About the game

What you do in a play session

In Dubious, you and your friends become medieval detectives uncovering juicy secrets. Each round, a player crafts a wild story about their character based on occupation and secret cards — but can you trust what they say? Others ask tricky questions and vote on what they think is true, while the storyteller tries to sway the majority. It's a party game blending bluffing, role-playing and deduction: can you spot the knight hiding a thief's past, or the healer who's actually a witch? With simple mechanics but guaranteed laughs, Dubious is perfect for groups who love social games with a fantasy twist. Just don't believe everything you hear...
