About Guilty as Sock!
Guilty as Sock! is a chaotic multiplayer courtroom where each player assumes a distinct role—prosecutor, witness, bailiff, journalist, juror, or judge. Using evidence cards, players argue, interrupt, and even toss paper balls to sway the judge and jurors toward a verdict that matches their side. The judge moderates the floor, can punish disruptive participants, and decides which evidence stays in play. Humor and disorder are encouraged, making every trial a noisy, unpredictable showdown that can end in a fair decision or a deliberately rogue outcome.
01 / THE GUIDE
Roles and Objectives
Every participant receives a courtroom role. Prosecutors launch accusations, witnesses provide key facts, bailiffs keep order, journalists can publish up to three articles per trial, and jurors vote via buzzers while doodling on their slates.
Each role contributes to the trial’s flow, and the collective aim is to influence the judge and jurors so the final verdict aligns with your team’s position.
- Remember the journalist can publish up to three articles per trial; use them sparingly as evidence.
- Bailiffs have tools to subdue unruly players, helping maintain a manageable pace.

- Discarding absurd evidence can refocus discussion on stronger arguments.

The judge decides which cards remain in play, allowing strategic discarding or acceptance that can tip the balance of the trial.
- Mix genuine and absurd cards to create uncertainty among opponents.
- Observe the judge’s reactions to gauge which evidence is likely to be kept.
