Fringe-type scenario:
1 Master
2-8 Players
The players are walking down a normal suburban street at dusk in a middle class neighborhood. They are passed by a commuter cyclist going home from work. As the cyclist enters the intersection, the sound of squealing tires breaks the quiet. The cyclist is hit and thrown 15 feet and killed. The bike is mangled. All signs suggest that the cyclist was hit by a vehicle, melted rubber on the road, the sound of impact. The curious part is that no vehicle was present though the whole event. As the players stand dumbfounded by their witness, a police car rounds the corner. The officer approaches and the youngest player blurts out that there was no car, that the cyclist died all by himself. Although the officer might have suspected a hit and run, now the players look terribly suspicious of some kind of mob attack. They must determine what happened in 45 minutes or they will be arrested.
The Master must decide what the “answer” is ahead of time and write it down on a concealed paper. The answer is not set, and can be anything. Ideas: time travel, invisibility, mass hallucination, framing, etc.
Players ask "yes" or "no" questions in turns. Success can be either a group win or the first player to figure out the correct answer.
