This ancient Egyptian spiral race game, played between roughly 3100 B.C. and 2300 B.C., involved up to six participants guiding lion- and sphere-shaped pieces across a coiled snake-shaped track. Its rules weren't fully recorded and were only recently analyzed in depth in a 2024 study, making it a fascinating untapped app concept. Prior to this app, no iPhone implementation existed.

Welcome to Rome. Trust no one. Intra Nos is a real-time social deduction game for 4–20 players, set in the heart of Ancient Rome. Citizens race to complete tasks across the Forum, the Senate, the Colosseum, and beyond — but Julius Caesar walks among them, secretly turning allies to his cause. CHOOSE YOUR FATE Every game assigns secret roles: • Roman Citizens — Complete tasks to fill the progress bar and save the Republic. But watch your back. • Julius Caesar — The imposter. Convert citizens to your side, sabotage the city, and seize control without being caught. • Cassius Longus — The healer. Quietly cure the converted and undo Caesar's work before it's too late. • Brutus — The detective. You get one chance to publicly accuse Caesar. Choose wisely — a false accusation has consequences. EXPLORE ANCIENT ROME Move through ten detailed locations — the Forum Romanum, the Curia, the Temple of Jupiter, the baths, the markets, the treasury, the barracks, and the great Colosseum — each connected by winding corridors where danger lurks in the shadows. COMPLETE THE TASKS Twenty unique mini-games test your skill: arrange offerings, decode battle orders, repair the aqueduct, sharpen swords, count coins, tend the horses, and more. SURVIVE THE SABOTAGES Caesar can plunge Rome into chaos — start fires, cut the lights, or sever communications. Work together to restore order before time runs out. CALL THE SENATE When suspicion runs high, call an emergency meeting. Debate, accuse, and decide the fate of the Republic — but converted citizens cannot be trusted to speak the truth. HOW TO WIN • Citizens win by completing every task, or when Brutus correctly unmasks Caesar. • Caesar wins by converting Cassius, or by turning every citizen to his cause. Cross-platform play on phone and desktop. Free to play. Easy to learn, impossible to master. Alea iacta est. The die is cast.
