The Last Word: AI Detective

🎙️ Ask by voice or type your questions. Piece together the truth — before your questions run out.

The Last Word is an AI-powered detective and deduction game. Play solo on your phone or pass it around with friends. Interrogate witnesses, guess hidden words, and close cases in a noir-style transcript — powered by Google Gemini when you enable AI tools in Settings.

🔍 HOW IT WORKS
─────────────────────
• GUESS THE WORD — Classic 20 Questions with AI. Pick a category; the game hides a secret word. Ask yes/no questions (and “not applicable” when it fits). Make your final guess when you’re ready.
• STORY DETECTIVE — Full case files: setting, suspects, and witness dialogue. Ask specific questions, inspect clues, accuse the right suspect, or surrender when you’re stuck.
• Family-friendly case packs use a wholesome tone (no graphic violence). Noir packs tell crime stories in text — tense, but not gory on screen.

More modes (Black Stories, Speed Oracle, Roleplay Mystery) are rolling out via updates — some require progress or Detective’s Pass.

⚡ DIFFICULTY
─────────────────────
🟢 ROOKIE — Free hints. Easier pacing.
🔵 DETECTIVE — Standard interrogation.

🔴 NOIR MASTER — For experienced detectives.

Question limits depend on the case (typically 8–25). Difficulty affects hints, XP, and how cagey witnesses sound.
