The games always involve murder, and tend to use easy media stereotypes to make it easy for inexperienced larpers to get into character. They use a common ruleset, involving ability cards, item cards, and paper-scissors-rock as a resolution mechanism. They also use secret cards, with various abilities allowing characters to examine one another's secrets.
