MadHouse: A Fast-Paced Online Social Strategy Game
MadHouse is Socipic's fast online social strategy game for real players who love reality TV competition. Form alliances, compete for power, nominate, use veto, count votes, survive eliminations, and manage the jury before the house turns on someone new.
How MadHouse Works
Enroll from the Play page and wait for the house to fill. Once the game starts, each week moves through timed power competitions, nominations, veto decisions, and an eviction vote against real people.
The pressure is speed. You need enough trust to survive the vote, enough presence to avoid becoming an easy target, and enough timing to grab power when it appears.
Private Chats
One-on-one and group conversations are where deals, blindsides, vote checks, and damage control happen before the house sees the result.
Competitions
HoH and POV power come from quick mini-game scores. The competition window is short, so missing the moment can cost you safety or control.
Jury
Evicted players can become jurors. The endgame is not just surviving votes; it is leaving people willing to reward your game.
The Weekly Cycle
MadHouse compresses the house-game loop into a five-day week. Every day has a job, and every job can change who is in danger.
Day 1
HoH
The week starts with a Head of Household competition. The winner gains power and is safe while shaping the week.
Day 2
Nominations
The HoH names two nominees. If you are on the block, your social work and veto odds become urgent.
Day 3
POV
The Power of Veto competition gives one player a chance to protect a nominee or keep the nominations the same.
Day 4
Veto Decision
If veto is used, the HoH may need to name a replacement nominee. The final block locks before the vote.
Day 5
Eviction
The house votes, one player leaves, and the next week begins unless the game has reached the final jury vote.
Competitions and Power
HoH controls the week. POV can break the plan. The house can still flip the vote, so power is strongest when it comes with numbers.
3:30 Competition Window
Competition days use a fast timer. Submit before the window closes or the rest of the house may decide the power without you.
Rotating Mini-Games
The rotation can include Word Search, Number Rush, Plinko, Y2Krazy, Perfect Match, Deal or No Deal, and more.
POV Players
The POV field can include the HoH, nominees, and drawn players, so even people off the block may decide whether the week changes.
MadHouse Moves Fast
Most game days only last a few minutes. If everyone required for a stage submits early, the game can also move forward before the full timer expires.

Power, Veto, and the Vote
Every week is a chain reaction. Winning power gives you control, but every choice leaves evidence for the rest of the house.
Head of Household
The HoH is safe for the week, nominates two players, and may need to name a replacement nominee if veto is used. In most rounds, the previous HoH cannot immediately win HoH again.
Nominees
Nominees are officially in danger. They cannot evict each other during the final vote, so they need veto, votes, or both.
Power of Veto
The veto winner can save a nominee or keep the block the same. If veto is used, the HoH chooses an eligible replacement nominee.
Eviction Vote
The final nominees face the house vote. The nominee with the most votes is evicted. If the vote ties, the HoH can break it.
The Social Game
MadHouse is not only competitions. The conversations around the competitions are where the house decides who is useful, dangerous, disposable, or worth protecting.
Public House Chat
The main room is where players campaign, make promises, call people out, discuss nominations, react, and try to influence the house.
Private Messages
Private messages are for alliances, deals, shared information, vote plans, veto talks, warnings, and Final 2 agreements.
Group Chats
Groups can coordinate quickly without messaging everyone separately, which matters because MadHouse moves fast.
Jury Chat
Jurors can compare notes, discuss the remaining players, and decide how they feel about the Final 2.
Endgame and Jury
The further you get, the less room there is to hide. The people you evict can become the people deciding whether you win.
The Game Gets Harder
As the house shrinks, there are fewer people to nominate, fewer votes to hide behind, and fewer places to stay quiet.
Final Four
The normal HoH, nomination, veto, and eviction structure continues. POV can become especially important because replacement options are limited.
Final Three
The HoH automatically nominates the other two players and becomes the sole eviction voter, choosing who reaches the Final 2.
Final Two
The jury votes for the winner. Jurors can judge competition wins, loyalty, betrayal, strategy, deals, social bonds, and overall gameplay.
If Time Runs Out
MadHouse is designed to keep moving. The safest approach is simple: make your decisions before the timer runs out.
If You Do Not Submit
MadHouse keeps moving. If a required decision expires, the game can auto-resolve it so the house is not stuck waiting.
Evicted Players
Your placement is recorded. If you land in a jury placement, you move into the jury side and can help decide the winner later.
Fame and Fortune
Final placement can pay Fame and Fortune. Higher placements earn larger rewards, with the winner receiving the largest payout.
Quick Tips
The short version: win competitions, build relationships, make deals, nominate carefully, use veto strategically, survive the vote, and manage the jury.
- Watch the timer and submit before it runs out.
- Talk to people even when you are not in power.
- Do not rely on one alliance forever.
- Think carefully before nominating someone.
- Take veto competitions seriously.
- Know where the votes are before eviction.
- Remember that jurors may vote for or against you later.
- Keep playing even when you feel safe.
Fame and Fortune Payouts
Better placements pay more. Fame raises your standing, while Fortune gives you more to spend around Socipic.
