Inspired by classics like The Resistance and Secret Hitler, Secret Jesus is a social deduction game for 5–13 players set in the final days of Jesus life. Will Jesus escape the crucifixion? Will the Apostles unmask Judas in time? Or will the Romans strike at the heart of the resistance? What Makes It Unique? There is no moderator: everybody plays. There is no elimination, making the game more entertaining for everybody at all times. Thanks to the Revelations, every game is unique, as they radically change the course of the game. The information asymmetry is threefold: Romans are known to everyone from the beginning; every Christian knows who Jesus is; nobody knows who Judas is. Many roles, many unique gameplays: For the Romans, Secret Jesus plays like a logic puzzle. They watch how Chapters play out and piece by piece they try to figure out who Jesus is. For the Christians, the game is all about deception. They act like a cover team, working to spot Judas and shield Jesus without revealing him. More important, everyone is pretending to be Jesus, flipping the usual hidden-role formula. —description from the publisher
