[THE NONARY GAME]
Welcome to the [Nonary Game]. It is a game...where you will put your life on the line.
The ultimate goal of the [Nonary Game] is to escape. As you have observed, I have trapped all of you on this ship.
On this ship, you will find a handful of doors emblazoned with numbers. We will call them the [numbered doors]. The key to opening these numbered doors are the [numbered bracelets] that each of you possess. Should you total the numbers on your [numbered bracelets] and find that the [digital root] of that number is equal to the number of that door, the door will open. Only those who have opened the door may pass through.
Only a maximum of 5 people can pass through one numbered door. All those who enter must leave, and all who enter must contribute.
Continue to go through the [numbered doors] and you will be able to find the hidden exit... seek a door that carries a [9].
On April 14th, 1912... the famous ocean liner Titanic crashed into an iceberg. After remaining afloat for 2 hours and 40 minutes, it sank beneath the waters of the North Atlantic. I will give you more time.
You will have multiple rounds to escape this ship. However, do be warned that the ship will quickly submerge once it is time.
Failure to escape will result in your [death]. Failure to abide by the rules will result in your [death].
Good luck.

Archivist's Note: At the same time the above Nonary Game was being played by the players, all eliminated players were placed in a separate Nonary Game that was taking place at the same time but with slightly different rules. Those rules are found below.
[THE NONARY GAME]
Welcome to the [Nonary Game]. It is a game...where you will put your life on the line.
The ultimate goal of the [Nonary Game] is to escape.
Every round, all of you will be locked in an empty room with no discernible details. There will be one, and only one, way to exit this room: through the locked, metal door at the back of the room. The only way to open this door will be to figure out the passcode.
I will provide you no hints as to what the passcode may be. You will need to use your powers and intuition to learn what the passcode is telepathically.
A reminder that you are not allowed to converse with the alive players. You may converse among yourselves.
Continue to escape these locked rooms... and you will eventually reach the hidden exit.
Failure to escape will result in your [death]. Failure to abide by the rules will result in your [death].
Good luck.
