About this game

Insider hides a manipulator in plain sight, someone who already knows the secret word and is quietly steering everyone else toward guessing it without ever admitting they knew all along. The master picks a word only the master and the Insider see, then the rest of the group fires yes-or-no questions for five minutes trying to land on it. Once the word is found, the real game starts, everyone votes on who they think the Insider was, and that player only wins by staying convincingly invisible the whole time. Fifteen fast minutes, minimal setup, and a genuinely satisfying moment of doubt when the reveal proves you were played.
