π HOW IT WORKS
βββββββββββββββββββββ
β’ GUESS THE WORD β Classic 20 Questions with AI. Pick a category; the game hides a secret word. Ask yes/no questions (and βnot applicableβ when it fits). Make your final guess when youβre ready.
β’ STORY DETECTIVE β Full case files: setting, suspects, and witness dialogue. Ask specific questions, inspect clues, accuse the right suspect, or surrender when youβre stuck.
β’ Family-friendly case packs use a wholesome tone (no graphic violence). Noir packs tell crime stories in text β tense, but not gory on screen.
More modes (Black Stories, Speed Oracle, Roleplay Mystery) are rolling out via updates β some require progress or Detectiveβs Pass.
