, banter, and living it large… Is there more to them than meets the eye?Jamie Petty, The Control Freak
Whether there's a job that needs doing (or not), this busybody is doing it. Rules and regulation are their religion… and other people's business.Viv Savage, The Bigmouth
No filter, no mercy… and a monumental chip on their shoulder. Get on the wrong side of this unstoppable force and you'll get the full hairdryer treatment.Jude Fuddy, The Grump
"Is anyone actually going to watch this sh*t?" This moody pessimist is at the end of their tether… but can anything melt their hard exterior?Jordan Mann-Hunter, The Diva
Glamorous, confident, and born for fame and fortune, they'll be your best friend… but you'd better watch your back when the claws come out.Nicky Fowler, The Snake
Pulling all the strings, this shady tactician knows how to get ahead in this world… Shame they'd sell their own grandmother to get their way.Charlie Forbes, The Toff
Used to being waited on hand and foot, this aristocratic throwback has never seen so many commoners in one place… and one is not impressed.Ashley Sugar, The Sweetheart
A lovable ditz who just wants to have fun and make best friends for life. But if things don't go their way, get ready for the waterworks.Stevie Kidder, The Wisecracker
This pun-loving joker takes nothing seriously, especially reality TV shows. No subject or housemate is off-limits for a snarky comment or witty put-down.Alex Noble, The Saint
Patient to a fault, this kind-hearted soul is always first to sacrifice themselves for the good of others… Surely no one can be this nice all the time?Leslie Weedle, The Wimp
This brown-noser thinks flattery will get them everywhere. They suck up to all the big personalities, but disappear at the first sign of trouble…
