Winning
Who, Method, Motive — and three tiers of victory.
Lock in three answers
At the final accusation, you lock in Who, Method, and Motive. The game grades you against the true story. Naming the Culprit is the floor, not the ceiling.
Three tiers of victory
Tier 1 · Easiest
Smoking Gun
The gun was revealed and you convicted the right Culprit. Method and Motive optional — the gun did the heavy lifting.
Tier 2 · Medium
Detective
Convict the Culprit and prove the Method. No gun required — just actual detective work.
Tier 3 · Hardest
Perfect Justice
Convict, Method, and Motive. The whole story, proven end to end.
Fine print
- Gun blocked? A conviction alone isn’t enough — you must also prove Motive.
- Convicting the accomplice never counts. The Guilty Party walks.
- The guilty team wins if the wrong person goes down, the proof is missing, or the rounds run out.
