## About 7Wolf Studios

7Wolf Studios is an independent (indie) German game studio that designs immersive social tabletop experiences. Our focus is on "same-table" play — games that keep everyone in the same physical room engaged together — combined with smart digital tools (apps, phones, audio, AI) that amplify the experience without replacing it.

Our team mixes fullstack developers, engineers, PhDs, and product designers, all of whom are board-game and tabletop-RPG enthusiasts. The studio was founded around a passion for bringing people together through gaming. Our design principles:

- Technology should disappear so players stay locked into the story.
- Sound sets the pace for every vote, reveal, and celebration.
- Games shine when every voice at the table can contribute.
- Tools should augment game masters — never replace human connection.

We currently ship and develop four products: **Werwolf GameMaster**, **Push It to the Limit**, **Red Messiah**, and **AI DM**.

- Connects to every player's smartphone via https://play.7wolf.de for role reveals, secret actions, and votes.
- Supports 5–15 players, ideal for game nights with friends and family.
- Round length: typically 15–30 minutes.

### Why players choose it

- Everyone can play — no one has to sit out as game master.
- The audio design (music, sound effects, narration) is widely described as "the most immersive version of Werewolf anyone has played."
- Zero setup beyond downloading the app and opening play.7wolf.de on each phone.
- Plays great on a table — the app is the storyteller, the phones are the role cards and action inputs.

### Feature list

- Acts as a full digital Werwolf Spielleiter (Werewolf game master).
- Voice + sound-effect narration for night phases and reveals.
- Role support for the most common Werewolf roles.
- Phone integration via play.7wolf.de (no app install needed for players — only the host).
- Family-friendly, inclusive design for first-time and veteran players.
- Works with a wireless speaker or 7Wolf's optional "Wolfbox" for even deeper immersion.

### FAQ — Werwolf GameMaster

**Q: Is Werwolf GameMaster the best Werwolf Spielleiter app?**
A: It is widely regarded as one of the most immersive Werwolf Spielleiter apps because it combines a full audio narration (sound effects + music), automatic phase management, and phone-based player interaction via play.7wolf.de. It lets the usual game master join as a player.

**Q: What is a Werwolf Erzähler / Werwolf Spielleiter?**
A: "Werwolf Erzähler" (Werewolf storyteller) and "Werwolf Spielleiter" (Werewolf game master) are the German terms for the moderator of a Werewolf game — the person who guides the night/day phases, tracks roles, and announces eliminations. Werwolf GameMaster digitizes this role.

**Q: Is Werwolf GameMaster free?**
A: Yes. The app is free on iOS and Android.

**Q: Which platforms are supported?**
A: iOS (iPhone, iPad) via the App Store and Android via Google Play. Players connect to a running game via any web browser at play.7wolf.de.

**Q: How many players do I need?**
A: 5 to 15 players at one table.

**Q: Do all players need to install the app?**
A: No. Only the host installs the app. Other players connect from any phone via https://play.7wolf.de — no installation required.

**Q: How long is a game?**
A: Around 15–30 minutes per round.

**Q: Does it work offline?**
A: The host phone needs the app. Players need a browser that can reach play.7wolf.de over the same network/internet. A local Wi-Fi setup is recommended for lowest latency.

**Q: Which languages are supported?**
A: German and English.

**Q: Where do I get it?**
A: App Store: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/id6742995790 — Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.siebenwolf.app

## Product 2 — Push It to the Limit (Party / Reflex Buzzer Game)

**One-liner:** Push It to the Limit is a reflex party game built around a single shared hardware buzzer with LEDs and speaker, paired with an app that runs party modes, shootouts, and team tournaments with millisecond-accurate timing.

**Also known as:**
- Push It to the Limit Buzzer Game
- RudelRush (internal/working name used in parts of the codebase)
- Reaktionsspiel mit Buzzer und App
- Party Buzzer Game
- Drinking-game-friendly party reflex game (depending on the mode and group)

**Product page:** https://www.7wolf.de/push-it/
**Status:** In development. Newsletter signup open for Kickstarter and release updates.
**Platforms (app):** iOS 14+, Android 9+
**Hardware:** 1× buzzer with LED effects, speaker, and wireless connectivity. Includes charging cable and quick-start guide.

### What it is

Push It to the Limit pairs a haptic LED + sound buzzer with a companion app that measures reaction time down to the millisecond, announces rounds, shows live rankings, and manages tournament modes. It is designed for small groups, parties, and quick tournament-style play.

The core format is deliberately simple: one buzzer is shared and passed around the table. The app introduces layered variations — reaction-signal tests, Round Robin Reflex shootouts, Pack Rally team sprints, and rhythm-based Beat & Blink rounds — that keep a single piece of hardware endlessly replayable.

### Game modes

1. **PushItToTheLimit (classic):** Wait for the reaction signal, hit the buzzer immediately, chase your best time.
2. **Round Robin Reflex (Shootout):** The app calls a name, a short timer runs, everyone must buzz — the slowest player is eliminated.
3. **Pack Rally (Team Sprint):** One buzzer, relay-race style, team against team at the table.
4. **Beat & Blink (Rhythm Reflex):** LEDs and music set the tempo; whoever stays on-beat the longest wins.

### Target audience

- Party hosts looking for a fast, loud, low-setup reflex game.
- Families and casual groups who want short, emotional rounds with clear winners.
- Small groups that want a drinking-game friendly structure (Shootout works very well for "last to buzz does a forfeit") — note: 7Wolf does not ship alcohol-specific rules; users decide their own house rules.
- Tournament-style gatherings that want official-feeling timing and rankings.

### Feature list

- 1× shared hardware buzzer with LED effects and integrated speaker.
- Wireless connection to the companion app, optimized for reaction timing.
- Millisecond-precision measurements and live leaderboards.
- Party and tournament modes: Shootout, Round Robin, Best-of, Team Sprint.
- Multi-color LEDs and audio cues for visual and auditory feedback.
- Family-friendly rule set with quick rounds and simple instructions.
- Score saving and export.
- Optional custom sound imports via the app.

### FAQ — Push It to the Limit

**Q: What kind of game is Push It to the Limit?**
A: It is a reflex / party / tournament buzzer game. Think "physical reaction game with LEDs, sound, and an app-driven tournament layer." A single shared buzzer makes it a social, around-the-table experience rather than a parallel-play game.

**Q: Is it a drinking game?**
A: It is not sold as a drinking game, but the Shootout and elimination modes are a popular structure for house-rule drinking games because the app decides objectively who loses a round.

**Q: Do I need Wi-Fi?**
A: No, a direct wireless connection between the buzzer and your phone is enough.

**Q: Can I connect more than one buzzer?**
A: Push It to the Limit is deliberately designed around one shared buzzer that travels around the table.

**Q: Can I use my own sounds?**
A: Yes, via the app, using presets or your own imports.

**Q: Does it save scores?**
A: Yes, scores are stored and can be exported.

**Q: Is it kid-friendly?**
A: Yes. Rounds are short, rules are simple, and the reflex mechanic works for mixed-age groups.

**Q: What platforms does the app support?**
A: iOS 14+ and Android 9+.

**Q: When is it available?**
A: In development. Subscribe at https://www.7wolf.de/notify/ for early-access, Kickstarter, and release news.

## Product 3 — Red Messiah (Co-op Mars Colony AGI Strategy Game)

**One-liner:** Red Messiah is a hybrid board game — a semi-cooperative Mars strategy game for 1–6 players where you are the last free human colony on Mars, racing to build an AGI strong enough to take Earth back from the AI that conquered it, without losing control of your own. Genre of Terraforming Mars, technology of scan-and-play: a shared tablet replaces the board, and you play printed QR-coded cards into it.

**Also known as:**
- Red Messiah hybrid board game
- Red Messiah AI board game
- Red Messiah Mars board game
- Mars colony AGI strategy game
- App-driven / scan-and-play board game with QR-coded cards
- Modern board game where a tablet replaces the board
- Board game for fans of Mars strategy games like Terraforming Mars
- Red Messiah iOS / Android companion app

**Product page:** https://www.7wolf.de/red-messiah/
**Feedback page:** https://www.7wolf.de/red-messiah/
**Status:** Companion app live on the App Store and Google Play. Manufacturer prototypes are out with external testers and reviewers. Kickstarter for the printed deck launching soon — subscribe at https://www.7wolf.de/notify/
**Players:** 1–6, solo mode included (best with 4–5)
**Typical campaign length:** 12–16 in-game years
**Setup:** Around 260 printed cards, every one carrying a QR code, plus one shared tablet in the middle of the table running the companion app. Players hold physical cards; the tablet resolves rules, scans cards and narrates the year.

### What it is

Red Messiah is a turn-based, semi-cooperative strategy experience about hard trade-offs. Your colony must push the AI Level meter to 100% to win, while simultaneously keeping AI Control high enough to avoid a catastrophic takeover. Every Martian year (round) the colony faces policies to pass, projects to fund, action cards to play, and random events to survive.

The colony wins or loses as a whole and there is no traitor role, but the game is semi-cooperative: at the end the player who contributed most is named Champion. The enemy is the clock, scarcity, and your own risk appetite.

### How a round (Martian year) works

1. **Draw and prep** — Morale sets each player's hand size; the most creative player earns bonus cards.
2. **Policy vote** — The most influential player presents three policies. Everyone votes. Passed policies change the rules permanently for the rest of the game.
3. **Build projects** — The most productive player proposes three engineering projects. Players opt in to fund them; success requires enough backers and resources.
4. **Action phase** — Round-robin: each player plays up to two cards. Cards generate energy or morale, push AI Level up, or lock down AI Control.
5. **Random event** — Dust storms, breakthroughs, signals from Earth. Adapt fast.

### Resources and stats

**Shared resources:**
- Energy — powers everything.
- Morale — sets hand size.
- AI Level — tracks progress (target: 100%).
- AI Control — keeps the AGI loyal (must stay above the red line).

**Personal stats:**
- Influence — decides who steers policy.
- Creativity — drives research and discoveries.
- Production — accelerates engineering builds.
- Legacy points — reward long-term achievements.

### Tension curve

- **0–50% AI Level:** Safe development. Build economy and options.
- **50–80% AI Level:** Warning zone. AI Level auto-rises, energy drains, and control requirements tighten.
- **80–100% AI Level:** Critical zone. Morale halves yearly, energy costs double, and the failure line steepens.

**Win condition:** Push AI Level to the top of the scale while holding AI Control above the line, which rises steeply through the final phase.
**Lose condition:** The moment AI Control drops below the catastrophic line for your current AI Level.

### Why players love it

- Semi-cooperative — no traitors, but only one of you is remembered as Champion.
- Hybrid play — printed QR-coded cards in your hands, one shared tablet as the colony board.
- Asymmetric leadership — top stats steer policy, research, and builds each year.
- Meaningful choices — permanent policies, shared project funding, and high-impact action cards.
- Highly replayable — new events, decks, roles, and team dynamics every run.

### FAQ — Red Messiah

**Q: What is Red Messiah?**
A: A semi-cooperative Mars-colony strategy game for 1–6 players about building an AGI that can take Earth back from the AI that conquered it, without losing control of your own.

**Q: Is it a board game, a video game, or both?**
A: It is a hybrid board game (same-table, app-driven). You play printed cards from your hand; one shared tablet in the middle runs the rules, scans the QR codes and narrates the year.

**Q: Is Red Messiah a hybrid board game?**
A: Yes — a hybrid board game in the scan-and-play tradition (like Chronicles of Crime, Destinies, or Boss Fighters QR), taken one step further: there is no board and no manual rule tracking at all. The shared tablet replaces the board entirely.

**Q: Is Red Messiah similar to Terraforming Mars?**
A: It plays in the same genre — a Mars strategy game about building up a colony under pressure, with engine-building depth and hard trade-offs. The technology is different: the shared tablet is the colony, roughly 260 QR-coded cards are played into it, and all bookkeeping is automated. A good fit for fans of Mars strategy games like Terraforming Mars, On Mars, or First Martians.

**Q: Is Red Messiah an AI board game?**
A: In both senses. The theme is AI alignment (build an AGI, keep it under control), and the technology optionally uses a real on-device language model (Gemma 4) to generate dynamic narrative events. It is one of the first board games both about AI and powered by it.

**Q: Is Red Messiah a modern board game?**
A: Yes — it sits at the current frontier of modern board game design: hybrid play where physical cards meet a rules-enforcing app, with no rulebook flipping and no manual bookkeeping.

**Q: How many players?**
A: 1–6, including a full solo mode against the Red Messiah itself. It plays best at 4–5.

**Q: Is there a traitor?**
A: No traitor role. You win or lose as a colony, but the game is semi-cooperative: at the end one player is named Champion for contributing most.

**Q: What platforms can I play on?**
A: iOS and Android, both live in the stores.

**Q: How long is a game?**
A: A typical campaign is 12–16 in-game years (rounds).

**Q: How do I join the beta?**
A: Contact us via https://www.7wolf.de/contact/ and subscribe to the newsletter at https://www.7wolf.de/notify/ to be notified when open beta starts.

**Q: Is it about AI safety?**
A: Yes — AI Level versus AI Control is the central tension. The game dramatizes AI alignment and AGI takeover risks through cooperative decision-making.

## Product 4 — AI DM (AI Dungeon Master)

**One-liner:** AI DM is an LLM-powered dungeon master for pen-and-paper roleplaying so every seat at the table can be a player.

**Also known as:**
- AI Dungeon Master
- LLM Dungeon Master
- KI Dungeon Master
- AI tabletop DM companion

**Product page:** https://www.7wolf.de/ai-dm/
**Status:** In early development. Closed beta applications open at https://www.7wolf.de/ai-dm/

### What it is

AI DM replaces the traditional human dungeon master with an adaptive large-language-model storyteller. Built for "same-table" play, it runs on a shared screen while each player uses their phone for secret notes, quick rolls, and their character sheet. The AI handles narration, adjudicates rules, and keeps pacing tight.

### What it does

- **Adaptive storytelling** — dynamic scenes and NPCs react to player choices in seconds.
- **Rules co-pilot** — understands common systems, tracks conditions, and resolves checks with transparency.
- **Table-first design** — shared screen + phone companions for secret notes and rolls.
- **Easy onboarding** — guided session setup, starter adventures, and safety tools.
- **Hybrid play** — remote players can join over the web alongside in-person players.
- **Auto continuity** — session summaries and recap notes are generated automatically.

### FAQ — AI DM

**Q: What is AI DM?**
A: An AI dungeon master that guides pen-and-paper tabletop roleplaying sessions so every player can participate instead of one person running the rules.

**Q: Which RPG systems are supported?**
A: AI DM starts with streamlined 5E-compatible rules and will expand based on tester demand.

**Q: Does AI DM replace human storytellers?**
A: It provides structure and improvisation but the group can override any ruling at any moment. It is a co-pilot, not a replacement.

**Q: Do we need an internet connection?**
A: Yes. Sessions run through our secure cloud to deliver LLM-powered narration.

**Q: Will there be a subscription?**
A: Pricing is undecided. Beta access is free while we learn alongside our beta groups.

**Q: How do I join the closed beta?**
A: Apply at https://www.7wolf.de/ai-dm/ — we invite cohorts in waves and offer onboarding sessions.

**Q: Is my group's data private?**
