Detectives and Criminals

over 5 years

Simple forum game I am testing for 8 people!

The players are secretly divided between 4 detectives and 4 criminals. Nobody knows who is on anyone's team.

At the start of the game, each detective will secretly receive the names of two people, one of which is a detective and one of which is a criminal. No two detectives will share any names in their reports.

A suitcase containing millions of dollars starts the game lying on the ground. At any time, someone can say they want to grab the suitcase.

When someone has the suitcase, their role will be revealed, and they will have 24 hours to pass it to another player whose role is still unknown. When that player recieves the suitcase, their alignment is revealed and they must pass it to someone in 24 hours... etc.

The detectives win if all detectives are revealed. The criminals win if 3 of the 4 criminals are revealed.

The winning team absconds with the suitcase with all the cash inside.

Post below if you are interested in playing ~ the game will start as soon as I have 8 players. Please join only if you will be sufficiently active (though there is no shame in asking for a replacement when you need to!)

thank you all for playing!!!

i feel like there's a kernel of a good game here but there are some balance issues that need to be fixed

maybe only allow detectives to grab the suitcase first???

In a blitz, okiedokes (criminal) passed to Kaito (criminal) who passed it successfully to wryan (**criminal**).

The criminals have easily pulled off the heist and left the detectives blindsided.

@Luminary i already outed myself as a criminal so like... if you don't pass it to me there's two scenarios: 1) u get lucky and pass it to the other criminal and we win woo, or 2) you pass it to a detective and the game keeps going and i likely never get the suitcase in my possession so it;s up the the 4th criminal bc they aren't yet outed.....

so.... please pass it to me thanks
