The premise
Play as yourself. Lie like a criminal.
Every character is you and your friends at your absolute worst.
- Ryan Always “five minutes away”
Has never once been five minutes away. Sends it from his couch with his shoes still off.
The murderer - Kellie Behind the camera, always
Four hundred photos of everyone else and not one of herself. Conveniently out of frame her entire life.
The accomplice - Matt Corrects everyone
Will pause a movie to explain why the movie is wrong. Has a preferred brand of ice.
Insufferable - Lauren Up before the sun
Runs at 5 a.m. Alone. Unwitnessed. Finds a way to mention it before 9.
No alibi - Adam Believes anything
Has been convinced the moon is closer than Canada. Twice. By the same person.
Hopeless
How your story gets written
Get your story straight.
-
Take a survey
The mystery gets written around what you confess. Job, quirks, prized possessions, pettiest grudges — it’s all material now.
-
Spill the tea
Players answer questions about each other, too. What you won’t admit, your friends happily will.
-
Spin the narrative
The host adds context only your group would know — inside jokes, running bits, that one trip nobody talks about. Then the writers get to work.
Your real habits become suspicious. Your real schedule becomes an alibi. Your real friends become the problem.
The evidence burns with the case. Your host sets the burn timer — 1 to 90 days after the party (30 by default) — then the case file is deleted. Your own dossier is exportable to seed future games. The whole policy, in plain English.
Loves golf. Hates cilantro. Owns fourteen hats.
Once cried at a car commercial. Denies it.
Claims he’s ‘eating clean’. Goes to Taco Bell every Thursday.
An entire whodunit. Written for one night. Starring all of you.
A murderer with a motive. An accomplice keeping quiet. Alibis that almost hold, and red herrings aimed at your most suspicious friend — you know the one. Written fresh for your table, ready before the ice melts.
The lights fail. Chaos erupts. A body is found.
No one leaves this room until we know who did it.
The party
Here’s how the night goes down.
-
Everyone joins on their phone
One friend hosts and runs the show from the console. Everyone else joins with a 6-character code. Your dossier — story, alibi, secrets — is already waiting.
-
Learn who you are
Tap to reveal your secret role: innocent bystander, shady accomplice… or the one who did it. Memorize your alibi. Tell no one anything.
-
Investigate
Each round, vote someone into the Hot Seat, dig for clues on them, then interrogate them for 120 seconds. Share what you found, hide it, or lie about it — that’s between you and God.
-
Accuse
Name who did it, how, and why. Then the reveal — and find out exactly how wrong you all were.
— guilty, or bad under pressure
The machinery of suspicion
Your friends are lying to you. At least tonight it’s on purpose.
-
The Investigation
Pick a suspect and start digging. The coat closet? Nothing. Their browser history? Embarrassing but not incriminating. Under the bed? …Well, well, well. Some searches come up empty, some crack the case wide open — and every clue is about your actual friend, so it feels less like a script and more like snooping. Because it is.
-
The Hot Seat
Here’s your chance to confront them. Your friend goes in the chair. A swinging bulb. A ticking clock. Zero mercy. Grill them about their alibi, the clue you just found, or why they left the group chat on read for three days. You’ve got two minutes to get it out of them. Good luck.
-
Planted Evidence
Watch your back. The guilty team may get the chance to plant fake evidence — so when a suspicious “clue” with your name on it lands on the table, congratulations: you’re being framed. Now stand up and prove it wasn’t you.
-
Trust Issues
You think you know them, huh? The friend swearing they’re innocent might be exactly that. Or they’re the accomplice, covering for the killer all night. Or a red herring — innocent, but dressed up to look guilty. Everyone at the party is playing a secret role. It’s your choice whose story to believe.
-
Smoking Gun
Buried somewhere in the case is one clue that connects all the threads. Find it, and the guilty are cooked — which is exactly why they’ll spend all night trying to keep it buried.
-
The Reveal
When the final accusations land, the whole story comes out — who did it, how they pulled it off, which clues you walked right past, and every lie told directly to your face. The question was never just whodunit. It’s who you believed. The group chat will not recover.
