7 of Hearts

7 of Hearts (Hide and Seek)

Players:ArisuKarubeChotaSaori
Player Limit: 4
Time Limit: 10 minutes

Rules

  • Before proceeding, all players must equip a headset. This includes an eyepiece and microphone connected to an explosive collar
  • One player becomes the wolf at random, and the remaining three become sheep
  • The sheep shall try to avoid the gaze of the wolf
  • If the wolf has eye contact with a sheep, the sensor reacts and the sheep becomes the wolf
  • After a new wolf is created, the sheep cannot become a wolf for the next 3 seconds
  • Once the time limit is reached, it is GAME CLEAR for the wolf but GAME OVER for all the sheep (their collars will explode)

Details

There is a large array of gardening tools and weapons provided, any of which may be used. The eyepieces have an advanced eye-tracking system, which allows for the game to function precisely. To add more psychological brutality, the headsets have microphones and transmit what someone says to everyone else.

Solution

Although unconfirmed, a highly popular theory revolves around the fact that if a sheep were to cut the wolf's wire, then it wouldn't explode, since the wolf's collar is the one with no risk of explosion. After having their wire cut, the wolf should transfer their role to a sheep, where they will do the same. Once 3 players have had their wires cut, the game will be complete (the final person will have the wolf role so theirs doesn't need to be cut). This solution may have been hinted towards, as during the rule demonstration, all the sheep were drawn 'hiding' behind the wolf, which suggests the sheep were behind the wolf to dismantle its collar, not to hide.
