Description

Unravel the Reality of NewSpeak

In NewSpeak, a dystopian bluffing and deduction game, players take sides in a battle for control over a fragmented reality. Designed for 3–6 players aged 14 and up, this quick yet intense experience lasts 30–60 minutes, immersing you in a futuristic struggle between two factions: Dissidents and Moderators.

The Concept

Set in a society dominated by augmented reality (AR), NewSpeak challenges players to either subvert or defend the system. The Dissidents seek to disrupt the status quo by hacking AR systems and coordinating secret meetings. Meanwhile, the Moderators work to maintain order, using their resources and wit to anticipate and block the Dissidents’ movements.

How to Play

• As Dissidents: Use coded messages to organise secret meetings. Align your dials to pick a hidden location while evading Moderator suspicion.
• As Moderators: Decode the Dissidents’ intentions by interpreting their cryptic codes. Deploy surveillance to intercept their plans and secure the locations.
• Game Progression: The map evolves as locations are either “hacked” or “moderated.” Dissidents gain allies in hacked areas, while Moderators tighten control with surveillance stations.
