Player User Guide
SPKTRM is a live social strategy game played inside a shopping mall. You find other players nearby, read how they tend to play, choose an action in a short confrontation, and earn SPX points that you can exchange for store offers.
This guide explains each part of the player app, using the labels you see on screen.
Availability
SPKTRM is launching in 2027. The public waitlist is not open yet.
The player app at app.spktrm.net/play is a preview. It is open only to people the SPKTRM team has invited, through SPKTRM Founders Access.
In the preview, the game runs inside your browser:
- The other players you meet are simulated players, not real people.
- Your profile, points, vouchers and history are saved only in this browser. Another browser or device starts fresh.
- Sign-in uses a team access code, not a text message, and your phone number is not verified.
- Entering the mall is simulated with SIMULATE ENTERING MALL. The app does not use your real location.
- Store offers and vouchers are demonstration data. A store cannot redeem a preview voucher.
The loop in one line
Find. Read. Outplay. Find a player near you, read their behavioral index, choose Team up, Take or Turn, and see both actions revealed together. Points move, and your own behavioral index moves with them.
