Wink Murder

One secret murderer lurks among the group, silently eliminating players with a wink. Everyone else is trying to catch the killer before it's too late. Paranoia and bad poker faces make this one endlessly entertaining.

How to Play

  1. 1

    One player is chosen as the Detective and leaves the room (or covers their eyes).

  2. 2

    The remaining players secretly vote on or randomly select one person to be the Murderer.

  3. 3

    The Detective returns. Everyone makes eye contact freely — the Murderer kills players by subtly winking at them.

  4. 4

    A winked player must wait 3–5 seconds and then dramatically 'die' and sit out.

  5. 5

    The Detective gets three chances to correctly identify the Murderer. If they guess right, they win. If the Murderer eliminates everyone first, the Murderer wins.

  6. 6

    Rotate the Detective role each round.
