How to Play
- 1Secretly select one person to be the detective and have them leave the room (or virtual space).
- 2The rest of the group agrees on a rule for answering questions. For example, 'Always answer as the person to your right would'.
- 3The detective returns and can ask yes/no questions to anyone in the group.
- 4The detective's goal is to deduce the secret rule by noticing the pattern in the answers.
Facilitator Guide
Opening Script:
"One detective steps out. Weâll pick a simple answering rule. Detective returns and asks yes/no questions to uncover the pattern."
Closing Script:
"Which clues cracked itâoutliers, timing, or phrasing? Call out one habit for better pattern spotting at work."
Why This Works
It gamifies hypothesis testing and pattern recognition while keeping everyone engaged as âconspiratorsâ.
