Every square is worth a hundred dollars, and cameras are hidden among them. Open a square and it tells you how many cameras touch it, so the numbers are the only map you get. Every safe square you open is money kept out of the watchers' hands, and your score is the money. Open every square that has no camera and you keep all of it. Open a camera and you are on the record, and you keep nothing. Name a camera by holding a square, by right clicking it, or by turning marking on and tapping, and the counter shows how many are still unnamed. Tap a number whose cameras are all named and the squares around it open, so name carefully: a wrong name opens a camera. The first square you open, and every square around it, is always safe.

The cameras in this game

Flock cameras are license plate readers that Flock Safety sells to police departments, cities, neighborhood associations and stores. Mounted on poles under a small solar panel, they photograph every passing car, read its plate and log its make, color and marks like a bumper sticker. A department that turns on one setting lets police across the country search its cameras without a warrant: more than 450,000 searches in one month of 2025, including by Border Patrol. Officers have been charged with using them to stalk people: one in Kentucky is accused of searching them more than 2,000 times in five months to track a woman.
