About this game

One player knows the murderer and murder weapon — but can only point at scene tiles to communicate, never speak. Everyone else debates, accuses, and tries to solve the case while the murderer hides in plain sight. Deception: Murder in HK scales brilliantly up to twelve players and generates chaotic, cinematic moments.
