About this game
Unusual Suspects makes your whole team into detectives grilling a single witness who only remembers the thief's habits, never a face. Question cards get flipped to a blunt yes or no, and everyone works together to cross suspects off a grid of twelve before accidentally exposing the actual culprit. The catch is speed: every round costs more, so racing to eliminate people early keeps your final score low. It scales absurdly well, from a tight three-player huddle to a full sixteen-person party crowded around the table, all hunting the same thief together.
