Vaults

A real-time bluffing game about greed, betrayal, and reading the room. Play it with your friends, Puter users, or AI bots.

Every round, a row of vaults appears, each stuffed with coins. You and your crew secretly pick one to crack. The catch is in the math:

Crack it alone and you take everything inside.
Two of you hit the same vault and you split the take.
Three or more pile in and the alarm trips. Nobody walks away with a cent.

Before you commit, there's a discussion phase. You publicly declare where you're headed, spend a few minutes scheming, and try to steer everyone else off the fattest vault so you can have it to yourself. But declarations are just talk. Nothing you say is binding, and lying isn't just allowed, it's the entire game.

Then you lock in your real target in secret. If you think you've read a rival, you can tip off where they're really going. Call it right and you steal two coins straight off their pile.

An Honesty Ledger tracks who keeps their word and who doesn't, so every bluff you tell follows you into the next round. Reputation is a weapon, and so is throwing it away at the right moment.

Six rounds. Most coins wins. Trust no one, including yourself.
