  • Press a suspect to cycle its mark: innocent, accomplice, culprit, then blank again.
  • Check the grid once every suspect is marked. A check says how many are wrong, never which.
  • Keyboard: arrow keys move between suspects; I, A, C set a mark and Backspace clears it.
  • Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.

Mark every suspect innocent, accomplice or culprit. The grid appears when you start.

About this quiz

A grid of suspects who talk about each other. The innocent tell the truth, the accomplices lie to cover for the culprit, and the culprit lies too. Only one reading of the room is consistent.

  • There is exactly one culprit.
  • A liar's statement is really false, which tells you as much as a true one.
  • The solution is unique and can be reached without guessing.
