How It Plays

1. 1. Introduction

   The host opens the dossier. Each player learns their role, their public goal, their secret goal, and the relationships they walked in with.

2. 2. Investigation

   Players take actions, find clues, interrogate one another, complete public goals. The phase advances when the table's mandatory goals are complete — not when a clock runs out. The host can override if play stalls.

3. 3. Accusation

   Each player names whom they believe did it. A majority verdict convicts.

4. 4. Reveal

   The dossier opens. The killer is named. Scores are tallied — for catching the killer, for finishing your goals, and for the evening's small extras (best dressed, best acting, successful theft).
