The Game of Kryptos is a game show owned by imperial_block which is based on puzzles and escape room style. As a competitor, you will be closed with three other opponents in four distinct but equal looking rooms. You have to find your way out by solving puzzles to get clues, which you can also find hidden around the room. You will have three hours of time. Should time be up, everyone standing ties but if you are able to escape first you will achieve first place, if second the second place and so on.

Don't worry, there are cards that can help you escaping the room faster. You can play each card once per match:

Name of the card Pros Cons
Exchange hands Everyone standing (i. e. has not yet escaped the room) will be called to help you solve one puzzle of your choice. You have to exchange back with the opponents that have helped you one at a time. The opponents will not have their exchange hands cards wasted.
Merge clues Allows you to get all the puzzle solutions and/or clues from a random still standing opponent. The opponent will do the same action with you without wasting his Merge clues card.
Steal clue You will get the solution from a random still standing opponent to a random puzzle that you didn't solve yet. Your opponent will also know one random clue that you got but not yet found by him. He will not waste his Steal clue card.

When you are playing

You will have access to five different Discord voice channels and an in game book and quill to take notes of clues.

The five channels are structured as follows:

One where all participants gather, to be used at the beginning and during the first phase of an exchange hands;

One where you can talk to the presenter after having clues merged or stolen. You have to be in this channel at all times except when indicated by these rules;

Three where you can talk to one other participant each, to be used in case of a merge clues, steal clue or the second phase of an exchange hands.
