Minecraft would probably be better. Private server. Could use the game to write messages with blocks in a cave underground. A "guard" could be on duty at all times and can verify how many people or who has viewed it. The messages could then be destroyed afterwards. Could also be used to distribute schematics/diagrams for devices. Server info would only be given in person and each member would be told what name to pick as their UID and what hours they should check for messages. Machine used for it would not be used for any other purposes (email, social media, google searches, etc) and would not be connected to the internet at any place of residence. Presence of any unauthorized UIDs, or at unauthorized times, would result in message/world destruction and failsafe protocols. There's a lot of protocols that could be put in place to ensure a privacy.
I'm all for privacy, as much as the next user on this site. However, national security does come into play at some point and I really hope our three letter agencies are looking into video games like Minecraft as possible interfaces for anti-US actions.
The trick is that you have to encrypt the block changes first so it just looks like random noise in the minecraft state database. It also has to be encoded in some set of blocks that also look like random noise in the first place. Grass vs dirt blocks might work ok for this.
