Witness
Four players take the roles of investigators in a comic‑strip world and work together to reconstruct the details of a crime. Each case begins with a shared scene or image, then each player consults a personal casebook containing information seen only by that character. Information passes between players in a constrained whispering pattern: players alternately pass and repeat what they have been told, so communication is deliberate and partial. After a set number of exchange rounds players read the case conclusion and then individually answer three questions; the group scores points for each correct answer to produce a team total out of twelve.

Mitchell C5.9 Yes please! This game is great. The best part is when you've all finished and you go through the answers and laugh at how poorly/well you did.
