Das perfekte Alibi

Separate interrogations

Two players are suspected of a crime and must prove their alibi, that must keep up under must intensive interrogations. The investigators, on the other hand, must manage to disprove the alibi and achieve a verdict of guilty.

The game master is the High Judge and randomly chooses two of the players to be the suspects, all other players are investigators. The judge also states a crime, he can invent it himself or choose one of those featured in the game. The suspects then draw an alibi card, both crime and alibi are made known to all players. Then suspects and investigators separately confer on their strategy. Then the suspects are interrogated separately and must give answers. The investigators cannot pose questions that are not connected to the alibi or are related to the crime or which can only be answered by one of the suspects. The High Judge must then check all answers for congruence and/or contradictions and then deliver judgment. If more than 50% of the answers of both suspects correlate the judge must pronounce them not guilty and they win the game, if there is less correlation the verdict is guilty and the investigators win. In bigger groups you can install an uneven number of players as a jury and let them deliver judgment or let suspects and investigators hold one plea each.

A fun and interesting game, which – like all games of this kind – entirely depends on the players; the more amusing and creative answers and explanations the more fun and challenging is the game. In any case an excellent game for large numbers of players.
