Gameplay overview

20 questions with an AI hero

Built for Game Off 2024’s "Secrets" theme, Secret Identity is a conversational deduction game. Each session pairs you with an AI-powered superhero persona. Ask open-ended questions, follow up on suspicious answers, and use context clues to guess their secret identity. The faster you solve it, the higher your score and the quicker you move to harder mysteries.

Powered by Cloudflare’s AI stack and packaged with Preact + Tailwind + Vite, the project offers a lightweight, mobile-friendly chat interface that’s easy to fork and reskin with your own superhero roster.

Tips

Reveal the hero faster

  • Lead with broad questions about powers and origin before drilling into specifics.
  • Cross-reference responses—if the hero mentions allies or nemeses, use those to narrow suspects.
  • Keep an eye on the guess counter; you have limited chances to name the correct hero.
