Players receive numbered silhouette cards and three of them are placed face-up as suspects while another is set aside as the victim. Each round, players secretly view and pass silhouettes, then sequentially peek at some suspects and place colored accusation markers beneath one suspect they choose. After all markers are placed the suspects are revealed and the guilty party is determined by a simple numeric rule (highest number is guilty unless a specific number is present, and blank is always innocent). Correct accusers keep their markers; incorrect markers are flipped and transferred according to the stack below each suspect. Rounds repeat with a rotating first-player; accumulating too many or losing all tokens eliminates a player.
