A Carnivore Did It! — Cooperative Logic & Deduction Game

Bold facts

  • Players: 1–5
  • Play time: ~20 minutes
  • Ages: 8+
  • Core mechanics: Logic deduction, cooperative play, campaign mode, conditional reasoning

What the game is about

  • Each case presents a set of suspects and short statements (e.g., “Shark is telling the truth” or “A carnivore did it”).
  • You know how many culprits to find and have clues about who’s truthful or deceitful. Combine statements, eliminate impossibilities, and reveal the real perpetrator(s).
  • Cases vary — sometimes there’s one guilty party, other times two or three, and later scenarios introduce conditional statements and up to seven suspects.

Why players love it

  • Huge replay value: Over 2,000 unique cases, each with a single solution and steadily increasing difficulty.
  • Quick, brainy play: Short rounds make it perfect for repeat plays, warm‑ups, or puzzle breaks between heavier games.
  • Great solo or group puzzling: Designed for cooperative solving — work together or race the clock in campaign mode.
  • Accessible for kids and adults: Simple rules but deep logical challenges that scale with experience.

Game modes & variety

  • Standard cases: Rapid deduction puzzles from easy to fiendish.
  • Advanced logic: Conditional statements and multi‑culprit cases add complexity.
  • Campaign mode: Link multiple cases into a campaign where your score depends on how quickly you solve each case — adds pressure and progression.

How it plays (quick guide)

  • Choose a Dossier (case) and set up suspects and their statements.
  • Discuss clues with teammates, test hypotheses and mark contradictions.
  • Reveal the solution when you’re confident — uncover lies and confirm the culprit(s).
  • Repeat with new cases for a fresh puzzle every time.

Tips for better solving

  • Take notes and mark contradictions immediately — a small table of truths/lies helps.
  • Start by assuming the minimum number of liars/truth‑tellers and look for contradictions to rule options out.
  • Work in pairs for tricky cases: one tests hypotheses while the other traces logical consequences.
  • Use the campaign timer to practice speed, but don’t rush during particularly knotty statements.

Perfect for

  • Puzzle lovers, families, classrooms, logic club nights, solo players who love brainteasers, and groups wanting a compact cooperative deduction game.
