Liar's Game

Liar's Game is an online social reasoning game for 5–16 players. You and your companions are divided between the forces of good and evil, then work together—or deceive one another—as you try to complete objectives and escape a mysterious maze. Players do not die, so everyone can remain involved throughout the game.

The maze and the vote

The maze is generated randomly as an N×N arrangement of plots, with more than six plot types. During each game, the Holy Grail appears in a random location. Players must take it to the torch altar to start a voting task.

Each round specifies how many players vote and sets a limit on the number of “no” votes. Players on the forces of good can vote only “yes,” while players from the forces of evil can choose “yes” or “no.” If the number of “no” votes exceeds the limit, the round fails. The game allows a limited number of failures; if that limit is exceeded, the evil forces win and the good forces are trapped in the maze forever.

Good and evil

As a player on the forces of good, you try to earn the others’ trust and take part in votes to help them succeed. As a player on the forces of evil, you deceive and persuade the others so they trust you, then try to make the missions fail.

Classes and items

The game includes more than 15 classes and more than 16 selectable characters, along with over eight different props. Some good-side characters are “fools,” whose presence makes the good players’ reasoning more confusing.
