Rules

A game can be started when there are at least 3 players connected to a lobby. The game will start when the host (the person who created the game) clicks on the start button.

Each round, a random person is chosen to be the "guesser" and everyone else is a "suspect". Suspects will scour random Wikipedia articles and this will be their "topic".

After some time, a random topic between the suspect's topics will be chosen. Everyone (including the guesser) will be shown the title of the topic, without its description.

Players will now take turns trying to convince the guesser that the chosen topic is theirs, when in reality only one player knows what the topic is about.

When the guesser has made up their mind, they can select who they think is telling the truth. If they are correct, they will get 1 point and the person who convinced them will get 1 point. If they are wrong, the liar will get 2 points instead.

The game will continue until all players have been the guesser at least once.
