MANSORI, in one page.
The concept
MANSORI is a real-life elimination game run as a season — and the audience holds the power. A curated cast of about one hundred adult players is set loose in one city with a target each and a hunter each. Everyone else watches live in the app: they vote on who wins and who the weekly reaping takes out, they write the trials the cast must face (and pick the victim by name), they sponsor players, open bounties on frontrunners, and pour donations into a live pot that the last player standing takes home.
The pitch line: "You're not watching the game. You're playing god."
The game is non-contact by rule — an elimination is a phone scan confirmed in-app, played 9:00–22:00 in public zones only, with a panic button, human moderation, and instant disqualification for contact. The public safety rules are the Conduct Codex.

How to describe it
- One line: "A real-life elimination game where the audience is in control."
- Category: outdoor social game / interactive reality show.
- Comparisons that land: the Hunger Games' sponsor economy, assassin-style campus tag grown up, a live exchange floor for a season of television that's happening outside.
- Please avoid: "hunt," "manhunt," or weapon framing — the game is non-contact by rule and the aesthetic contains no weapon imagery.

The visual language is a bounty ledger: gold ink on near-black, serif display type, typewriter monospace for data, hairline rules, tight corners. The wordmark is MANSORI, always in capitals.
Artwork: wordmark card (PNG, 1200×630) · app mark (SVG). Clips shared from the app carry the MANSORI watermark and may be embedded with it intact.
