About the game

What is Dubious?

Doubt is in the air! How much can you tell about a person from their clothes or moods? Is it possible to work out their occupation or secret by what they have in their bag? That's what you'll have to do. Answer five questions and listen carefully to what others have to say about themselves. Try to guess who's who and become the shrewdest detective ever! Dubious is a game of deduction in which each player creates a story for their character and tries to get the majority of the players to guess their occupation and secret. At the same time, each player has to listen carefully to what others have to say about themselves and prove their detective finesse. —description from the publisher
