🎲 PERIL DICE GAME - OFFICIAL RULES

Created by Rebecca Nod and Noose the Bunny

Original concept by Noose the Bunny (djmusica28) in Second Life

🎯 OBJECTIVE

Be the last player standing! Survive the deadly dice rolls while others fall to elimination. Only one can claim Ultimate Victory!

⚙️ SETUP

Players

  • 2-10 players can join the game
  • Bots available for testing and variety
  • Owner participation - game owner can play too!

Starting Conditions

  • Each player begins with 3 lives ❤️❤️❤️
  • One player is randomly selected as the Peril Player 🎯
  • Dice type automatically chosen based on player count

🎮 GAMEPLAY PHASES

1️⃣ Ready Phase

  • All players (except game starter) must mark themselves "Ready"
  • Game starter can begin once everyone is prepared
  • No joining allowed once the killing game begins! 🚫

2️⃣ Number Picking Phase

Players pick numbers based on the Peril Player's remaining lives:

Peril Player's Lives Numbers Each Player Must Pick
❤️❤️❤️ (3 lives) 1 number
❤️❤️ (2 lives) 2 numbers
❤️ (1 life) 3 numbers

Picking Order:

  1. Peril Player picks first
  2. All other players pick in sequence
  3. No duplicate picks - each number can only be chosen once per round

3️⃣ Dice Rolling Phase

  • Peril Player rolls the dice
  • Result determines everyone's fate!
  • Roll is displayed on the game board for all to see

4️⃣ Resolution Phase

Three possible outcomes based on the dice roll:

🔄 PLOT TWIST!

  • Someone OTHER than the Peril Player picked the rolled number
  • That player becomes the new Peril Player
  • No lives lost this round
  • Game continues with new Peril Player

🩸 DIRECT HIT!

  • The Peril Player picked their own rolled number
  • Peril Player loses 1 life ❤️ → 💔
  • If they survive, they remain the Peril Player for next round

🩸 NO SHIELD!

  • Nobody picked the rolled number
  • Peril Player loses 1 life ❤️ → 💔
  • No protection from other players' picks

5️⃣ Elimination

  • Players with 0 lives are eliminated from the game 💀
  • Eliminated players cannot return
  • Game continues with remaining survivors

6️⃣ Victory

  • Last player standing wins! 🏆
  • Winner Glow Celebration (NEW in v2.8.6): Winner gets bright green glow on both scoreboard and floater 💚
  • Extended Victory Display: 24-second celebration timer before game reset ⏱️
  • Victory Text: Winner's floater displays "✨ ULTIMATE VICTORY! ✨" and "🏆 ULTIMATE SURVIVOR 🏆"
  • Victory celebration with confetti effects! ✨
  • Winner's name recorded on the leaderboard

🎲 DICE SCALING SYSTEM

The game automatically selects appropriate dice to ensure fair gameplay:

1-2 players d6 6 numbers (1-6)
3-4 players d12 12 numbers (1-12)
5-6 players d20 20 numbers (1-20)
7-10 players d30 30 numbers (1-30)

This ensures exactly 3 numbers per player are always available

🎭 DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

The game features thematic messaging for maximum immersion:

  • "💀 [Player] has entered the deadly game! Welcome to your potential doom! 💀"
  • "⚔️ [Player] steels themselves for the deadly challenge ahead! ⚔️"
  • "🏃 [Player] loses their nerve and backs away from the challenge! 🏃"
  • "⚡ THE KILLING GAME BEGINS! ⚡"
  • "✨ ULTIMATE VICTORY! [Player] is the Ultimate Survivor! ✨"

🎯 STRATEGY TIPS

As a Regular Player:
