Fire the Vibecoder

Fire the Vibecoder! is a hidden-role party game wearing the skin of a corporate layoff platform. It signs your group into a fake professional network, hands everyone a secret job title, and slips a Vibecoder or two onto the team: the people who shipped something untested to prod on a Friday and blamed the tooling. Everyone else just wants to catch them before the sprint ends.

Play it around a table or over a call, because almost all of it is talking. There is one short night where the platform runs its business in the dark, then the standup opens and the accusations start. You defend your own record, you poke holes in everyone else's, and the group slowly decides who looks most like the person torching the codebase. When the clock runs out the team casts a single vote and fires one colleague. Nobody solves it alone. The whole game lives in what people say and how nervously they say it.

The voice is deadpan LinkedIn all the way down: promoted posts from an HR bot, #OpenToWork ribbons on whoever gets managed out, profile headlines like 'VP of Vibes, turning coffee into roadmaps.' A round is quick and a little chaotic, and most groups want another one straight away. It plays fine with people who never touch board games, and it lands hardest on anyone who has lived through a real reorg.
