Liar's Duel

Features
Read full description

The AI's answers may be lies. And yours can be too. Ask yes/no questions, uncover your opponent's secret arrangement, and name it first to win. A quick one-on-one deduction duel where bluffing is part of the rules. START WITH PEACE OF MIND - Free to start. No subscription - No third-party ads (the free version may show our other apps) - Your records stay on your device and are never uploaded HOW IT WORKS - You and the AI each hold a secret: who holds which item - Take turns picking a yes/no question from the menu - Each side may lie a set number of times. The limit is public; whether you used it is not - When the AI asks you, you decide: answer honestly, or lie - When you know, declare the whole arrangement. Hit and you win. Miss and you lose on the spot FEATURES - Six AI ranks: Grade School, Middle School, High School, College, Doctorate and Prodigy - Each rank differs in question sharpness, memory, how it uses lies, and when it dares to gamble - Rank ladder: beat a rank to challenge the next. Win three in a row to get certified - Today's Duel: one duel a day, with the same secrets and rules for every player - Guided practice: play a practice duel step by step, with tips on how to think - Deduction board: mark Yes and No to narrow down what's possible - Flag doubtful answers with "?". Provably false answers are struck through in red (can be turned on or off, together with the remaining-count display) - Six themes: People, Animals, Fantasy, Space, Café and Mystery - Records: duels played, win rate, daily streak and rank certificates - Made for iPhone and iPad. On larger screens, text and the board get bigger, and wide screens show the duel log and your questions side by side GREAT FOR - Fans of social deduction and bluffing games who can't always gather a group - Puzzle players who want an opponent, not just a fixed answer - Anyone who enjoys code-breaking games like Bulls and Cows - A few minutes of real thinking during a break - Anyone who wants to test whether they can beat the AI PRIVACY - No account needed - Duels run on your device and work offline - The AI is an on-device search algorithm, not generative AI - The app goes online only to fetch a list of our other apps from Apple
