Killer is a great party game for ages 10 and up. Don't worry--it isn't as scary as it sounds! It is actually a game of quiet concentration and being just plain sneaky. If you have a big group of friends and some paper, you are good to go.
Instructions
Play Killer
1. Make an X on one slip of paper.
2. Fold all pieces of paper so that they are the exact same size.
3. Put all of the pieces of paper in the bowl or hat.
4. Shake up the bowl or hat to mix up the papers.
5. Every player takes one slip of paper, but does not open it.
6. All players sit in a circle.
7. At the same time, all players open their pieces of paper without showing one another if it is blank or if it has the "X" mark. If the paper is blank, the player is a potential victim. If the player has drawn the paper with the "X" mark on it, he or she is the killer.
8. All players look at each other one at a time.
9. If a player is the killer, he or she winks at the potential victim when they are looking to "kill" them.
10. Once a potential victim is winked at by the killer, he or she must say, "I'm dead" and push back from the circle without indicating who the killer is.
11. If a player thinks that they know who the killer is, they announce who they think it is. If they are wrong, they are out of the game. If they are right, they win the game.
12. The game ends when the killer is guessed correctly, or when the killer and one potential victim remain. If the killer and one potential victim remains, the killer is the winner of the game.
