Questions and answers
Do all players need an account?
No. Only the host needs an account. Everyone else joins with a 6-digit room code and a name.
How many players do we need?
4 to 8. With 4 players there is no liar, with 5 or 6 there is one and with 7 or 8 there are two.
Do we have to be in the same room?
The game is made for one table: the fun is in the conversation. Each player needs their own phone.
How long does a game take?
Easy cases take about 15 to 22 minutes, Medium cases about 28 to 38 and Hard cases about 40 to 52.
Who enters the answers?
The whole team agrees on the answers out loud. Only the host enters and submits the verdict.
What does it cost?
"Break-in at Nova Studio" is free forever. For the other cases we plan a day pass ($9.90) and a monthly pass ($29.90). Passes are not on sale yet. Guests never pay.
When does a pass start?
When you create your first game after buying it, not at the time of purchase. A day pass then lasts 24 hours and a monthly pass exactly one month.
What if someone loses the connection?
Open the room link again in the same browser to get your seat and your card back. The host stays the host for the whole game, also while their phone is dark, and enters the verdict. A host whose phone has given up can log in on another phone and open the room there.
Can we compare our score with other groups?
Yes. Every game ends with one game score from 0 to 1000 for the whole table. It is your share of the points the case offers, so it means the same for a group of 4 and a group of 8, and for every case. On the results screen, “Share score” gives you a picture and a text without spoilers to post.
How long does a room stay open?
A host can create a room ahead of time. If its game is not started within 30 days, the room is deleted automatically; the host dashboard and the lobby show how many days are left. Once a game has started, the room closes 24 hours later. Finished games stay in the host's history.
Something is not working. How do I tell you?
Use “Report a problem” at the bottom of every page, also during a game. Say what you did and what happened. You do not need an account, and you can leave an email address if you want a reply.
Can we play a case twice?
The solution of a case never changes, so a case works best once per group. The roles are dealt at random every time.
Are the stories real?
No. All cases and characters are fictional.
