You can sign up for an account by providing a house name
You can lock-on to another user by entering in their name
If you do that a large button appears and the other player can see that you are locked-on to them
If you press the button, an alarm will play on their screen and will give them 60 seconds to retaliate
If they retaliate, you are both dead
If they do not, they die, but you are still alive
If you are dead, you can no longer target other locations and launch rockets
You are welcome to use this for your own Petrov day celebration. There is no way to get other people’s house names without them telling it to you, so if you choose something non-obvious there should be no way for other users to ruin your event.
I built a small app that allows you participate in the button game:

No way for them to ruin your event?
Something something security mindset. :P
Does this app provide some probability of a false alarm?
Maybe.
