What it does

Turtle Noir is an immersive AI-powered lateral thinking puzzle game. Experience true "Situation Puzzles" by typing questions to an AI Game Master that strictly answers Yes, No, or Irrelevant. Interrogate suspects, play solo or in online co-op, and watch the scene and music shift as you uncover the truth. You can also submit custom cases for the AI to host, or join the Tearoom to discuss theories.

Turtle Noir (https://turtlenoir.com) is a free online platform for Turtle Soup — the lateral thinking puzzle genre also known as situation puzzles or yes/no riddles. Each puzzle opens with a strange "surface" story; players uncover the hidden truth by asking questions that an AI host answers with yes, no, or irrelevant. Key facts: the AI host knows each puzzle's full solution and answers consistently around the clock; the library contains hundreds of English mystery cases across easy, medium, and hard difficulty; you can play solo or invite up to 10 friends into a shared room; it runs in any browser with no download, and starting isfrom turtlenoir.com

    Hey HN, Michael and Scott here. We’re open-sourcing an interactive murder mystery featuring LLM-driven character agents.
