As in ''999'', each of them have numbered bracelets attached to their wrists and will be killed if they break the rules. However, there's a twist: to escape the warehouse, players must accumulate points by splitting into groups of three (comprised of teams of two players paired and one player solo) and completing deadly challenges. Nine points will reward a player with freedom, but losing all their points will greet a player with death. Reminiscent of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma Prisoner's Dilemma], teams can choose to betray their partnered team in order to steal points from them, but if both teams choose to betray then neither gain anything.
