About this board game

Hacktivity is a cooperative, story-driven campaign card game for 1–4 players, with a play time of about 60 minutes. Players become one of four unique characters and dive into cyberspace to confront a dangerous new virus.

The virus is linked to the activation of quantum generators, a new source of infinite energy. Working together, your team must break through the generators’ defenses and short-circuit them once and for all while following the campaign’s unfolding storyline in the Scenarios Booklet.

Each turn, draw cards from your character deck, the virus deck, or both. Your first goal is to use up all the cards in the virus deck, but every decision matters as you balance attacks, defense, and the threat of too much interference.

  • Play a virus card on the Antivirus Interface to paralyse it.
  • Use character cards to attack and deactivate the virus.
  • Attack the quantum generator or restore your Firewall.
  • Communicate with your teammates to find the optimal strategy.

Hacktivity is designed so everyone can participate in every scenario. Strong communication is essential as players coordinate their character cards and respond to the virus’s growing threat.

As the campaign progresses, open new sealed decks to discover additional cards and unlock new abilities. These revelations carry the story forward and keep the cooperative challenge tense until the very end.

With its campaign structure, shared objectives, and cyber-themed card play, Hacktivity invites your team to explore cyberspace, defend the Firewall, and take on the quantum generators together.
