Checkpoint is a game of smuggling. It is a game of sneaking and bluffing. It is a game of plots forged in dark corners.
In a hidden location is an ordinary scene — a living room. Somewhere else is an empty space, waiting to be filled.
Between them is the border, no man's land, patrolled by a team of guards.
The object of the game is to dismantle the living room and smuggle it across the border, rebuilding it at the second location.
Play it cool. Act casual. Run. Hide. Whatever you do, make sure you get to the other side.
