Batman: Everybody Lies is a cooperative deduction game that immerses 2-4 players in a story-driven experience set in Gotham City. Based on the award-winning Detective game series, it allows players to step into the roles of key investigators like Warren Spacey, Vicki Vale, Harvey Bullock, or Catwoman, each with their own agendas.

Players must gather evidence, connect facts, and solve mysteries, with each scenario ending in a final report to assess their investigation. The game features a hidden agenda mechanic, giving players secret goals and unique win conditions based on their DC character. Starting with an introductory Prologue, players will tackle three major cases, each taking about 2-3 hours to complete, and uncover a master narrative if all cases are solved.
