Liar
One player is the Liar - they'll lie about everything. Ask questions, spot the lies, and catch them before time runs out!
What is Liar?
Liar is a fast-paced social deduction game where one player is secretly designated as the Liar. When asked questions by other players, the Liar must always lie, while everyone else must always tell the truth. The challenge? Figure out who's lying before the round ends!
Unlike other imposter games, Liar focuses purely on interrogation and observation. There's no location to deduce or word to guess - just pure psychology, quick thinking, and the art of detecting deception. Can you maintain a poker face while lying, or spot the subtle tells that give someone away?
How to Play Liar
Role Assignment
One player is randomly selected to be the Liar. They see "You are the LIAR" on their screen. All other players see "You are a TRUTH TELLER." Keep your role secret!
Question Time
Players take turns asking anyone a yes/no question or a direct question. Truth tellers must answer honestly, while the Liar must lie. Questions can be about anything!
Watch for Tells
Pay attention to hesitation, contradictions, or suspicious answers. The Liar might slip up and give away their identity through their responses or body language.
Accusation & Victory
After several rounds of questions, players vote on who they think the Liar is. If the Liar is correctly identified, truth tellers win! If an innocent is accused, the Liar wins!
