FOUR WORLDS. ONE BAD CHOICE.

Game Stories

Every game on NOT IT! starts with the same simple idea:

Someone is going to get picked.

But instead of watching a number appear on a screen, you get a story.

A secret rocket facility. A rooftop full of alien balloons. Something moving beneath Antarctic ice. A closed circus filled with forgotten crates.

Take your turn and enter the story.

Just hope you're not the one who finds out how it ends.

MISSION 01

DON'T LAUNCH IT!

STEAL THE SECRET. DON’T LAUNCH THE ROCKET.

It’s long after midnight when you slip into a classified rocket research facility.

The halls are nearly empty. Security lights sweep across the complex while a massive experimental rocket waits outside on the launch pad.

Eventually, you reach the control room.

Through a reinforced observation window, the rocket towers over the facility. In front of you is a console packed with unfamiliar switches, glowing controls, gauges and monitors.

You came here for one reason: find the rocket’s secrets.

Unfortunately, none of the controls are labeled.

So you start testing them.

One control changes a monitor. Another moves a gauge. Another does absolutely nothing.

Most of them are harmless.

But somewhere on that console is the real launch control.

And if you press it, the room won’t stay quiet for long.

Press the controls. Find the secret. Just don’t launch the rocket.

MISSION 02

FREE THE ALIEN

CUT THE STRINGS. DON’T FREE THE REAL ONE.

You’ve broken into a classified extraterrestrial research facility.

After sneaking through restricted corridors and avoiding security, you find a way onto the rooftop.

That’s where things get strange.

Floating above the roof are several enormous alien-shaped balloons.

Green heads. Black eyes. Long strings tied into a complicated restraint system.

They look like harmless research props.

So you decide to cut them loose.

One by one, the strings snap.

A balloon drifts into the night sky.

Then another.

Then another.

But the researchers didn’t bring all of these things onto the roof because they were decorating.

One of them isn’t a balloon.

One of them is alive.

And once you cut the wrong string, you may realize that you were never really the one studying the alien.

Cut the strings. Don’t free the real one.

MISSION 03

WHAT'S UNDER THE ICE?

FIND THE PENGUINS. AVOID THE PREDATOR.

Your research team has detected penguin activity beneath a large Antarctic ice field.

The problem is that nobody knows exactly where they are.

So you head onto the ice to investigate.

The frozen surface stretches out in front of you. Beneath it is a dark ocean full of shadows, fish and movement you can barely see.

There is only one way to find the penguins.

Break the ice.

You choose a section and crack it open.

Water rushes into view.

Sometimes a curious penguin pops through the opening.

That’s exactly what you came here to find.

But the penguins aren’t alone.

Something much larger is moving beneath the ice.

Fish scatter when it passes.

A shadow slips through the deep water.

And every new hole gives it another chance to find you first.

Keep searching for the penguins. Just remember that something else is hunting too.

MISSION 04

DON'T OPEN THAT!

OPEN THE CRATES. DON’T FIND THE CLOWN.

The circus closed hours ago.

The crowds are gone. The lights are off. The tents and stages should be empty.

Naturally, you decide to sneak inside.

Behind the main stage, you discover an old storage room filled with wooden crates.

Some are huge. Some are small. Some look like they haven’t been opened in years.

You begin checking them.

One contains juggling balls.

Another holds an old magician’s hat.

You find hoops, costumes, cards, drums and strange forgotten circus props.

Most of the boxes are exactly what they appear to be.

Most.

Because somewhere in the storage room is one crate that was never meant to be opened.

And whatever is inside has been waiting very patiently.

Open the crates. Find the props. Just don’t find the clown.
