Plan your next Who's Cheating? session
Our guide helps you dissect Who’s Cheating? by focusing on each role’s tools, the optional sabotage options, and the side pool activity. Understanding how each mechanic interacts lets you make smarter deductions and enjoy the chaotic fun without relying on hidden tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Cheater vs. Guard information flow
Observe how the Cheater’s glasses give a private preview of the next win, while the Guard receives public, real‑time win data. Note the timing differences and how they affect each player’s decision window.
- Observe betting patterns early to spot the Cheater’s advantage.
- Watch the Guard’s scanner for win locations to narrow suspects.
02 / THE GUIDE
Track money movement with the Robber
When the Robber steals 40% of another’s funds, record the before and after totals. Compare this to normal betting losses to see how the theft stands out to the Guard’s scanner.
- Use the glasses just before the bet resolves to reduce suspicion.
- Blend your reactions with other players to avoid drawing attention.
03 / THE GUIDE
Identify Jester patterns
Watch a player who consistently loses chips. Contrast their loss rate with typical gambling losses to determine if they’re intentionally playing the Jester role.
- Cross‑reference scanner data with betting activity to pinpoint the Cheater.
- Take notes on who reacts after wins to support your decision.
04 / THE GUIDE
Use the pool lounge for theory testing
While playing pool, discuss observed betting behaviors with teammates. The relaxed setting can reveal insights that might be missed during the high‑tension casino round.
- If playing Robber, target players who seem less likely to be the Cheater.
- Jesters should lose consistently but avoid obvious sabotage that alerts the Guard.
05 / THE GUIDE
Balance suspicion and evidence
Combine scanner data, betting outcomes, and player reactions. Weigh each piece of evidence before the Guard decides to fire, ensuring the shot is based on solid deduction rather than guesswork.
- Use the lounge to discuss theories with teammates without game pressure.
- Practice pool shots to improve your aim for future matches.
