How it works

  1. 1

    On the first night, read the Known Killer's name and tap I've seen.

  2. 2

    By day, nudge the accusations his way, slowly enough to stay out of the killers' sights.

What it does

On the first night your phone names the Known Killer: you know one killer from the start.

You have no other power.

Lead the town towards the Known Killer without showing what you know, or the killers will make you their next victim.

A host rule can make killing the Police Officer a win for the killers, as some groups play it.

It's off by default.
