About This Game

It's the Mob. It's Trivia. It's Business. Not Personal.

You're Jimmy Reid — nice Florida kid, now living in Jersey. You went to see Doc Tommy, a mob-connected 24-hour cash dentist who keeps a book on the side. He fixed your toothache and set you up with a sure bet on your beloved Gators. You lost. Fast-forward: a few more "guaranteed" winners, barely any payback — and now you owe Doc Tommy ten thousand dollars.

That's where you come in.

The Vig is a mob trivia game dressed up as a debt collection. MacGregor picks you up in a '37 Rolls-Royce, drives you to see Doc Tommy, and lays out the deal: answer questions about Our Business and every right answer pays the debt down. Every wrong one adds to it.

Reach $0, you walk. Reach $30,000, you don't.

How You Play

High Stakes — the real story. Ten grand on the line, six categories of mob-culture trivia, and more than one way it can end.

• Three difficulty levels: Don (expert), Capo (intermediate), Soldier (beginner)
  
• Win by paying off your $10,000 debt. Lose by escalating the debt to $30,000.

Open Play — warm up with MacGregor first. No real consequences, cash out whenever you want — and whatever you win carries over as a discount when you go High Stakes. Whatever you owe adds to your debt to the Boss.

• Run the board and win — answer all 602 questions with a positive cash balance and you walk away Practice Round Champion. And your debt is wiped clean.
  
• Ask Teresa — stuck on a question? Call in a lifeline. Three lifelines every 20 questions in practice mode.

What's On The Line

This isn't a quiz with a scoreboard. Turn down the offer and there's John Boy waiting. Run the debt past $30,000 and you're not gambling for a while. Pay it down to zero and you get your life back — assuming you don't make the same mistake twice.

Features

• Branching narrative with multiple distinct endings — including real consequences for refusing to play at all
  
• Six trivia categories covering mob culture: Movies, Quotes & Whacks, The Crew, Mob TV, Mafia, Fuggedaboutit
  
• Cinematic images and video
  
• A fully voiced driver riding shotgun through every question
  
• Two ways in: go all in on High Stakes, or ease into it with Open Play

It's the mob. It's trivia. It's business. Not personal. Just don't get it wrong.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Doc Tommy: The Vig is a crime story set in the world of organized crime. It depicts criminal activity — loan-sharking, bookmaking and the threat of violence — and references sports betting.

Violence is implied rather than shown. There is no blood, no gore and no on-screen death. One short scene shows a figure being roughed up inside a car, viewed from a distance, and the story's worst outcome is suggested rather than depicted. A character smokes a cigar. The dialogue includes dark humor about crime and death. There is no profanity.
