SOCKETHEROES

SocketHeroes

Socket Heroes, are you ready to connect together?!

The town has gone dark! Four unlikely heroes with glowing sockets and Velcro plugs, twisting and tangling to match the colour sequence, are its only hope.

Plug in, power up and light the town once more! ⚡

The mission

SocketHeroes is a cooperative full-body game. Every hero wears 2 sockets with LED strips and carries 2 plugs. Stretch, bend and twist to connect to each other and follow the sequence of colours. It’s the only way to bring the light back to everyone’s homes.

How to play

1. The town, now without light, shows the colour sequence to reproduce.
2. Connect to the town’s socket and start the chain.
3. The players must follow the sequence and connect to the correct colored socket on their bodies
4. Only the last hero who connected can continue the chain.
5. No self-connections: you can’t plug into your own sockets.
6. If you pull out a link near the start, every link after it goes dark again.
7. Complete the whole sequence and the town lights up. 

What the lights tell you

• Socket Blinking White: wrong move (you plugged into yourself, you weren’t the last hero, wrong colour, or broken chain). The whole town then flashes red.
• Rainbow Blinking on sockets and town: you did it, the power is back!!!
