About the game

Specter Ops is a hidden-movement stealth game in which one player secretly guides a covert agent through a Raxxon facility to complete mission objectives, tracking their route on a private map. The remaining players control genetically modified Hunters, using scanners, flash grenades, and technology to locate and capture the infiltrator before they escape.

Hobbli's Notes

A tense, well-executed hidden-movement game reminiscent of Scotland Yard with a modern sci-fi coat of paint. The asymmetric team dynamic keeps hunters and hunted equally engaged.

What we like

  • Tense hidden-movement deduction gameplay.
  • Asymmetric team-based design.
  • Strong sci-fi stealth theme.
  • Variable player powers add replayability.

Keep in mind

  • The hidden player can feel isolated during tracking.
  • Requires careful private map management.
  • 120-minute playtime is a real commitment.

Who it's for

Fans of hidden-movement and deduction games, ages 10 and up, in team-based groups of 3 to 5.
