RuleShift: Lock In - Get Shifty with 8-round party game where time ruins scores.
by•
Eight rounds. Four rule families. Choose, read the room, and lock in with friends. RuleShift is a browser-based party game for 2–8 players. Every round brings a new rule, and locking in a correct answer earlier earns more points. Play solo, create a private room with friends, or try public matchmaking. No installation or player account required.

I created RuleShift for the Handshake × OpenAI multiplayer game challenge. I wanted to build something that friends could jump into from separate devices without installing an app.
The challenge was coordinating multiplayer timing and scoring while keeping gameplay simple. I directed the project and used ChatGPT and Codex to assist with implementation and testing.
The game is playable now, with ongoing production hardening. I'd appreciate feedback on the gameplay, particularly how the lock-in timing feels.
