It’s 1988 and you are “The Midnighters,” a group of mischievous kids from the neighborhood.

For years you’ve listen to your gramps spill his suspicions about Mick having it stashed away in his gym...but no one’s ever had the guts to sneak in to find out.

With the value of lunar rocks soaring on the black market, the time is now to recover the moon. Break into the old boxing club and follow where the mystery leads you...but watch out because ol’ Mick’s probably already expecting you...

Fast forward to the future. Year: 2084. The past decades have been devastating on humanity, and the only thing that’s survived is an AI corporation called Invisicom. Recognizing humans couldn’t be trusted to govern themselves, Invisicom created a shiny new world and evolved to become THE superpower.

Now Invisicom controls EVERYTHING. The good news is that everyone is happy. The bad news is that you don’t have a choice about it. In this new world, happiness is mandatory.

Your group of “Resistors” believe the world shouldn’t be brainwashed by a central computer.

It’s rumored that the Mother Computer herself lives in one of the “Happiness Testing Facilities” where the unhappy folks are sent. The only way to gain access is to subject yourself to the exams and risk being permanently deleted if you fail. 

Can you pass Invisicom’s “happiness exams” and figure out a way to crash Mother Computer’s system?

Whatever you do, remember happiness is mandatory…Mother Computer has her eye on you…

Must be age 14+ to play
