• After each round, the players will open their eyes and find who died;
• The players must all vote together on who accuse and eliminate;
• During the first round there's a ''Skip vote'' option;
• The players win if they find the killer and lose if either the killer doesn´t get caught or if they eliminate the imposter;
• In every 2 rounds, the players have the choice to roll the dice to get a clue: a yes or no question to the Magsman. If the number is 1,3 or 5, means the players can't ask for the clue, but if it's 2,4 or 6 means they can. If the player eliminates the wrong person, then they're eliminated as well.
