Who Is

🕵️ Who Is?: Contextual Clues and Social Deduction

Who Is? belongs to the genre of lateral thinking puzzles (similar to Brain Out). Each level presents a question: "Who is the alien?" "Who is cheating?" "Who is the werewolf?" The solution is never found by just looking; it requires active interrogation of the scene. The player must drag objects, check pockets, and interpret body language to find the evidence. It gamifies the process of inductive reasoning.

This game is popular in 2026 for challenging cognitive bias. The obvious answer is usually a trap. The game forces players to question their assumptions and look for empirical proof within the interactive illustration.

🧠 Cognitive & Deductive Skills

Solving the riddles requires Sherlock-style logic:

• Evidence Synthesis: You find a wig in a bag and a photo of a bald man. Connecting these two independent clues to identify the imposter trains associative thinking.
• Environmental Manipulation: The answer is often hidden. You might need to wipe makeup off a face or turn off the lights to see glowing eyes. This promotes an inquisitive, experimental mindset.
• Stereotype Subversion: The game plays on tropes. The "criminal" might look like a sweet old lady. Players learn to judge based on clues, not appearances.

🎮 Mechanics & Interactions

The engine supports diverse puzzle types:

• X-Ray/Scanner: Some levels provide tools to look through bags or clothes. This "Superman Vision" mechanic adds a layer of depth to 2D sprites.
• Dialogue Trees: Clicking characters might trigger speech bubbles. Inconsistencies in their stories (logic puzzles) often reveal the liar.
• Physics Triggers: Gravity and motion apply. Tilting a character might make a stolen item fall out of their pocket.

🏆 Detective Strategy

1. Interact with Everything

Before guessing, click every object. Open every drawer. Remove every hat. The game rarely punishes exploration. Gather all data points before forming a conclusion.

2. Read the Prompt Carefully

The question contains the clue. If it asks "Who is rich?" look for subtle signs of wealth (brand labels, gold teeth) rather than obvious piles of money, which might be fake.
