Wonderful, let’s test your abilities

Power is not just about strength; it is about knowing how to control the flow of information, how to shape the perceptions of those around you. This is a skill that all members of The Apex must master. Your next challenge will test your understanding of social dynamics and manipulation.

Let’s begin

You find yourself at an exclusive gathering of powerful figures—business leaders, politicians, influencers. Your objective is to ensure that a specific rumour about a rival spreads through the room, damaging their reputation while keeping your own hands clean. As you mingle, you must decide how to plant the seed of this idea without being directly implicated.

What do you do?

Direct Approach Casually mention the rumour in conversation with the most influential person in the room, trusting that they will spread it.

Whisper Campaign Tell the rumour to a few trusted allies, instructing them to pass it on as a secret, making sure it gets back to the right ears.

Innocent Inference Share an unrelated story that subtly suggests the rival’s negative behaviour, allowing others to make the connection themselves.

Play the Victim Confide in a few people that you’ve heard the rumour and express your deep concern about its potential impact, so that they feel compelled to warn others.

Choose wisely, for your choice reveals the depth of your understanding. Select with your answer, and we will see if you have the instincts required to move forward
