Our take on Mayhemers
The role-based match design focuses on short-term objectives, pursuit, and escape rather than broader progression or narrative development. That trade-off keeps attention on immediate team conflict, but gives less room for players seeking a sustained campaign structure or long-term character development.
What is Mayhemers?
Mayhemers is a multiplayer game for up to 8 players, set on procedurally generated maps.
Players choose between two opposing roles. Mayhemers create disorder by damaging the environment, igniting fires, causing explosions, defeating people, and earning Chaos Points. They must reach an escape area with teammates before the timer expires. Guardians try to defeat every Mayhemer or prevent the required Chaos Point total from being reached before time runs out. Guardians can capture defeated Mayhemers and place them in prison, preventing their return until other players rescue them. The match structure centers on competing objectives, timed escapes, pursuit, imprisonment, and rescue.
