Alibi

How to play Alibi

Two suspects try to tell the same story without hearing each other’s answers. Everyone else investigates and decides how well their accounts match.

1. Choose two suspects and read the accusation. They get 45 seconds to agree on the details of their story. Start the preparation timer when they are ready.

2. Each suspect answers the same five questions separately on the phone. Keep the answers private until both interviews are finished.

3. Predict how many answers will match, then compare them one by one. The group judges each match; the suspects score one point per match. New suspects take over next round.

4. Play multiple rounds with different pairs of suspects. Higher match count means suspects told a better coordinated story. After all rounds, add up each pair’s total matches to determine the overall winners.

✳ 15 accusations with five questions each.
