GAMEPLAY

This is a narrative game, with nothing left to chance dice rolls or card draws. Instead, like improvisational theater, you interact with each other, building a narrative together, and it is all based on the principle of “yes, and.”

You take turns discussing the heist and your roles in the scheme. If you initiate a scene, you are the final arbiter of that scene, known as the spotlight. You dictate the truth about yourself in all situations, and try not to shoot down the contributions of others. This might seem hard at first, but you’ll get the hang of it. If not, watch a few episodes of Whose Line...?

Security Theater was created for Game Chef 2016.
