Deduction game
Embassy
A multiplayer deduction game - you run it as game master while players reason out the truth from answers that may be lies.
What is the Embassy game?
Embassy (The North Korean Embassy) is a critical-thinking game. Diplomats meet at a secret reception, a weapon is hidden somewhere, and the participants must uncover the truth. You run the session as game master: you show a code or QR code on the projector and players join anonymously from their own devices.
Each session has 5 questions, each with two possible answers - only one is true. The game runs for up to 10 rounds. Every round players pick answers and mark which questions to ask and which embassy officer to ask. After the round they get the answers (which may be lies) and a count of how many of those answers were true - but not which ones. All 5 correct at the end means a win.
Features
Key capabilities
5 questions, one truth
Each question has two possible answers, but only one is true - the rest must be deduced.
Answers that lie
The embassy may lie, so players have to weigh clues rather than trust them outright.
Truth counter
After a round players know how many of the answers they heard were true - but not which, which drives the deduction.
Round control
You set the pace: end the round, reveal answers and show the report at the end.
Anonymous join
Participants enter with a code or QR code from their phones - no install, no login.
A cap on questions per round
Each player may ask only a few questions per round - you have to choose whom to ask and draw conclusions from incomplete data.
