HOW TO PLAY:

Use your hidden cameras to spy on the residents and hunt for clues. If you overhear anything suspicious, make sure to take a picture for later. At the end of the night, you’ll organise your evidence to build a case. For example, maybe a certain scene reveals a part of the murder plot, or a suspect’s motive. (Hint: sometimes, photos might be evidence against someone even if that person wasn't in the scene themselves. Pay close attention!)

If you didn’t get the right evidence, don’t worry! Just rewind to the start of the night and take another look. This game isn’t meant to be beaten in one try!
