About this game
Petits Meurtres & Faits Divers hands one player a magnifying glass and everyone else an alibi to sell, using nothing but three mystery words hidden in their private booklet. When your minute comes up, you have to weave a story that works those three words in naturally, sounding just as innocent as everyone else, except the culprit is secretly working with a different set of words entirely. The inspector listens for the odd one out, the small inconsistency that gives away who is truly lying. It rewards quick improvisation and a good poker face far more than deduction skill, and every new case in the booklet delivers a fresh, ridiculous crime to solve.
