What you'll need to play: This skill requires the Blok Party "Tap Top" board game console for the full experience. More info here: https://blokparty.com/taptop
Dead Giveaway is played on a stylish noir-themed game board, with players using the Alexa skill to interview suspects (who have the ability to lie to players), while keeping track of their investigation using beautifully designed character cards and murder weapon tokens. The identity of the killer is randomized on each play-through, which makes every new game feel fresh and unpredictable – whether playing solo or with your friends.
--How To Play-- As the detective, gather clues and question suspects as you piece together the events on the night of the murder. Something is not adding up -- and it’s up to you to discover the inconsistencies in the suspects’ stories in order to solve the case. To deduce who the killer is, explore the different locations in town to find the right murder weapon and confirm suspect’s whereabouts on the night of the murder. Folks in this town tend to keep their distance from one another. There will only ever be one suspect at any given location. If two claim to have been at the same place the night of the murder then someone's lying.
Not everyone will give an HONEST answer when asked where they were or who they saw the night of the murder. Compare suspect’s answers and look for inconsistencies to figure out who is telling the truth and who is lying. Be careful -- liars will always lie, but not all liars are the killer! Nothing they say can be trusted! On every turn you can build your case by choosing to either: 1) Examine a location for evidence. 2) Choose to question a character about where they were and who they saw on the night of the murder. 3) Accuse a suspect.
Time is not on your side. The killer will strike again. You have seven nights to solve the case. Be careful… make two wrong accusations or run out of time, and the murderer will skip town and escape justice for good.
To win the game, identify and accuse the correct suspect before the end of night seven. The killer is caught. You save the town. Players Can Use The Following Actions To Play Dead Giveaway: * Question [suspect's name]. * Where were you the night of the murder? * Who was at [location name]? (Suspects will only know how was next door or across the street from where they claimed to have been that night.) * Examine [location name]. (This action sends the detective to investigate a location and reveal any hidden weapons.) * I accuse [suspect's name] of murder
Players can also ask: * How did the victim die? * What night is it?
