Batman: Everybody Lies

Batman: Everybody Lies is a story-driven, cooperative

deduction game based on the system of award-winning

Detective game series. It deliveres deeply thematic

experience that challenge 2-4 players to team up with

the caped crusader and bring the theatrics and themes

of Batman to life. Players need to gather evidence and

connect the facts to unravel the mystery. Every scenario

ends with a final report with questions verifying how well

the team has investigated the case.

Fully anchored in rich comics lore, Batman: Everybody

Lies challenges players to take on the roles of four key

investigators – instinctive journalist Warren Spacey,

tenacious reporter Vicki Vale, brutish detective Harvey

Bullock, or the cunning Catwoman – who are drawn into

a series of mysterious events unfolding in Gotham City

for their own respective agendas, ultimately becoming

unlikely allies entrusted to help thwart villains new and

old as only Gotham’s greatest detective can!

Yet even when these unlikely allies combine forces, their

goals are not always aligned. So to capture the complexity

of the comics, Portal has added a new hidden agenda

mechanic to the Detective system, which assigns secret

goals and unique win conditions for each player based

upon which DC character they portray.

Beginning with an introductory Prologue designed to

get players acquainted with the game rules, Batman:

Everybody Lies then continues with three big cases to

solve, each taking roughly 2-3 hours to play. Each case

can be played separately as stand-alone episodes, yet

should players crack all four cases, they will unravel a

master narrative with an epic climax.
