HOW TO PLAY

Wink Detective

Catch the hidden winker—or choose a silent victim and escape the accusation.

SETUP

Get ready

Four to six players receive private Winker, Detective, or Bystander roles each round.

HOW TO PLAY

Take your turn

  1. The winker privately chooses one other player as the victim.
  2. The selected victim is privately notified and must keep a straight face.
  3. The detective makes one private accusation from the remaining players.
WINNING

Finish on top

A correct detective scores 1,000 points. A wrong accusation awards the winker 1,000.

QUICK TIPS

Play smarter

  • The winker should vary how quickly they choose.
  • The detective can use everyone’s reactions, but gets only one accusation.
