How to Play Murder Mystery

At the start of each round, roles are randomly assigned as innocent, sheriff, or murderer, with objectives to either survive, protect the innocents while identifying the murderer, or eliminate everyone. Each is with their own objective and strategy.

Innocents: Their main objective is to survive by avoiding the murderer. Innocents have no weapons and cannot attack but must rely on hiding or strategy to stay alive until the end. They can also help the sheriff identify the right player to eliminate.
Sheriff: Armed with a gun, the sheriff is the only player with a weapon to eliminate the murderer. Their mission is to identify and kill the murderer before they eliminate everyone else. However, shooting an innocent person will result in their own elimination, so as a sheriff, you should always be cautious and observe other players carefully.
Murderer: The murderer’s goal is to secretly eliminate others without getting caught. They must act stealthily and deceive others to avoid suspicion.

Each match is a race against time—innocents must survive, the sheriff must act quickly, and the murderer must remain undetected while completing their objective.

The game features a wide range of abilities for each role to obtain. For example, the “Invis” ability allows the innocents to start the game with an orb that turns them invisible for 10 seconds, while with the “Timestop” ability, the sheriff can freeze time for all players (except them). These abilities help the innocents and sheriff survive and eliminate the murderer more easily.
