The Guardian of Fire is a team-based party game from BattleStart for up to 16 players, recommended for ages 5 and up. Players navigate a dark labyrinth, lighting torches to illuminate their path while an opposing team attempts to extinguish them. The game runs on standalone headsets (PICO 4 and Quest) and is available on the BattleStart platform as a turnkey solution.
The core mechanic centers on lighting and protecting torches. One team moves through the labyrinth seeking torches to light; the opposing team works to put those torches out. This creates a continuous tactical contest as players balance advancing through the space with defending their progress. Matches support 1 to 16 players in cooperative or competitive modes.
The labyrinth environment uses lighting and shadow to establish the game’s visual atmosphere. Torches flicker as the primary light sources; corridors remain dark until illuminated. Sound design reinforces the setting as players move through the space.
BattleStart offers the title in software-only and turnkey configurations. The game accommodates play areas from 5×5 meters to 6×9 meters, fitting locations with varying footprint constraints.
