Game2: Winter (Russian: Гейм2Уинтер) was a social experiment and media stunt promoted as a Russian survival reality television program produced by Novosibirsk entrepreneur Yevgeny Pyatkovsky that was set to premiere in July 2017.^[4] The show caught the attention of the press when the show stated that its rules would allow crimes such as rape and murder which sparked outrage online.^[5][6][7] The show has been compared to a "real-life Hunger Games".^[2][8]

The project was revealed to be a social experiment^[9] used for marketing research purposes on 31 May 2017.^[10]

30 participants, half men and half women, were expected to compete on a remote Siberian island in the Ob River for a 100 million rouble ($1.7 million) prize on a nine-month survival mission. All contestants were said to have signed death waivers and agreed not to hold the organisers accountable for criminal activity.^[11]

We will refuse any claim of participants even if they were to be killed or raped. We will have nothing to do with this. This will be spelled out in a document to be signed by the participant before the start of the show. We will not intervene into relations between participants nor monitor their sexual life either, and our cameras will not be able to follow every move in every corner of the island.

However, Snopes found that 'Despite multiple misleading headlines, the waiver described by news outlets explicitly stated that contestants on the show would be obliged to "obey the laws of the Russian Federation".'^[12]
