The crew
You know the word.
Ask and answer carefully. Find Shaksy before the word is guessed.
Field manual / 04 steps
How to play
Read the room. Protect the secret. Find the one who doesn't know.
Investigation protocol
Four moves. One hidden identity.
A round takes five to ten minutes, for three to eight players, with nothing to download.
Evidence 01
Gather the crew
Create a room and share its code. Bring three to eight players into the same investigation.
Evidence 02
Read your file
Most players receive the secret word: a place, a food, an animal, a thing, a job or an activity. One player is Shaksy, with no clue at all.
Evidence 03
Question the room
Take turns asking subtle questions. Prove what you know without exposing the answer.
Evidence 04
Make your call
When discussion ends, vote for the player you think is bluffing. The crew wins by catching Shaksy.
Questioning guidance
Say enough to prove it.
Good questions reveal whether someone knows the word. Direct questions hand Shaksy the answer.
Interrogation memo
Ask like this
- “Would families enjoy this?”
- “Is it something you see every day?”
Never like this
- “Is it an airport?”
- “Do planes land there?”
Shaksy
You are the unknown.
Listen for clues, blend in, and try to work out the word before the vote.
