Confidential
Open a case
Two suspects share one alibi. Interrogated separately, will their stories match?
The rest of the class are the detectives.
The accusation
Suspects:
Claim:“We were together the whole time. We have an alibi.”
Phase 1 · Alibi preparation
Suspects: agree on every detail
Show this list to the suspects before they leave the room, then hide it while detectives prepare.
Detectives: plan your questions
- Ask both suspects the same questions.
- Ask about small details — food, clothes, money, times.
- Ask follow-up questions: Who paid? What color was it?
- Take notes. You will compare the two stories.
Phase 2 · Interrogation — Suspect 1
Detective question bank — tap to cross off
Evidence board — tap a pin when Suspect 2 contradicts it
Phase 4 · The verdict
Case closed
Fewest contradictions wins. An airtight alibi beats a guilty conscience.
