What to Expect
You tackle cases where each suspect has statements like “Shark is telling the truth” or “A carnivore did it.” You know how many culprits to find and the general truthfulness of statements. Difficulty rises to scenarios with up to seven suspects, conditional statements and varying truth levels. Short games (~20 minutes) make for quick puzzle sessions.
Who Is This Game For?
For fans of deduction and families with older children (8+). The game supports solo play and scales to small cooperative groups. Its brief duration suits quick sessions, while the difficulty curve gives a challenge for experienced solvers.
How It Works
Combine the known number of culprits with suspects' statements to deduce the guilty party. Core mechanics are Cooperative Game, Deduction, and Scenario/Mission/Campaign Game; multiple linked cases form a campaign scoring players by time to solution. Cases vary from simple to complex with conditional claims and more suspects.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Daumilas Ardickas and Urtis Šulinskas. The game pairs a clear deduction engine with an anthropomorphic animal theme and a campaign mode that links several cases. A high number of distinct cases supports repeated short-play puzzle solving.
Pro
- Short plays (~20 minutes) – easy to replay multiple cases
- Cooperative with solo option (1–5 players)
- Large variety of cases with increasing difficulty and campaign linking
- Clear deduction focus, suitable for logic enthusiasts
Contra
- May feel too brief or light for heavy strategy players
- Relies on abstract logical deduction rather than tactical depth
Setting & atmosphere
Anthropomorphic animals are the cast; crimes occur within an animal community. The theme appears in the Animals and Deduction categories.
Tips for beginners
Start by focusing on the number of culprits and the most definitive truth-statements; try single cases before playing the campaign.
