About Who's Cheating?
Who’s Cheating? pits 3‑8 online players against each other in a casino‑themed deduction game. One player is the Cheater, who can see the next winning bet through glasses, while another is the Security Guard, tasked with spotting the cheat and ending the round with a shotgun. Optional roles—Robber and Jester—add extra motives, and a lounge area offers a separate 8‑ball pool mini‑game for a cheat‑free break.
01 / THE GUIDE
Player roles and objectives
Each match includes Innocent Gamblers, a Cheater, and a Security Guard. Optional Robber and Jester roles can be added for more suspicious behaviour. Players must deduce who is cheating while pursuing their own win conditions.
The Cheater uses glasses to reveal the next winning bet, the Guard watches a live Casino Trace scanner to locate wins, the Robber can steal 40% of another player’s money, and the Jester wins by losing every chip.
- Observe betting patterns early to spot the Cheater’s advantage.
- Watch the Guard’s scanner for win locations to narrow suspects.
02 / THE GUIDE
Cheater’s vision ability
The Cheater equips glasses that reveal the next winning bet, allowing them to place a successful wager before others. The goal is to act surprised when the bet pays out.
Success relies on timing the reveal and disguising the advantage, as other players can still notice the win through the Guard’s scanner.
- Use the glasses just before the bet resolves to reduce suspicion.
- Blend your reactions with other players to avoid drawing attention.
03 / THE GUIDE
Security Guard’s detection tools
The Guard monitors the Casino Trace scanner, which displays every win the moment it pays out and its location on the floor. This information guides the Guard toward the Cheater.
When convinced, the Guard ends the round by shooting the Cheater, ideally after some detective work.
The Guard’s role ends once the Cheater is shot.
- Cross‑reference scanner data with betting activity to pinpoint the Cheater.
- Take notes on who reacts after wins to support your decision.
04 / THE GUIDE
Robber and Jester dynamics
The Robber can steal 40% of another player’s money, creating extra tension and making it harder for the Guard to identify the Cheater.
The Jester wins by losing every chip, encouraging deliberately poor play that can mask other motives.
- If playing Robber, target players who seem less likely to be the Cheater.
- Jesters should lose consistently but avoid obvious sabotage that alerts the Guard.
05 / THE GUIDE
Honest lounge pool mini‑game
A separate lounge area offers a cue and a round of 8‑ball pool with real physics. It supports 1v1 or 2v2 matches and provides a break from the cheating drama.
No cheating mechanics are mentioned for this mini‑game, making it a straightforward, honest diversion.
- Use the lounge to discuss theories with teammates without game pressure.
- Practice pool shots to improve your aim for future matches.
