About the Game

When the lights go out, everyone can move and the Killer can strike. When they come back on, every player freezes in place, turning the whole room into a ridiculous crime scene.

A Murder Mystery in Motion

Unpredictable timing, risky deductions, glowing googly eyes, and absurd frozen poses turn every round into a tense and very silly murder mystery.

Lights Out!

Blackouts arrive at unpredictable intervals. In the darkness, you can see glowing eyes across the room, but you must get close to discover who they belong to and what they are doing.

Freeze!

When the lights return, everyone is caught in a sudden freeze-frame. A suspicious position, an escape route, or someone standing a little too close to a body could expose the Killer. Pay attention: every pose can become evidence.

Find the Killer!

The Killer has no special glow, color, or visual marker. Watch how players move, remember where their eyes were in the darkness, compare stories, and decide who can really be trusted.

Take the Shot!

The Sheriff has one chance to stop the Killer, but can only shoot in the dark and at close range. Choose carefully: shoot an Innocent, and both of you are eliminated. If the Sheriff falls, the gun will eventually pass to another Innocent.
