How it works — The Verdict Room

1Setup

Deal roles. Draw a case. One player is hiding the truth — the room must decide: guilty or not.

2Interrogate

Ask pointed questions. Listen for inconsistencies. Use evidence and contradiction tools to stop rambling and force clarity.

3Verdict

Vote. Reveal. Score. New case. Best-of-3 by default — zero downtime, constant tension.
