THE MAPLE GROVE CLARION

★ EXTRA ★   1950   ★ Five Cents ★
IS THERE A RED AMONG US?

Senator demands hearings · Neighbors eye neighbors · “I have here in my hand a list!”

Secret briefing: you are the Red Imposter. You're a Soviet agent hiding in plain sight in a 1950s American town. Your mission is to spread communism and turn Maple Grove against itself.

  • Charge up ★: run spy missions at glowing stations and answer the intel question.
  • Convert a townsperson (Q) when no one is watching. Look for the 👁 counter.
  • Blackout (F) cuts the lights, so townsfolk can barely see.
  • Manholes (E) are secret tunnels, but don't get seen using one.
  • Hearings: the town votes on who to blacklist with almost no evidence. Point the finger to steer the blame.
  • Every innocent person blacklisted feeds the hysteria.
  • You win if hysteria hits 100% or your converts equal the loyal townsfolk.
  • You lose if you're blacklisted, or if the calendar reaches December 1954, when the real Red Scare began to fade.
