## Description
In *Petits Meurtres & Faits Divers*, you're in the middle of a murder mystery where everyone's a suspect — including you! One player takes the role of the inspector, trying to uncover the murderer through interrogations. Each (innocent) player has one minute to defend themselves using three specific words from their book. The catch? All innocents have the SAME three words, while the murderer has different ones. The challenge is to bluff your way out using the right (or wrong) words. It's a game of deception, deduction, and loads of acting — perfect for lovers of suspense and improvised storytelling. The sand timer ticks, words get twisted, and guilt slips through fingers. Can you fool everyone?
