Everyone in the room was in the gallery that evening, and one of them is a murderer. Over three rounds, the players question each other, study the evidence and decide who did it, how and why. Then the host opens the solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHost: how the game works and the rules, a before-the-night plan (what to print and when), a running order of about 2½ hours with time for food, and scripts to read aloud for the opening, each round, the accusations and the reveal.
