A Carnivore Did It! is a cooperative deduction game where something has gone horribly wrong, and your job is to figure out who’s responsible. The obvious answer might be a carnivore, but don’t get too comfortable. The culprit could be an herbivore, or there might even be two or three criminals hiding among the suspects!
Each case gives you a group of suspects, with every suspect assigned a statement such as “Shark is telling the truth” or “A carnivore did it.” You’ll know how many culprits you’re looking for, along with clues about how truthful the suspects are. Maybe only one suspect is lying, or perhaps three or four are telling the truth. By combining all the information, you’ll need to work out which statements can be trusted and, ultimately, who committed the crime.
With 2,000 cases to solve, there’s plenty of detective work to get through. The puzzles gradually become more challenging, introducing up to seven suspects, conditional statements and different levels of truthfulness as you progress. There’s also a campaign mode that links multiple cases together, with your score based on how quickly you can crack each mystery. Of course, that score won't mean much if you spend half an hour staring at a shark and accusing the wrong herbivore.
