Batman: Everybody Lies is a story-driven, cooperative deduction game based on the system of award-winning Detective game series. It delivers a deeply thematic experience that challenges 2-4 players to team up with the caped crusader and bring the theatrics and themes of Batman to life.
Players need to gather evidence and connect the facts to unravel the mystery. Every scenario ends with a final report with questions verifying how well the team has investigated the case.
Players take on the roles of four key investigators and cooperatively make decisions trying to solve a series of challenging cases.
Each player has a hidden agenda - their own secret goals and unique win conditions based upon which DC character they portray. While playing the game they will find their individual ways of getting information to help with the investigation.
Learn the game with an introductory Prologue case, then continue with three big cases, each taking roughly 2-3 hours to play.
Each case can be played separately, yet after solving all of them, you will unravel a master narrative with an epic climax.
