« One cheeky question, five seconds on camera. The detector already knows. »

  1. One suspect in front of the camera, one investigator reading the question out loud.
  2. The suspect answers. The detector watches their eyes, head and smile, and listens to their voice if the mic is allowed.
  3. A verdict for every question: truth, suspicious or lie. After 5 questions, the official title.

Allow the camera. The mic is recommended: the detector also listens for hesitation.

Nothing leaves your phone The camera and mic stay on your phone: nothing is recorded or sent. It’s a fake detector, just for laughs: it proves absolutely nothing.

How to play

The Lie Detector is a two-player game on one phone. The suspect faces the camera and the investigator reads a question from a bank of 50 cheeky ones: have you ever lied about your age, stalked your ex, thought about a threesome?

For 5 seconds, the fake polygraph counts blinks, watches for nervous smiles and shifty looks, and listens to how long you take and how many “ums” you make. Verdict: truth, suspicious or lie. It’s a parody: no detector can read minds, least of all this one.

Things people ask us

Does the detector really work?

No. It measures real signs (blinks, movement, hesitation), but that proves nothing. It’s a game, not evidence.

Why the mic?

With the mic, the detector also listens to how long you take to answer, the silences and the “ums”. Without it, it only watches your face.

Is anything recorded?

No. Picture and sound stay on the phone. Nothing is sent to a server.

What age is it for?

16 and up. The questions are cheeky, never filthy.
