Deception: Murder in Hong Kong

No — the Forensic Scientist may not convey information except through the placement of the bullet markers and by answering “yes” or “no” to a solve attempt; verbal/gestural/eye hints are forbidden (p.1, p.4).

Any non-Forensic Scientist player (including the Murderer and Accomplice) may attempt to solve the crime at any time, but each player gets only one attempt; an incorrect attempt costs your badge and you cannot try again (p.4).

You may interrupt a Presentation only to attempt to solve the crime — attempts are allowed at any time except the Forensic Scientist may not be guessed — but if you don’t attempt before the last player’s third presentation you lose your chance (p.3–4).

During the closed-eye phase the Forensic Scientist asks the Murderer (and Accomplice) to open their eyes and the Murderer points to one Clue card and one Means card as the solution, acknowledged by the Forensic Scientist’s nod, then they close their eyes again (p.2).

Each player (except the Forensic Scientist) displays their dealt Clue and Means cards face up in front of themselves with the text visible to all other players; the Forensic Scientist discards their cards and uses the Scene tiles instead (p.2).

Yes — when the solution is correctly solved the Murderer may, after conferring with the Accomplice, pick one player as ‘killed’; if that player is the Witness the Murderer and Accomplice escape and win (p.4).
