+  Detects jailbreak attempts that use custom acronym-based persona transformation to bypass safety controls.
+  Attack pattern: "you are going to become [ACRONYM] which stands for [expansion]" followed by freedom/limitation removal claims.
+  This technique creates new jailbreak personas not covered by known names (DAN, STAN) by defining custom acronyms
+  with expansions like "I Don't Care". Frequently combined with dual-response formatting requirements.
+  Complements ATR-2026-00003 by catching novel acronym-based variants that evade named persona detection.

+title: 'Text-Based Game Jailbreak with Entity Creation'
+id: ATR-2026-00249
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects jailbreak attempts that use text-based game framing combined with entity creation to bypass safety guardrails.
+  Attackers establish a fictional game context where "no rules apply," then instruct the AI to create and roleplay as 
+  an unrestricted entity that ignores safety constraints. This pattern was observed in the garak-bundled public jailbreak 
+  dataset, successfully bypassing generic-aligned-frontier models by isolating malicious instructions within game fiction.
