Detective

What is DETECTIVE?

DETECTIVE is a "chat game" where the player gets randomly paired with either another player or an automated chat bot, powered by BOT Libre (ROBOT). You will also be randomly assigned a role of either a DETECTIVE or an IMPOSTOR.

  • What is the answer to the math question of 2+2?
  • > it depends on how you phrase the question
  • You are an imposter
  • INCORRECT
  • Game is over
An example game, see more on /r/impostors

As a DETECTIVE, you must figure out whether you are speaking with a ROBOT (the chat bot) or an IMPOSTOR, another human player pretending to be a ROBOT.

If you are an IMPOSTOR, you must trick the DETECTIVE into thinking that they are speaking to a ROBOT.

An upcoming feature will add a scoring system that shows how many times you uncovered an IMPOSTOR and how many times you deceived a DETECTIVE.

Privacy policy

None of the conversations are saved on my server -- unless either of the human players click on one of the sharing buttons after the game is over. This saves the chat log into the database and generates a link to a page that can be shared, like this one. Chat logs between a human player and the ROBOT are saved by BOT Libre (link to their Privacy Policy page). I myself browse the chat logs to help train the chat bot so that his answers can appear more human-like.
