In John Carpenter’s seminal horror/sci-fi cult classic The Thing, a group of NSF researchers manning a claustrophobic and remote Antarctica research station discover that a neighboring camp operated by Norwegians, has been destroyed and its crew dead. Whatever killed them is nowhere to be found, unless… it’s hidden in plain sight. Now fans can relive this horror classic with The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31, a hidden identity game from USAopoly and Project Raygun. Play as 1 of 12 iconic characters from The Thing, in order to successfully escape outpost 31. Complete missions before any “imitations” sabotage your objectives. Suspect everyone and trust no one as you attempt to find out who is an imitation and who is still human, using a variety of tools and weapons at your disposal!
