Overview

In Awkward Guests: The Walton Case, you and your fellow players become detectives, piecing together the events surrounding a mysterious murder. Each player starts with partial information – cards representing clues, suspicions, and character relationships – that only they can see. Your goal is to deduce the truth: who committed the crime, with what weapon, and why.

The core gameplay revolves around strategically sharing and requesting information from the other players. But information isn't given freely! Players must carefully consider which questions to ask and how much information to reveal, balancing the need for new clues with the risk of inadvertently helping their opponents. By cleverly trading insights and interpreting subtle tells, you will narrow down the possibilities and ultimately solve the Walton Case.
