About this game
The Control Group is an online , 2D , multiplayer party game made for creating and bonding friends through fast-paced and fun minigames . Made as a school project , this game is willing to bring you both a competitive and collaborative gaming experience. We offer 11 total minigames, 66 modifiers, a witty narrator , secrets , and more! Each round, a random unique minigame is chosen and up to four players (four players recommended) are randomly split into the Control Group (up to three players) and the Experimental Group (one player). Modifiers are given to all of the players to make the game more interesting! The Experimental Group, being only one player, has the power to pick their own modifier to best defeat the Control Group in the minigame- all the while The Control Group must fight to win against the Experimental Group. Each minigame lasts 90 seconds. Don't forget to check out our Instagram for information about each minigame- as well as some hints towards a hidden minigame!
