OUTSIDE

DARES REALITY GAME SHOW — WITH CAMERAS, NEIGHBORS, AND ESCALATION.
Your friends dare you. Then lie, sabotage, and bet on your failure.
Fail the dare, and you’re sent OUTSIDE — escalating into strangers, neighbors,
and if you fail again, a real-world dare is next.
Camera / IRL Mode is optional. Phone camera supported.

• OUTSIDE is a multiplayer dares game built entirely around real social pressure.
  Inspired by classic Truth or Dare, OUTSIDE adds three core twists: game show escalation, real neighbors, and real life cameras.

• OUTSIDE is designed to create real reactions, real tension, and moments you'll be talking about long after the session ends.
  Every session ramps up as players dare, sabotage, and expose each other - creating awkward, hilarious, and unforgettable situations.

• In most games, the danger is scripted.
  In OUTSIDE, the danger is your friends — and the neighbors.

🎮 HOW IT WORKS

• 2–4 players required per house

• Neighbors are auto-matched with you

  When neighbors aren’t available, the game uses in-game and IRL consequences instead.

• A microphone is required so the neighbors can hear you.
  In-game voice chat is required — Discord mutes you to neighbors.

📷 CAMERA / IRL MODE (OPTIONAL)

Camera mode is optional and not required to enjoy the game — but it dramatically amplifies the experience.

• No webcam? Your phone camera is supported via third-party tools like Iriun . com

• You can disable the camera at any time.

▶️ HOW IT PLAYS

• Each session is an escalating 35 minutes game show that ends with a recap of the mastermind, hero, and villain.

• Your friends dare you. Then lie, sabotage, and bet on your failure.

• You'll spin a bottle, and 2 players will be selected: an author, and a target.
  The author will choose or customize a dare to the target, along with choosing a timer.
  Base dares can be literally anything, but usually happen inside the house and involve physics like throwing a ball into a cup, or making a tower of objects, etc.

• The author is the judge of the dare, they must choose if the target succeeded or failed.
  But they may lie, or change their mind, or shift and evolve the dare as it happens.
  The deeper you are into the show, the more the author is incentivized to go against you.

• If you fail a dare, you're forced OUTSIDE—to do crazy things in front of real player neighbors in-game who are watching and reacting to your every move.
  And it goes both ways. The neighbors will also come knocking on your door while you play.

• An IRL Dare is triggered if you fail an OUTSIDE neighbors dare! (only if you enabled IRL Mode & camera).

• Felt wronged? Use the REVENGE feature to avenge the author.
  Customize a special neighbors/IRL dare to make sure they regret and suffer for what they've done to you, and maybe they'll think twice before failing you again.

• Spectators can bet and interfere. Help your friend, or sabotage them?
  Spectators may also be dragged in based on what the dare is, and if there is a special modifier.

• Truth questions are not currently built into the game, since they are made mostly irrelevant due to all the other content the game provides. But you may still use any custom dare prompt to ask a truth question if you wish.

• Hot tip: gift this to the friend who always says "I’d never do that"

🔐 PRIVACY & SAFETY

When the camera is enabled:

• Only the maximum 4 neighboring players can see you

• All connections are peer-to-peer

• No camera data is sent to any central server

Other players may stream or record gameplay, including moments where your camera is visible.

If you prefer, you can play in Private Sessions, which disable neighbors entirely. Find the private session checkbox on the matchmaking play button, available only for the host.
