AI Game Cards

Social deduction games for ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini

Updated

Solo social deduction: question a cast your AI plays and find the one who is lying, chosen before the game began. Free, no signup. Each game is a ready-to-play prompt (we call it a game card) that you open in your own AI assistant.

Social deduction with an AI is a game in which the assistant voices every suspect at once and you work out which of them is hiding the truth. Who it is goes into the game's file before release, and we publish a fingerprint of the answer, a SHA-256 hash, at the same time. The assistant therefore plays a part it was given and cannot hand the guilt to whoever you happen to distrust.

How does one AI play every suspect and keep the liar fixed?

Social deduction normally needs a table full of people. An assistant can hold every seat at once and keep each character's knowledge and manner steady for a whole game: seven villagers in Ambervale, from a beekeeper to a miller who counts under his breath, and six station crew in Dead Air, from the physician to the cook who keeps the keys.

The part that needs guarding is who is guilty. Decide that during play and the game drifts towards making you right. On both cards the guilty party, the way they give themselves away and the order of what happens each night are written down and sealed before release, and the assistant plays the cast it was handed.

The giveaways come out in play. In Ambervale the thing wearing a neighbour's shape shows small signs, such as knowing about a disappearance slightly too early, and some honest neighbours share one of those signs, so a single oddity proves nothing. In Dead Air you set each account against the station's logs, its standing orders and what the sabotage rig was made of. On both, you are reading conduct across a whole game, and that conduct was fixed in advance.

Questions about social deduction games

Can you play social deduction alone?

That is what both cards are built for. The assistant plays every suspect and keeps each one consistent, so a room full of suspects fits in one chat with one player. In Ambervale you are the inquisitor the village sent for; in Dead Air you are the incident lead with the authority to confine. There is nobody else to round up.

Is it like Werewolf or Mafia?

Ambervale borrows that shape: a killer hidden among villagers, questions and a vote by day, another neighbour gone each night. The difference is that you are the only player and the assistant is everyone else. Dead Air is closer to a closed-circle investigation against a deadline: three watches on an iced-in polar station, and a base that gets colder each time you confine the wrong person.

What happens when I accuse the wrong person?

It costs you, and both cards leave room for two wrong calls; the third has to be right. In Ambervale a neighbour you cast out is gone for good, taking their answers and one more honest pair of hands at the door, and the thing still feeds that night. In Dead Air the person you confine leaves the roster, and the saboteur wrecks the next system on the station overnight. Refusing to act is no escape on either card: the nights run in their fixed order whether you accuse anyone or not.
