The rule

Spine Breaker is a positional round: the party stands on pressure plates while a mechanism cycles. Players must move between plates on a timed cue. Standing on the wrong plate at the wrong cycle is the lethal trigger.

Lethal condition

Being on a plate at the wrong cycle. The cue is audio-visual: a hum ramps for two seconds before the cycle closes. Move on the hum, not on the click.

Survival tips

Pre-assign each player to a specific plate. Free-for-all movement is what kills parties.
Listen for the hum, not the click. The click is the lethal frame; the hum is the cue.
If a player goes down early, the remaining two can still clear it. Don't panic-spread.
