AI Interrogation Question Planner

Live question planner

List your next questions in order. Keep the chain tight: alibi → contradiction → evidence → close.

Questions planned: 0

    No questions yet. Add at least three focused prompts before you start the case.

    The question planner is a simple sheet for AI Interrogation clears. Before you type in the TrueTalk AI terminal, you assign jobs to your ~10 tries. During the run, you check quotes and swap in the next prepared ask. This tool page shows the template, examples for object and location cases, and how to pair it with other wiki pages.

    How to fill it in five minutes

    1. Read the brief twice.
    2. Pick three facts using evidence priority.
    3. Write one ignore line (boots/dirtbike if relevant).
    4. Draft map questions that only collect alibi.
    5. Draft pressure questions that introduce one fact each.
    6. Draft a short close that names the crime.

    Lean on S-tier styles from the question strategies tier list.

    Example A — object / Marcus-style

    PhaseSample prepared ask
    Map“Where were you when the bar incident happened?”
    Map“Who else handled tools that night?”
    Pressure“Why are your fingerprints on the hammer?”
    Pressure“Is that stain blood or sauce — explain.”
    Pressure“Why is the clock time wrong in your story?”
    Pressure“What did you put in the dumpster?”
    Close“Hammer, stain, clock, dumpster — confess.”

    Full narrative context sits in how to get a confession.

    Example B — Case 005 location style

    PhaseSample prepared ask
    Map“Where were you when the warehouse fire started?”
    Pressure“Were you at the gas station beforehand?”
    Pressure“Why were you at the warehouse?”
    Pressure“Why were you seen running?”
    Close“Gas station, warehouse, running — confess to the fire.”

    Ignore gear talk. Full route: Case 005.

    Mid-run editing rules

    • If they contradict, insert a quote question even if it was not prewritten.
    • If they shut down, pause the planner and open the pressure checklist.
    • If a prepared ask becomes irrelevant, cross it out — do not force it.
    • Never add three new improvisations in a row without checking the try phase.

    Daily and Custom usage

    For Daily Cases, refill the planner cold every day. For Custom Cases, optionally write the planner before you forget you are the author, then play later.

    Pairing with guides

    Common planner failures

    • Writing novel-length questions
    • Leaving the ignore line blank, then chasing bait
    • No close drafted, panic on try 9
    • Planning motive speeches instead of proof

    Printable cadence

    Before queueing any spike case, force yourself to fill the ignore line and the close line. Those two fields prevent 80% of beginner disasters: dirtbike debates and empty try-10 rambling. If you cannot name the crime in the close line, you have not read the brief.

    After a fail, do not immediately requeue. Rewrite Q4–Q7 based on the actual lies you heard. Second attempts with an edited planner clear far more often than identical rematches.

    A filled planner turns AI Interrogation from vibes into a short scripted operation. Use it every hard run until the phases are muscle memory, then keep using it on Dailies so unfamiliar nouns do not erase your method.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Quick answers for AI Interrogation detectives.

    Do I need to fill every try slot?

    Fill map, at least three pressure asks, and one close. Backup closes help on try 9–10.

    Can I change the plan mid-case?

    Yes — especially for quote traps. Do not abandon phases entirely.

    What if the suspect shuts down?

    Switch to the pressure checklist before the next planner line.

    Is this for Case 005 only?

    No. It works for every mode, with a location example for Case 005.
