Be The Judge is a casual decision-making game where you take on the role of a courtroom judge. Played in your browser, this HTML5 game challenges you to analyze short, often humorous scenarios, review evidence, and decide who is guilty and who is innocent.
Using simple mouse controls, you'll pass judgment and see the immediate consequences of your choices.
Each level in Be The Judge presents a unique case for you to solve. The situations range from simple disputes, like who broke a vase, to more complex moral quandaries. You are presented with the characters involved and a brief description of the incident.
To make your ruling, you'll need to examine clues and listen to what the characters say. The game often includes visual evidence or short testimonies that you must consider before making a final decision.
The cases are designed to be quick, making it a great game for short breaks.
The core mechanic is straightforward. After reviewing the facts, you'll be presented with two primary options- typically declaring one party guilty and the other innocent. Your choice immediately triggers an animation showing the outcome of your verdict.
Some choices also influence a morality meter, pushing you towards being an "Angel" or a "Devil." This adds a layer of personality to your judicial career, as you decide whether to be merciful or strict.
Your performance is often tracked, encouraging you to make the most logical choices based on the evidence provided.
You can play Be The Judge directly in your web browser with no downloads required. Because it's a simple HTML5 game, it runs on most devices and isn't blocked by school or work networks.
Enjoy your career as a judge for free and see if you have what it takes to deliver justice.
Your goal in Be The Judge is to carefully assess each case presented and deliver a fair verdict. Analyze the situation, examine the clues, and decide who is truly at fault.
The game is controlled entirely with your mouse. Use a left click to interact with clues, read testimonies, and select your final judgment of "Guilty" or "Innocent."
Progression is level-based. Each time you successfully rule on a case, you advance to the next one. The scenarios become progressively more nuanced, requiring you to pay closer attention to the details to make the correct call.
Read Everything - Don't skim the case details. A single word or phrase can be the key piece of information you need to make the right choice. Examine All Clues - Make sure to click on every piece of evidence available.
Overlooking one item can lead you to the wrong conclusion. Look for Contradictions - Pay attention to what each character says. Often, the guilty party will say something that contradicts the physical evidence or another person's statement.
Think About Motive - Ask yourself why a character would commit the act. Understanding the potential motivation can help separate the likely culprits from the innocent bystanders. Trust Your Gut - While evidence is key, sometimes the most absurd-sounding story is the true one.
If something feels off, it's worth a second look.
