The bit everyone gets wrong
Do not die instantly. The five-count is what stops everybody working out who was looking at you.

The rules
4 steps.
- Pass the phone around. One player is the murderer, one is the detective, everyone else is a guest.
- Mingle and make eye contact. The murderer winks at people, one at a time.
- If you are winked at, count to five and then die as theatrically as you like.
- The detective can accuse once. Get it right and the room wins; get it wrong and the murderer walks.
What the phone does
The phone deals the roles in secret and runs the clock. It cannot see who winked at whom.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
