Strategy

  • Unlike the Investigator, you can directly determine whether your target is suspicious or not, not just their possible roles. Sharing information and discussing with the Investigator will allow you to narrow the pool of suspects:
  • If you're lucky enough to find the Serial Killer or a member of the Mafia early in the game, it would be best to stay silent and keep it in your Will until about day 3. The Town will likely think you are an Executioner if you accuse someone anytime before then.
  • If you suspect a player of being the Werewolf, remember to check on a full moon. Otherwise, they will appear as a townie.
  • Careful, multiple roles have Detection Immunity, such as the Arsonist, and will appear as "not suspicious". Beware of whom you trust!
    • At any given time, there can only be one Godfather. Therefore, when a Godfather dies, anyone you investigated up until (and including) that night who came up Not Suspicious cannot be a member of the Mafia. Note that they could still be an Arsonist, Witch, or Vampire; and people you investigate after the Godfather's death could be a Mafioso who as promoted to Godfather.
  • Careful, framed players will appear to be a member of the Mafia, so never be too quick to judge who is evil or not. If you aren't sure, check the same person the next night. If the Framer does not frame the same target again, your results will change. There are some Framers that will frame the same target for a few nights in a row, so it's very hard to know if your information is true or not. Be careful.
  • Careful, if a Witch controls you, you will be forced to check a different target, without knowing who it is. Hopefully, the Witch will reveal their actions in their will, so then you can find out who you were forced to interrogate the night you were controlled.
  • Careful, if a Transporter transports your target, you will interrogate someone else entirely! If the Transporter reveals his or her will, you will know who you interrogated that night! But if you see that you were controlled or if your target says they were transported the next day, then don't trust the information that you have been given as it is most likely false. This can make the game very confusing.
  • Careful, Don't Make your role known until you have a Solid Lead. accusing the wrong person will make others think you are an Executioner, or even worse, a killing role. Do not accuse people until you have a Complete Lead. Taking one more day to lynch an evil role is better than Getting lynched after accusing the wrong person.
