About The Cupbearer

This game requires an OVR Omara device to be played

Every scent is a clue.

The Cupbearer is a one-of-a-kind royal deduction game where smell is the heart of the mystery. As the royal cupbearer, you must inspect drinks, identify poisoned cups, and decide what is safe to serve in a court where trust is fragile and one mistake can be fatal.

Smell is the puzzle

In The Cupbearer, scent is king.Each drink carries clues through smell, and every cup asks you to pay attention, compare what you notice, and make a decision before it is too late. The mystery is solved not just by what you see or hear, but by what you can sense.

Serve a dangerous court

You stand between the throne and those who would poison it. Serve nobles, listen carefully, and watch how the court reacts. Every guest has a place in the mystery, but not everyone can be trusted.

Identify the poison

Every drink could be harmless. Every drink could be deadly. Use scent, context, and deduction to uncover the truth before the wrong cup reaches the wrong hands.
