Russian Roulette
What TornLife's research has established about Russian Roulette, and the questions players asked about it.
What TornLife has verified
- The wiki says Torn's game is Foot Russian Roulette: players point a gun with 1 bullet chambered at their own foot and take turns firing until the bullet goes off. The first to shoot themselves loses and gets a small hospital time; the winner takes all the money. (documented; Russian Roulette › Information, )
- You start your own game or join an existing one from the Casino. The game continues even if you leave the page after being hospitalised; you must med out or use the direct URL to return. (documented; Russian Roulette › Information, )
- A game cannot be cancelled. If the opponent does not take their shot there is a timeout of up to 3 minutes, after which you may shoot your opponent. A player report says timeouts auto-lose the game. (documented; Russian Roulette › How to play, )
- The wiki's award list names the game 'Foot Russian Roulette'. The 'One In Six' honor requires winning 50 games of it, which is consistent with a six-chamber gun but does not state the chamber count. (documented; Award › Honors › Casino — table, )
- The honor 'Daddy's New Shoes' requires winning $100,000,000 in a single game of Russian Roulette, which suggests stakes large enough to reach that amount are possible. No maximum bet is stated. (documented; Award › Honors › Casino — table, )
- The honor 'Foot Soldier' requires beating 10 unique opponents in Russian Roulette. The award text was the same in the 2021 and 2026 captures. (documented; Award › Honors › Casino — table, )
