The Prove It System
Post-match only · Runs parallel to the game · Deadline = before the next game
🚫 NOT available — Week 1 (getting to know each other)
The first game is introductions. People are just meeting. Triggering Prove It in Round 1 kills the natural conversation and puts someone on trial before anyone knows anything. Week 1 is protected.
If something felt off in Week 1, note it mentally. See if it persists after matching.
✅ Available — Week 2+ in a matched group
You've been matched. You're in a group with this person. A concern from Week 1 is still there — or something new came up in Week 2. Now you can Prove It.
Deadline: before the next game. That's the max. No extensions.

Step 2 — Jordan's notification (does not interrupt the game)
A player in Room ATLAS-4 has asked you to verify your relationship status in the Prove It Room. You said your partner is aware and on board — they need to get on camera briefly and confirm. You have until the start of next week's game to do this. Partners have lives — coordinate on your own time.

This is a private session. Only the challenger, the challenged player, and their partner are in this room. No recording unless all three consent. The main game room does not see or hear this.
Step 4 — Challenger rates concern after the Prove It session
How concerned are you after seeing this?
Only you and the admin see this. This is not public. You can write as much or as little as you need to.
✅ I'm satisfied
Uncertain
Something's wrong
⚠️ Serious concern
0–3Verified and credible — I'm satisfied. Partner was present, relaxed, and clearly aware.
→ Concern dismissed. Jordan gets "Verified" marker for this session.
4–5Something felt slightly off — body language, vagueness, or inconsistency, but nothing definitive.
→ Admin reviews your notes quietly. No immediate action against Jordan.
6–7I believe the partner is being pressured, misled, or doesn't really understand what they agreed to.
→ Jordan suspended from new sessions pending admin review.
8–9Clear red flag — forced poly, coercion, partner visibly uncomfortable or contradicting their story.
→ Immediate admin alert. Account suspended. Full investigation opened.
10I believe someone is being harmed — possible trafficking, coercion, or a person who is not safe.
→ Immediate admin escalation + logged for potential referral. Session ends for this player.
Your notes (private — seen only by admin)
e.g. "The partner seemed confused about why they were on the call. Jordan kept answering for them. When I asked her directly if she was okay with Jordan being in this game, she looked at Jordan before answering."

📖
Session vs. Game — important distinction.
A session is one round within a single game night (e.g., Rounds 1–5 on a Tuesday). A game is the full weekly event. A Prove It challenge raised during any session on Week 1 night carries through the whole evening and into the week — the partner must verify before Week 2's game begins. This applies whether the couple is in Week 2, Week 3, or further along in their matched group. Partners have jobs and families — a full week to coordinate a brief camera moment is fair.
What if Jordan never enters the Prove It Room by the next game?
🚫
No-show
Jordan was notified. They had a full week — any day, any time — to get their partner on camera in the Prove It Room. Next week's game is starting and they still haven't verified.
→ Jordan cannot join this week's game. Their spot in the group is held for one more week.
→ If they verify before Week 3's game, they can re-enter the group.
→ Two consecutive no-shows = account suspended until admin review.
→ Challenger is notified of the outcome (no personal details shared).
🛡️
Prove It is not a harassment tool. If a player files 3+ Prove It challenges within a single month and all come back 0–3 (no concern), the system flags their account for admin review. Serial unverified challenges can result in their own account suspension. Filing a malicious Prove It to pressure or intimidate someone is a platform violation.
Does this Prove It flow capture what you're building? Any adjustments to the deadline, the scale bands, or the escalation path?
