The game

A grid of shapes is posted under a rule — ALL RED, ALL CONVEX, ALL UNDER 24° — and exactly one shape secretly breaks it. Spot the traitor before the timer burns down and the red SPOTTED stamp drops on its cell. Rounds escalate from six tiles to over twenty and rotate through eight rule families: kind, color, fill, side count, size, tilt angle, convexity and sharp corners. A false accusation flashes the board red, resets your streak and eats a third of the clock, so second-guessing costs. Everything is drawn as a Bauhaus poster: circles, triangles and squares in red, yellow and blue on cream with big geometric type.
