MULTIWINIA’S SIX GAME MODES
• Domination – Each team fights to control spawn points with the aim to control the entire map or the most spawn points
• King of the Hill – Occupy key tactical zones around the map to score points
• Capture the Statue – Multiwinians must collectively lift the heavy giant stone statues that spawn in the Statue Zone and carry them safely back to their home base to score points, with the team that has successfully carried the highest number of statues to their base within the allocated time being the winner
• Blitzkrieg – Each team tries to capture the enemy’s home flag while defending their own
• Rocket Riot – Each team has a giant rocket at their start point, and in order to win they must refuel and occupy the rocket with 100 Multiwinian astronauts and then perform a successful launch, all at the same time as preventing the rocket’s destruction by enemy teams
• Assault – One player’s team must defend a bomb that will explode within a defined time period, whilst the other team must attack and destroy the bomb before the time period elapses. Play then switches around, with the winner being the player who successfully attacks in the quickest time
