What happened
WhoDunnitAI is a voice-driven murder mystery game where players interview AI-generated suspects about a poisoning case, pressing them on alibis and catching contradictions. Only 8 of 185 investigations have been solved, with a typical solve time of 21 minutes.
Why it matters
The low solve rate (8/185) suggests current voice-based AI agents struggle to maintain coherent enough personas for sustained adversarial interrogation, a useful data point if you're building voice-driven interactive agents or game NPCs. The 21-minute typical session length is worth noting as a benchmark for voice agent engagement.
Discussion angle
Why is the solve rate so low (4%)? Is it the difficulty of the mystery, or are the AI suspects breaking character or leaking information under voice interrogation?
