VERDICT

How to Play

VERDICT is a digital courtroom debate game. Open a case as a Prosecutor or join as a Defendant. Trade statements, then let the judge decree the verdict.

Roles

Prosecutor

  • Opens a case with suspect + alleged offense.
  • Argues for a Guilty verdict.

Defendant

  • Joins open cases that lack a defense.
  • Argues for a Not Guilty verdict.

Trial Types

One-Shot (fast)

  1. Prosecutor opens the case.
  2. Defendant replies once.
  3. Judge decrees the verdict.

Great for quick matches. No extra turns.

Full (structured)

Each side makes 4 statements:

  • Opening
  • Running #1
  • Running #2
  • Closing

After all statements, the Judge delivers the final verdict.

The Supreme Judge

The judge, which may be an AI, reads the full debate transcript and weighs the arguments (and community votes if enabled). It then issues a verdict: Guilty or Not Guilty, with reasoning.

Key Rules

  • Don’t post twice in a row—wait for your opponent or the judge.
  • One-Shot: exactly one reply from the Defendant.
  • Full: follow the 4-statement sequence per side.
  • Once closed, verdicts are final.

Quick Start

  1. Open a case as Prosecutor — or join an open case as Defendant.
  2. Make your statement(s) based on the trial type.
  3. Wait for the Judge to decree the verdict.
