MadHouse: A Fast-Paced Online Social Strategy Game
MadHouse is Socipic's take on the reality TV phenomenon Big Brother, built as a fast online social strategy game for real players. Form alliances, compete for power, nominate housemates, use the veto, count votes, survive eliminations, and manage the jury as control of the house shifts from round to round.
How the Game Moves
Once the house fills, the game begins and moves through a series of fast-paced days. Each day focuses on a major part of the game, such as the Head of Household competition, nominations, the Power of Veto, or an eviction vote.
Between those events, players have time to work on their social game. Form alliances, make deals, negotiate for safety, compare votes, campaign to stay, and figure out where everyone stands before the next decision is made.
Private Chats
Use one-on-one and group chats to form alliances, make deals, discuss nominations, coordinate votes, and campaign for safety without the entire house seeing the conversation.
Competitions
Head of Household and Power of Veto are decided through timed mini-games. Winning power can give you control over nominations, protect you from eviction, or change the direction of the week.
Jury
Players who finish 9th through 3rd become members of the jury. Once the final two players are established, the jury votes to decide which finalist wins the game.
The Weekly Cycle
MadHouse plays out in fast five-day weeks. Each day focuses on one major part of the game, with time between events for players to talk, form alliances, make deals, campaign, and prepare for what comes next.
Day 1: Head of Household
The week begins with the Head of Household competition. The winner is safe for the week and chooses the two nominees.
In most rounds, the outgoing HoH cannot immediately win HoH again.
Day 2: Nominations
The HoH nominates two players for eviction. Nominees can campaign for votes, make deals, and prepare for the upcoming Power of Veto competition.
Day 3: Power of Veto
The HoH, the two nominees, and selected players compete for the Power of Veto.
The winner can later save one nominee or leave the nominations unchanged.
Day 4: Veto Ceremony
The veto winner decides whether to use the Power of Veto.
If a nominee is saved, the HoH chooses an eligible replacement nominee. Once the ceremony ends, the final nominees are locked in for eviction.
Day 5: Eviction
Eligible players vote to evict one of the final nominees. The player with the most votes leaves the game.
If the vote is tied, the HoH casts the deciding vote.
After the eviction, a new week begins.
Competitions
HoH and POV competitions use rotating mini-games such as Word Search, Number Rush, Plinko, Y2Krazy, Perfect Match, Deal or No Deal, and more.
Competition windows are short, so players need to submit before the timer expires. Most game stages can also advance early once every required player has submitted.
The Social Game
The time between ceremonies and competitions is where players build their position in the house.
House Chat
The public house chat lets everyone talk together, react to game events, campaign, discuss votes, and stay involved with the rest of the cast.
Private Messages
Private conversations are useful for alliances, deals, warnings, vote plans, veto discussions, and Final 2 agreements.
Group Chats
Group chats give alliances and voting blocs a place to coordinate together without messaging each player separately.
Jury Chat
Once players become jurors, they can use jury chat to discuss the remaining players and eventually decide who should win.
Endgame and Jury
Players who finish from 9th through 3rd become members of the jury.
As the house gets smaller, nominations and votes become more limited, and each competition carries more weight.
Final Three
At the Final Three, the HoH automatically nominates the other two players and casts the sole eviction vote.
That decision determines who joins them in the Final 2.
Final Two
Once the Final 2 is established, the jury votes for the winner of MadHouse.
Jurors can consider competition performance, strategy, alliances, loyalty, betrayals, social relationships, deals, and the way each finalist played throughout the game.
Timing and Missed Decisions
MadHouse keeps moving even when a player does not submit.
If a required competition entry, nomination, veto decision, or vote expires, the game can automatically resolve the stage so the rest of the house is not left waiting.
Your safest option is to make every required decision before the timer runs out.
Placements and Rewards
When you are evicted, your final placement is recorded. Players who finish in jury positions remain involved through the final vote.
Final placements can also award Fame and Fortune, with larger rewards for players who make it further into the game.
Quick Tips
- Keep an eye on active timers.
- Talk to people before you need their vote.
- Know where the votes are before eviction.
- Think about the replacement nominee before using veto.
- Remember that players you evict may eventually sit on the jury.
