Detective LeagueDetective League Rules — How to Play Online and Tabletop
A short guide for online play: profession, secret, five questions, guesses, and scoring.
How it works online
The site replaces the screen and notepad: only you see your cards; the server keeps phases and timers in sync.
Speak at the table or in voice chat — the app tracks turns and scores.
Create a room, pick a pack, and share the room code from the home page.
Each player gets a secret profession and secret. Everyone answers the same five questions, hinting at their character so most players can guess — but not everyone.
After answers, players write guesses about others. Cards are revealed and victory points (VP) are scored.
- 2–6 players
- 30–60 minutes per session
- 1+ rounds by group choice
Each round has four phases:
- Pick profession and secret
