Master the Art of Deception in Counterweight

Welcome to Counterweight, the ultimate social deduction game where physical gameplay meets psychological warfare. Your team objective is simple: work together to stack blocks and construct a towering monument to reach specific heights. However, tension rises as you realize a Saboteur is hidden among the ranks, carefully nudging blocks, causing intentional structural failures, and systematically eliminating players. In this intense physics-based building game, every fallen block serves as a potential clue—or a devastating setback for your construction team.

How to Play and Survive

Success depends on your ability to observe behavior and manage chaos. Navigate the core gameplay loop to uncover the traitor before your tower crumbles:

• Strategic Construction: Retrieve blocks from the quarry and decide where to place them. Will you play it safe to keep the structure stable, or take bold risks that keep the Saboteur guessing?
• Investigation: Keep a close eye on your peers. Who seems to be sabotaging the progress? Who is lurking near the tower when it collapses? Track suspicious inventory items and narrow down the suspects.
• Execution and Accusation: Once a suspect is identified, call a vote to put them to sleep. Choose wisely; guessing incorrectly eliminates a loyal builder and brings the Saboteur one step closer to victory.

Equip Yourself with Chaotic Tools

The island is filled with an unpredictable arsenal. Players can scavenge over 20 unique items, ranging from jetpacks and smoke bombs to game-changing gadgets that blur the line between building and battling. While builders focus on the construction, the Saboteur gains access to secret tools designed to turn the environment against the team. Because items randomize every round, no two sessions of multiplayer mayhem ever play the same.

Utilize the Tribute Altar

Need a definitive answer? Gather tributes scattered across the map and place them on the Tribute Altar to forge the Impostor Detector. This powerful scanning tool is the builders' best insurance policy, but be warned: the Saboteur will do whatever it takes to hoard tributes and prevent the truth from coming to light. Will you successfully identify the enemy, or will you fall for their clever misdirection?

Death is Merely the Beginning

Being removed from the building site doesn't mean your experience is over. If you are killed or kicked, you return as a Phantom. Explore the map as a spectral observer, watching the ensuing chaos unfold from the afterlife alongside other fallen players.
