Remember the thrill of shouting “Hakem Jalad!” with your friends in class, during recess, or out in the streets of your neighborhood? Now you can bring that exact feeling back — and play Hakem Jalad anytime on Appstore and on Google Play.

What is Hakem Jalad?

Hakem Jalad is one of the most loved childhood games in the MENA region, especially in:

• Jordan
• Palestine
• Lebanon
• Syria

It’s a simple, local, and very fun twist on classic games like Clue/Cluedo — but with its own unique flavor that everyone in the region remembers and loves.

How the game works

• Number of players:

  • Typically 4 main players
  • You can add a 5th or even 6th player for extra confusion and fun
  •  

• Roles:
  Each player randomly picks one of the folded papers:

  • Judge
  • Inspector
  • Thief
  • Executioner

• Gameplay:

  1. The Judge asks: “Where’s the Inspector?”
  2. The Inspector replies: “Me.”
  3. The Judge then says: “Find your Thief and Executioner.”
  4. The Inspector has to guess which of the other players is the Thief and which is the Executioner.
  5. If the Inspector guesses correctly:
     • The Judge gives the order, and the Executioner “punishes” the Thief with a set number of hits (traditionally using a ruler).
  6. If the Inspector is wrong:
     • The Inspector gets the hits instead.

Relive your childhood

Hakem Jalad is perfect for:

• Anyone who wants to relive school memories
• Friends and families looking for simple, social, and nostalgic fun
• People who grew up in the region and want to share a piece of their childhood with others

Highly recommended for anyone who loves going back to those carefree days of childhood laughter and games.
