A gameshow much like the Battlestar Galactica boardgame, incorporating elements of the Stanford Prison experiment.

Each player in the game has a specific mundane task to fulfill to ensure that everyone on board the space ship can survive (e.g., food supply management, conducting repairs, navigation of the ship, and so on). Along these mundane tasks, every now and then a crisis would occur, which could be seen as a mini-game during which the contestants try to win the objective. Failure in doing so will lower their living circumstances up until the point where the contestants lose. Unbenknown to the contestants is that some of them are cylon infiltrators. They pretend to be humans, but in reality they are doing everything they can to make the contestants lose.

The task of the human contestants is to figure out who is manipulating them, and to endure until a certain amount of time has passed. The task of the cylon contestants is to make the humans fail in whatever they are doing. Break morale, steal their resources, and so on. A captured cylon can be thrown in a jail cell, which he or she will remain in until the end of the show (it's much more fun to watch the humans be uncertain about their actions, rather than watch a cylon off themselves to get to the cylon fleet). Some cylons are sleeper agents. They believe they are human for the first half of the game, but they become cylons for the second half.

Unlike other games of this type, resources are directly tied into the well-being of contestants. They start with excellent facilities (a good gym, fantastic food supplies, entertainment, etc.), and as the ship gets damaged and resources become slim their facilities are slowly removed, until they are left with a very low amount of rations every day, and they can only shower once per week. While there is a point where the humans definitely lose, it is also possible for the cylons to make the humans quit because the conditions are really bad. Keep in mind, the cylons players are properly taken care of during night in private in their rooms.
