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.

Your objective

What you are trying to achieve

Each session puts you in a chat with an AI-powered superhero whose identity is hidden behind a mask. Your job is to ask questions, follow up on the clues in their answers, and submit the correct hero name before your guess counter runs out.

Solving a mystery quickly earns a higher score and unlocks harder suspects, so efficient questioning matters as much as the final guess.

Beginner guide

Your first few minutes

Secret Identity rewards curiosity more than speed. Follow these steps in your first session and you will build a case instead of guessing blindly.

  1. Send a broad opening question about the hero's powers or origin before asking about specifics.
  2. Read each reply carefully and note any names of allies, nemeses, or locations that could narrow the field.
  3. Ask follow-up questions that test your best theory instead of starting a new topic each time.
  4. Use the suggested prompts when you are unsure what to ask next.
  5. Keep an eye on the guess counter and only submit a name once the clues clearly point to one hero.

Advanced 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.

Why play it?

Chat AI meets guessing game

  • AI-crafted responses ensure different clues each playthrough.
  • Short sessions make it perfect for break-time mysteries.
  • Open-source repo acts as a template for building your own themed chat deduction games.

Our take

Why Secret Identity is intriguing

Secret Identity leans into social deduction rather than action, asking you to read people, cross-check stories, and decide who is hiding something. That slower, investigative pace makes correct deductions feel more like solving a mystery than just picking the most suspicious face.

Because conversations react to your choices, you get a sense of building a case over time instead of just guessing once at the end. That structure gives runs a nice narrative arc even when you do not expose every secret on your first try.

Who will enjoy it?

  • If you enjoy detective games, visual novels, or Werewolf-style deduction but want something you can play solo in a browser, Secret Identity is a good match. Players who want fast-paced action or constant spectacle might find it talk-heavy, but fans of character-driven puzzles will appreciate the focus on dialogue and inference.
