Summary
Three players: two are detectives, one is a suspect. Before the scene, the two detectives leave the room. The audience gives the suspect a crime, a location, and an accomplice. The detectives return and must interrogate the suspect — asking questions, reading physical cues, and piecing together what happened. The suspect answers truthfully but never directly — they can only confirm or deny through behavior, oblique statements, and reactions. The detectives must deduce all three elements through genuine investigative questioning.
Example
Crime: stole a boat. Location: a cheese shop. Accomplice: a mime. Detectives ask questions. Suspect: “I’ve always had a complicated relationship with dairy.” Detectives: “The cheese shop! Were you there with someone?” Suspect looks pointedly at an invisible person beside them and makes no sound.
