What are Live Reality Games?
Live Reality Games (LRGs) are immersive, fan-created competitions where players come together to challenge themselves socially, physically, and strategically. Inspired by popular reality TV shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Challenge, these games put a unique spin on familiar formats; often introducing original twists, challenges, and storytelling elements.
LRGs vary widely in scale and style. Some are one-day backyard events among friends, while others span multiple days at campgrounds with players traveling from across the country. Many games incorporate formal casting processes and live-streaming.
At their core, LRGs are about adventure, community, and competition, bringing fans together to create unforgettable experiences and, of course, earn ultimate bragging rights. (And prize money!)
What is glitch?
Glitch is a chaotic social strategy game that brings together elements of popular reality competitions like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Challenge into a completely original format. Designed to keep players constantly thinking, adapting, and second-guessing, Glitch pushes competitors to navigate both the social and strategic complexities of the game while facing intense, custom-built challenges.
The game takes place over six days and five nights in a shared Airbnb, where players live, compete, and strategize together. All meals are provided, players receive exclusive swag, and every competition is uniquely designed to test a wide range of skills… from physical endurance to puzzle-solving and teamwork. At stake is not only ultimate bragging rights, but also a $1,000 grand prize.
But in Glitch, nothing stays predictable for long. Twists, shifts, and unexpected changes can happen at any moment, forcing players to pivot their strategies in real time. Success in Glitch isn’t just about planning ahead. It’s about adapting to the unknown, staying one step ahead of the chaos, and surviving a game where the system itself is never fully stable.
What is the format?
No two seasons of Glitch are identical and the format will change often. Players will be deleted from the game via vote or by losing a showdown. Each season’s format is kept on lockdown and only the producers know until gametime!
rules
The rules of the game may seem simple, but the game? That’s anything but simple.
First and foremost, your safety is our top priority. We’re here for a competitive experience, but no dangerous behavior will be tolerated. If a task or showdown involves any physical activity, we’ve made sure it’s safe for everyone involved. If you’re hurt or feeling unwell, let the hosts know immediately. We’ll pause the game to assess if you’re fit to continue. Your health and safety come first!
We also want everyone to feel safe emotionally. Respect each other at all times. Any form of harassment, bullying, or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. If you’re feeling uncomfortable or need support, any of the hosts will be ready to help you. Remember, this is a competition, but kindness and respect are non-negotiable. Play hard, but keep it fair.
Here’s a big one: no cheating or manipulating the game. This means no outside help, no trying to hack the system, and no unfair tricks to get ahead. If you cheat, you’re out–simple as that. We want everyone to have an equal chance, and the only way to do that is by playing fair. Also, you’re here to play, so no contact with the outside world. As stated in each interview, if you need to use your phone, you will be permitted to use it with admin supervision.
Now, when it comes to the showdowns: follow the instructions exactly as they’re given. If you skip a step or fail to complete a task as directed, your progress won’t count. You have to play it by the book.
Let's talk about deletions: you’re here to win, but not everyone can make it to the end. At the end of each round, someone will be deleted. If someone is deleted from the game, there is to be no game talk with that person whatsoever, in order to keep things fair for all players still in the game. If you break the rules, there will be consequences. If you cheat, break the rules, or act in a way that disrupts the game, you will be penalized. If it’s serious enough, you’ll be deleted.
Hosts are here to keep things running smoothly, so if there’s ever a problem or dispute, trust that we’ll handle it. Our decisions are final. Phone are confiscated for the duration of the game to protect its integrity. No laptops, tablets, or smart watches are permitted.
Failure to abide by the rules may result in penalties, removal from the game, or removal from the property.
