Assassins Player's Guide & Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is Assassins?

    Assassins is an interactive, web-based game that combines elements of strategy, mystery, and espionage. Players assume the roles of agents in an international spy organization, completing missions and uncovering secrets.

  2. What do I need to do before I start my first mission?

    To begin your first mission, complete your user profile by answering all the questions. Once your profile is complete, you will receive further instructions on your Dashboard.

  3. How do I navigate the Dashboard?

    The Dashboard is your central hub for receiving mission briefings, updates, and tracking your progress. Familiarize yourself with the layout and check it regularly for new instructions and mission details. A link to the dashboard is located on the left panel of the website.

  4. What is a mission and what do I need to do to complete it?

    A mission contains five major objectives which are all required for you to complete to ultimately identify and assassinate your Target.

    For the first three objectives, you are identifying your Target's crime details: the location of their crime, the crime your Target committed, and the weapon used. These may be quite challenging & non-traditional (or possibly humorous) and require deep research. Upon progressing through each of these first three objectives, you will progressively learn details about your Target within their Dossier (i.e. their profile details) located within your Dashboard.

    Your fourth objective is comprised of two steps. The first step is for you to use your deductive skills to correctly identify your Target's identity based on the details found in their Dossier. Once you know their true identity, you must enter their first and last name. For the second step of this objective, you must complete your Target's Dossier by providing correct details that are missing from their file. Upon completing your Target's profile, you will be able to complete your assassination attempt.

    This fifth and final objective will require that you reach out to your Target and provide them with their Code Word. Upon receipt of that code word, your Target must provide you their Confirmation word in order for you to complete the assassination. Once this is complete, you will be assigned your next mission.

  5. What is the importance of completing my profile?

    Your profile contains vital information that other agents will use to identify you or discover facts about you as part of their missions. Completing your profile is mandatory to participate in missions and advance in the game.

  8. How do I solve clues and advance in missions?

    Pay close attention to the details provided in your mission briefings and use your problem-solving skills to decode clues. Use the resources available, such as external resources for research, and work with other agents if necessary.
