Too Mean or Too Nice
Quick answer
If the suspect shuts down, remove insults and ask about facts. If they keep lying, quote one contradiction and ask them to explain it.
If the suspect shuts down, remove insults and ask about facts. If they keep lying, quote one contradiction and ask them to explain it.
The official description warns that harsh prompts can make the suspect shut down and overly gentle prompts can let them lie. Tone control is therefore part of the puzzle, not just flavor.
When the suspect shuts down, your wording is probably too personal. Replace you are evil or stop lying with a factual contrast: Your timeline changed between the hallway and the office. Explain that change.
When the suspect keeps lying, your wording may be too soft or too broad. Add one piece of evidence and one requested action. You knew the drawer was open before anyone told you. Tell me how you knew.
A balanced pressure prompt has three parts: earlier statement, conflicting detail, and a direct question. It avoids insults, threats, and multi-question paragraphs. This keeps the AI focused on the contradiction.
If tone problems happen late in the 10-try limit, do not restart the investigation inside the same attempt. Spend the next prompt repairing the frame, then use the final prompt for a short confession ask.
Practical route
- Start with one neutral question that asks for a timeline, place, object, or witness.
- Turn every new concrete detail into a short note before asking the next question.
- Press only one contradiction at a time, using the suspect's own wording.
- Save the final tries for a direct confession ask that names the strongest evidence chain.
Mistakes to avoid
- Do not ask two unrelated questions in one terminal prompt.
- Do not insult the suspect when a factual contradiction would apply more pressure.
- Do not treat a daily or custom case as identical to a previous route.
- Do not waste the last two tries collecting background facts that do not lead to the action.

Tone diagnosis
Too mean usually looks like refusal, shorter answers, or defensive deflection. Too nice looks like friendly but useless agreement. The fix is not to become theatrical. The fix is to make the next prompt factual and narrow.
Use calm pressure: name one contradiction, ask for one explanation, and avoid insults. If the suspect lies, ask for a concrete time, place, or object. If they shut down, reset with a neutral question that still points at evidence.
Last-try decisions
When two or fewer tries remain, stop repairing tone unless the suspect cannot answer at all. Use the best contradiction you have and ask for the full truth. A weak final prompt asks how they feel. A stronger one asks what they did and why the evidence points to them.

Quick FAQ
Should I copy a video prompt exactly?
No. Use videos to understand the shape of a successful route, then adapt the wording to the current answer. AI Interrogation responses can vary, so exact copying can waste a try when the suspect reacts differently.
What should I do after a vague answer?
Ask for one concrete detail. Time, place, object, witness, and motive questions are easier to evaluate than broad accusations.
When should I stop gathering clues?
Stop when you have one contradiction strong enough to explain in a single sentence. The last attempts should press that contradiction and ask for the action behind it.
