Questions we get asked

Is Red Herring free?
Yes. One full case every day, free forever. Red Herring Pro adds the back catalogue, hard mode and replays.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play as a guest straight away. Creating an account keeps your streak safe across devices.
How many questions do I get?
Fifteen per case. Hard Mode, for Pro members, cuts that to twelve and makes suspects far less forthcoming.
Do the suspects really understand what I type?
Yes — they're AI characters with a fixed set of facts about that night. They can't invent evidence, but they can dodge, deflect and lie.
Is every case actually solvable?
Every case has one culprit and one motive, and the lie can always be caught by comparing at least two other suspects' answers.
Will sharing my result spoil the case?
Never. Share cards show the episode number, your streak and how you placed — never the killer or the motive.
When does a new episode drop?
Midnight, in your own time zone. Everyone plays the same case on the same calendar day.
