About the game

What you do in a play session

Sessiz Tanık: Katil Kim? is a cooperative deduction game that places 2 to 8 players in a neighborhood murder investigation. In each game, only one player—the Silent Witness—knows the truth but cannot speak. Instead, they hand out clues via special cards describing facts, testimonies, or suspicions. The other players, acting as detectives, interpret these clues, discuss theories, and vote to eliminate suspects, discarding suspect cards that don’t fit the evidence. The goal is to collectively reach the culprit card before time runs out. The game runs in just 10 to 20 minutes, making it ideal for parties, family gatherings, or quick game nights. Components include a suspect deck, a clue deck, voting tokens, and a token representing the Silent Witness. The Communication Limits mechanic adds tension, as players must articulate their deductions without revealing too much. Cooperation is key: success hinges on everyone’s ability to listen, analyze, and vote strategically. For those who enjoy fast-paced investigative games that demand teamwork, Sessiz Tanık delivers a fun, engaging experience with guaranteed replayability thanks to the variety of suspects and clues.
