About the Game

Your wife has been kidnapped. To get her back, you must obey BK26: pick up dangerous strangers at night, learn what they know, and avoid giving them a reason to kill you.

Drive the wrong people through the night

Killers, thieves, fraudsters and unstable strangers sit behind you. Listen closely, watch their behavior, and uncover what they are hiding before the ride turns deadly.

Question without provoking them

Use your logbook to profile each passenger. Ask carefully, choose your words, and gather clues without pushing a dangerous person too far.

Hack for the answer that keeps you alive

Use your computer to search databases, dig through the deep web, and find critical information—maybe even how to defuse the bomb under your car.

Survive each ride

Complete BK26's missions: Deliver passengers, send your notes, and follow the trail toward your wife.
Wrong move, fatal ride: Inside the taxi or outside it, one mistake can end the night.

Decide your fate

Obey BK26, look for another way out, and decide how much you are willing to risk. You are not driving for money. You are driving for your family.
