Terms

The terms of the town

Last updated October 8, 2026 (season three added)

Alibi Town is free to play, with one thing for sale: season three. It is offered as it is. Play it kindly, don't try to break it, and remember your town lives in your browser, so we can't get it back if it's lost.

Who we are

Alibi Town is run by Media Yard LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("we", "us"). By playing, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't play.

The game

• The game, seasons one and two and the Daily Alibi are free and need no account.
• Your town is saved only in your browser on this device. We keep no copy and cannot restore one.
• We may change, pause or end the game at any time.

Season three

• Season three ("The Grandmaster": ten cases and its story) costs $19, plus any tax that applies where you live. You pay once; there is no subscription and nothing renews.
• Payment is taken by Stripe, which is the seller of record. After paying you are given a key. The key opens season three in any browser you enter it in, for your own household's use. Please don't publish or sell it.
• Keep your key. Your town itself is still saved only in your browser; the key brings back the season, not a lost town.
• Refunds: if you ask within 14 days of buying, we will refund you. Write to the address below with the email you paid with. Nothing here limits any right to a refund that your local law gives you.
• We may change the price for future buyers. If we ever stop offering the game, we will try to give notice here first.

What you write

Place names and alibis are yours. They stay on your device, except as the privacy page describes when live townsfolk are seated. Don't write anything unlawful, hateful or that gives away someone's private details.

The townsfolk

When the townsfolk are live, their lines are written by an AI model. They are meant to be gentle and silly, but an AI can say something odd, wrong or unsuitable. Nothing a townsperson says is advice or a statement of fact. If one says something it shouldn't, please tell us.

Fair use

Don't use automated tools to hammer the site, try to get at the systems behind it, or use the townsfolk for anything other than playing the game.

No warranty, limited liability

The game is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. To the same extent, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for the loss of a town or its records, and our total liability to you is limited to fifty US dollars. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States.
