Wamplers Heights HomicideA game of murder & deduction

    Detectives
    1
    1 killer & the chosen detectives are secret. Everyone else is a guest โ€” one of them is the killer's target.
    Roles are random the first round. Each round the previous killer becomes a detective โ€” so no one is the killer twice in a row.
    Made with โ™ฅ at Wamplers Lake.

    The setup

    One of you is secretly the Killer. Some of you are Detectives. Everyone else is a Guest โ€” and one guest has already met their end.

    The evening

    1. Add everyone's name, pick a setting, and press Begin the Evening.

    2. Pass the phone around. Each player privately views their character and secret role, then hides it and passes on. No peeking at anyone else's.

    3. When everyone knows their secret, reveal the victim to the whole group. The killer knows what they did. Nobody else knows who did it.

    4. Talk! Detectives lead the questioning โ€” where was everyone, who saw what? Guests answer as their character. The killer lies.

    Winning the round

    When the detectives are ready, they make ONE accusation as a team. Right โ€” the detectives win. Wrong โ€” the killer escapes into the night and wins. Then start the next round: roles rotate so the old killer joins the detectives.

    House rules we like

    Set a 10-minute timer per round. Killers may lie about anything except their character's name. Dramatic accents strongly encouraged.
