Mission: BookCrossing Wiki

Mission: Bookcrossing
Mission: Bookcrossing is an online RABCK (Random Act of Bookcrossing Kindness) game that combines elements of games like Assassins, Hot Potato, Russian Roulette, 007, and Mafia in order to find out who is the Top Secret Agent of Bookcrossing. It was started in 2009 by UnwrittenLibra and its players (agents) are Bookcrossing.commembers from around the world.

Game Premise
A bookcrosser receives instructions to send a book from a predetermined list to a certain "enemy" agent, along with a clue which contains their destiny. The object of the game is to survive as long as you can without undergoing elimination by receiving a "bomb" book or failing to complete a mission in time, or "eating the cyanide capsule." With untold twists and turns along the way, this journey will be different for everyone but in the end, only those with smarts, speed, and skills of BookCrossing espionage can be crowned the "Top Secret Agent of Bookcrossing."

Round 1: Friendly Fire Competition
Round 1 introduced the players to the game concept and operated as a "friendly fire" round - the 10 members of each team were scrambled and each sent a book onto the next member, with the first team to complete a chain through all 10 members winning a special prize. The only way to die in this round was to break the chain. Several players did just that, and became the game's first casualties. The only team to complete this chain was the Purple Team.

Round 2: Standard Play
This was the first round of standard play, with agents sending RABCKs to agents on opposing teams. Agents who failed to complete their missions in the time frame or failed to complete their mission at all were killed, as well as those on the receiving ends of two types of missions: Boomerang or Sophie's Choice.
 * Boomerang is when Agent A sends Agent B a book, and instead of Agent B, upon successfully recieving the book, receiving an assignment to send to Agent C, he/she receives Agent A's address and wishlist and sends a boomerang back to Agent A at their base, which knocks Agent A out of the game.
 * Sophie's Choice is a type of mission where Agent A receives two addresses and sets of wishlists books for Agent B and Agent C. One of the two books they send are a bomb, which knocks either Agent B or C out of the game.
