Figure Me Out

Solo Groove Games has opened a Steam store page and free playtest signups for Figure Me Out, a first-person online game for up to 20 players where you read the number on an opponent's forehead and input it to defeat them. The playtest is planned for a weekend within three weeks, with selected players invited in stages.

Figure Me Out is a first-person online competitive game from Solo Groove Games. The Steam store page appeared on October 5, and signups for a free playtest opened the next day. The game is planned for October 2026. Defeating an opponent means reading the four-digit number written on their head and inputting it, which puts the number on the front of the face and exposes the reader's own number when attacking head-on.

Matches hold up to 20 players. Modes are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. The item list includes flashbangs, smoke grenades, decoy grenades, binoculars, and a camera that keeps a captured image on screen. The mechanics make positioning and item use the deciding skills rather than raw aim.

The playtest was announced on October 1 and then opened for signups on October 6, five days later. The test is planned for a weekend within three weeks. Solo Groove Games invites selected players in stages. That is the state of things now: a store page is live, signups are open, and no build is public yet.
