Portrait Robot

Who smashed Masher? Who finished the roll of toilet paper?

5 rounds, 5 guilty parties… You are the witnesses!

Each time you will glimpse the guilty party for a mere few seconds… before finding out which parts of his face you will have to describe. Will you manage to memorize and transmit the information to your team mate correctly and quickly enough? Curly hair? Full beard? Arrest as many criminals as possible without making a mistake to try and win the game!

The game takes place in 5 rounds.

Course of a round:

The 1st investigator picks up a Suspect card and holds it vertically in front of him without looking at it. He gives exactly 5 seconds to the other players, counting aloud, to memorize this face.

Then he immediately puts the card face down (still without looking at it) in the pile and mixes (be careful to put it in the same direction as the other cards).

The investigator randomly distributes all Criterion cards to other players in a clockwise direction. The players then look at their criteria.

The investigator takes the notepad and the pencil. As soon as he turns the hourglass over, the player with the "face shape" criterion begins his testimony: he must describe this criterion orally (no action!), according to his memories, to the investigator who makes a sketch on the notepad.

Then this player lets his left neighbor continue the description of the face with another criterion, corresponding to a card received, and so on clockwise until all the criteria distributed are described.

Be careful, you cannot comment on the testimonies of your partners or adapt to the investigator's sketch, but the investigator may ask questions during the descriptions.

When all the criteria have been described or when the investigator feels he has enough information, he reveals his sketch and looks for the culprit in the stack of Suspect cards. The other players may no longer intervene.

The investigator can then select a group of 3 cards (the team will earn 1 point if the culprit is in this group) or a card (3 points if that is correct).

Don't waste time: if the hourglass is exhausted (2min30) before the end of the testimony and arrest by the investigator, we stop immediately and the sleeve is lost.

The investigator's neighbour on the left then becomes the new investigator. He shuffles the Suspect cards face down, without the culprit from the previous round being put back in the box, and then plays as explained above.
