Gold Train Mystery

Gold Train Mystery is a fast, pass-and-play deduction game set aboard a gleaming golden express. Gather 3–8 players, pass the phone, give a single-sentence hint about a secret word, then vote in secret to expose the Thief.

How it plays:

• A case = 3 hint rounds → 1 anonymous vote.
• Passengers know the word; the Thief doesn’t and tries to blend in.
• Hints are one short sentence—no naming the word, no close synonyms, letters, numbers, or gestures.
• After Round 3, each player votes privately (you can’t vote for yourself).

Scoring:

• Thief identified (majority): each Passenger +1, Thief −1.
• Thief not identified (or tie): Thief +3, everyone else −1.
 The match continues until someone reaches the target score you choose.
• Quick setup
• Players: 3–8
• Hint timer per player: 10 / 15 / 20 s

• Randomized speaking order; private pass-and-play screens for cards and voting

Designed for living rooms, trips, and parties: easy to learn, tense to master, and playable entirely offline on a single device. No sign-ups, no accounts — just you, the word, and the mystery.
