ATTENTION! THIS GAME IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH FRIENDS IN PERSON. IF YOU ARE ALONE YOU CANNOT PLAY! Dark Stories is an easy to play and fun game but some of the stories are quite difficult. All the stories are fictional. To solve them, the players will need to prove their skills as detectives. HOW TO PLAY Dark Stories must be played in group. A person -chosen as narrator- picks a mystery and reads its description aloud. Then he/she reads its solution without telling the other people. The rest of the players then have to make questions in order to solve the mystery. The narrator can only answer the questions using "Yes", "No" or "It is not relevant". The only possible solution is the one given at the back of each mystery card. If the answer is still not clear enough, the players must follow the narrator's interpretation of the mystery. EXAMPLE A typical fragment of a gameplay could be: Player1: "Did he die because of the shot?" Narrator:"No" Player2: "Was he poisoned?" Narrator: "No" Player3: "Did he have children?" Narrator: "It's not relevant" Player1: "Are there other people in the story?" Narrator: "No" Player2: "Did he commit suicide?" Narrator: "Yes" ... END OF THE GAME When the narrator considers that the story has been solved enough, the narrator can conclude the game and read the whole solution. It is up to the narrator to give some clues if the story is in a deadlock. WHEN TO PLAY It is perfect for birthday parties, camps... and every situation in which you join several friends. STORIES This free App includes more than 200 stories and we will add new stories periodically. Accidents, suicides, thefts... Will you be able to solve every mystery? Special thanks to Lorena Rebollo, mcwc307 Chan, Rachel Long and Zak Freckelton for their help with the English translation. Rated 18+ by the Indonesia Game Rating System (IGRS).

Triple Agent! is a party game full of hidden identities, backstabbing, bluffing and deduction. "Triple Agent. Social deduction for 5 to 9 players on one phone. It's fantastic, get it. We are yelling at each other all the time" - John Bain, TotalBiscuit "Triple Agent might be the freshest Mafia-like "secret teams" game I've played since Two Rooms and a Boom" - Douglas Wilson, designer of JS Joust "Triple Agent is a good game that your gamer and non-gamer friends will enjoy." - Haoran Un, Kotaku Australia ------ WHAT IS IT? Triple Agent! is a mobile party game about deception and espionage for 5 or more players. All you need to play is a single iOS device and a few friends. Each game is an intense 10 minutes of deception, cunning, and deduction. The base game supports for 5-7 players and includes 12 operations that mix and match to make each round a completely different experience. Buy the expansion to get the most out of Triple Agent! Get more operations, customize your game, and play with up to 9 people! You’ll also unlock a special mode where you can play with Hidden Roles: Special abilities that are randomly assigned to players at the start of a game. ------ GAMEPLAY Each player is secretly assigned a role as a Service agent or a VIRUS double agent. Only the VIRUS agents know who is on which team. However, there will always be fewer VIRUS than Service agents to begin with so they will need to turn the Service agents against each other to win. Pass the device around as you get events that can reveal information about other players, change your team, or give you a completely new win condition. Information is revealed secretly and it is up to each player how much they reveal. As a VIRUS double agent, this is your opportunity to sow doubt about other players. As a Service agent, you need to be careful not to reveal anything that the VIRUS might use against you. At the end of the game each player votes on who to imprison. If a double agent is imprisoned, the Service wins. Otherwise VIRUS does. ------ FEATURES The gameplay builds on the ever popular board game genre of social deduction but adds features that you’ve never seen before: - No setup! Just pick up your phone or tablet. - Learn as you play! No rules-reading required. - Nobody’s left out! The device itself will guide your game. - Different every time! Random sets of operations make every game feel fresh. - Short rounds! Play a quick game or several rounds. Available in 15 languages! - Czech - Danish - Dutch - English - Finnish - French - German - Greek - Icelandic - Italian - Polish - Portuguese - Spanish - Swedish - Turkish
