The Mole [Updated - Apply Now!]

[mastermind]

Twelve people
Ten weeks
One million dollars

These players have to work together to earn money that only one of them will win. But one of them will be asked to deceive the others, and sabotage their missions. They must become a saboteur...a traitor...the mole. The players must figure out who the mole is, while the mole must cover his or her track to avoid detection. In the end, only one can win. Can you figure it out?

Who is the mole?

Rules

Challenges

~ Each week the group plays 3 challenges to earn money for the pot, that could grow up to one million dollars.
~ But one of the players is a mole, a double agent working to sabotage the groups efforts by preventing them to pass the challenges.
~ No one knows who the mole is so no one knows whom they can trust.

Quizzes and Eliminations

~ At the end of each week, every player takes a quiz.
~ The player who scores lowest on the quiz is executed, and must leave the game immediately.

Other Stuff

~ If the group pot reaches a certain amount of money, the mole automatically loses. This number will only be known between myself and the mole.
~ If at any round all players correctly identify the mole, the mole automatically loses.
~ If the mole can successfully prevent the above two rules from happening, the mole wins.

It is a simple game: be observant, expose the mole, claim the money. Each player has a strategy, but only one will win.

I thought about Traitor or Saboteur but figured that people would just say mole instead.

Alliances/coalitions are made in the mole so that's not a big surprise, but I get what Blackberry means. The thing is if you're trying to align with the mole here you are giving a significant advantage to the mole in terms of adding money to their own pot, which is how you win the game.

But that plan can only work if one of you is the mole right? Otherwise you're basically playing the game. I was only trying to be creative/different and still try to make the incentive of players playing to win the missions and the mole trying to sabotage as best as he can.

: Is each round's mole revealed afterwards, or is it kept secret?

It was going to be kept secret.

I have all the challenges and stuff so I really don't mind making this just another mole game if that draws more interest.

Right so I guess I'll just scrap that idea.

One final idea, in one of the versions of the mole (italy I think?) the players would vote who they think is the mole and the 2 or 3 people that got the most votes were the only ones to take the quiz. I'm probably just going to set it up like previous moles, but that was also something that came to mind.

Updated the rules to make it basically normal.
