A Carnivore Did It!

About the game

What is A Carnivore Did It!?

A Carnivore Did It! promises a guilty meat-eater, but you will have to determine the culprit for yourself. Maybe an herbivore was actually behind the crime, or perhaps you're searching for two culprits — or even three? For each case in this co-operative game, you're given a number of suspects, with each suspect being assigned a statement, e.g., "Shark is telling the truth" or "A carnivore did it". You know how many culprits you're looking for, and you have some idea of how truthful everyone is being. Perhaps only one suspect is lying, or perhaps 3-4 of them are telling the truth. Putting all of this information together, can you determine who did the crime? A Carnivore Did It! includes two thousand cases, each with a single solution, with the difficulty increasing to have up to seven suspects, conditional statements, and varying levels of truthiness. Also included is a campaign mode that links several cases together, with you scoring in them based on the amount of time it takes to find each solution...if you find them at all.
