FRIDAY NIGHT RAT CATCHERS

Beneath the shimmer of a disco ball, lucky contestants dance like they have the world on a string. An irresistible bassline drives and the martinis never run dry. What could go wrong?

Cement punctures the dancehall, the party grinds to a halt, and an inky night belches to the surface. The Host has reconfigured the game. Ripped headfirst from their shrimp cocktail, gameplay unfolds at breakneck speed.
