Description
Whodunnit? A suspicious lineup of supervillains lies before you and your team, and you’re tasked with finding the true criminal.
To start the game, you’re secretly given information about two innocent suspects.
Cooperatively, associate your two characters with a one-word clue. If everyone does that correctly, you’ve found the culprit!
Be careful; your clue might erroneously point at another player’s villain.
