Who Stole Ed’s Pants? is a lighthearted game of bluffing, backstabbing, and shifting blame wrapped in the absurd mystery of a missing pair of trousers. Designed for 3–4 players, this social deduction party game asks not “whodunnit?” but “who looks guilty enough to pin it on?” Each round, players influence three evolving “facts” of the crime: When the pants were stolen, Where the theft occurred, Who the culprit resembles. But no one actually knows what happened—least of all Ed. So instead of uncovering truth, players manipulate the narrative by altering facts and planting incriminating evidence on one another. When a round ends, players accrue suspicion points if the fictional facts match their planted evidence. In a 4-player game, players are partnered with the person sitting opposite them, rising or falling as a duo. In 3-player mode, it’s every thief for themselves. Packed with deception, wild accusations, and hilarious logic leaps, Who Stole Ed’s Pants? is less about justice and more about dodging the blame with style.
