The Devil’s Plan: Death Room Format

This season introduces a major gameplay change by dividing players into two zones: the Living Area and the Prison Area, with the latter featuring intense “Death Room” matches that significantly raise the stakes. The game design process also involved teams from the applicant pool, bringing fresh and innovative challenges.

The Devil’s Plan: Death Room Reality Show Rules

The Devil’s Plan: Death Room takes the game from Season 1 to the next level. For starters, there are more contestants: 14 vs. last season’s 12. And this time, the dorms no longer double as jail cells. Now there’s a separate part of the compound called the prison area, where those with the fewest pieces are sent. (More on that in a bit.)

The tokens earned in the game, called “pieces,” have also undergone significant revision. Players still get one piece at the beginning of their stay, earn more by winning matches, and use the coins for negotiations. But in Death Room, pieces can also be used to buy items and elevate contestants’ living quarters. If players have too few pieces at the end of a match, they’re sent to the prison area, where they must face off against one another to stay in the game. Pieces are not only doled out based on game performance, but also taken away when players are penalized. If a player happens to lose all of their pieces, they’re immediately eliminated. This season, pieces will also serve as keys to the hidden stages — plural. Yes, the hidden stage that appeared in Season 1, which reveals a new and potentially lucrative part of the game, has doubled.

Lastly, this time around, there’s no prize match. Instead, each day there’s both a main match and a prison match. In the main match, players can either lose or gain pieces. When players achieve the objectives for each game, they can earn and accumulate a specified number of pieces. At the end of the match, the half with the fewest pieces moves to the prison area. When the number of players doesn’t divide evenly, the majority go to the prison area, where the prison match happens. This challenge involves players with the fewest pieces. Similar to a death match, in the prison match, the player with the lowest performance is eliminated. At the end of the competition, whoever has the most pieces wins the competition and the cash prize.
