The riddle game where every story is true. A man dies in the middle of a cucumber field. What happened? 60 lateral thinking cases drawn from real events, solved with yes-or-no questions. Party game on one phone, or a remote duel with a friend. A new free riddle every day, and a single purchase unlocks everything. No subscription. TWO WAYS TO PLAY With friends, in the same room: one phone is enough. One player becomes the Keeper: they read the answer in secret and only reply yes, no or doesn't matter. Everyone else investigates. Remotely, two of you: challenge a friend by sending them your invite. They join with your code, each on their own phone. One of you is the Keeper and knows the answer, the other asks the questions. You don't need to be online at the same time: questions wait for you, a notification tells you when it's your turn, and an evening reminder arrives if your friend is waiting for your answer. PLAY AGAIN WITH THE SAME FRIEND At the end of a game, start the rematch in one tap, on the suggested riddle or one you pick. CLOSED QUESTIONS, THREE ANSWERS Yes. No. Doesn't matter. That is the whole mechanic, and it holds a whole evening. A FREE RIDDLE EVERY DAY A new free case opens every day. Premium unlocks them all at once. A TUTORIAL YOU ACTUALLY PLAY No rules to read: on first launch you run a real demo investigation, place your bet on the answer, then discover the truth. EIGHT LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. Every game ends properly: case closed or complete failure, with your score and a challenge to send your friends. No ads. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | The Full Collection | $2.99 | one-time | ## Is The Hidden Side safe?

Clues confirmed by the Keeper are revealed to the Investigator as the game goes on. KEEPER MODE The board game, guided by the app, on a single phone. One player referees, the others investigate. Handing over the device is protected by a press-and-hold, and the checklist of clues to guess fills up as you play. Two possible endings: case closed, or complete failure.
