Wink Murder

One player is secretly the killer. They kill people by catching their eye and winking. Anyone who gets winked at waits a moment, then dies as dramatically as they like. Everyone else tries to work out who the killer is before they get winked at too.

Die dramatically

Winked at? Count to five in your head so it's not obvious who did it, then die. Gasp, slump, take your time. Once you're dead, stay quiet.
