Red Herring

A chaotic party puzzle game for nefarious tricksters and schemers.

Social deception meets escape room. Inspired by tabletop games like One Night Ultimate Werewolf and video games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Red Herring challenges you to work together AND against one another, simultaneously. Solve devious puzzles and manipulate your friends as you do so!

Four players must attempt to work together—and against one another—in order to solve a series of escape-room-inspired puzzles. Only one player (the ‘Detective’) can directly interact with the game at any given time, while the rest of the players must use their keen eyes to spot clues and sharp tongues to communicate with, manipulate, and deceive the Detective.
