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 are ready.

STORY DETECTIVE - Full case files: setting, suspects, and witness dialogue. Ask specific questions, inspect clues, accuse the right suspect, or surrender when you are stuck.

DARK TALES - Interactive horror stories led by a narrator. Choose your action - there is no going back. The ending remembers every decision.

SPEED ORACLE - 60-second rounds: read the case note, listen to live testimony, mark lines that contradict the file, then accuse or declare innocent. Requires a detective license via Google Play Games.

Family-friendly case packs use a wholesome tone (no graphic violence). Noir packs tell crime stories in text - tense, but not gory on screen.

Roleplay Mystery and more modes may roll out in future updates - some require progress or Detective's Pass.

WAYS TO PLAY

SOLO - You vs the AI. Enable AI in Settings (internet required for cloud replies).

LOCAL PARTY - 2–8 players, one device, hot-seat turns. Currently: Guess the Word only.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER - Coming soon.

DIFFICULTY

ROOKIE - Free hints. Easier pacing.
DETECTIVE - Standard interrogation.
INSPECTOR - Tighter question budgets on many cases.
NOIR MASTER - For experienced detectives.

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