Overview

This role has the ability to track one person's activity each night. The Detective can be considered the opposite of the Lookout.

Strategies

  • The Detective can offer, at best, incomplete information about what their target did. Say your target went to a person that died that night. While there is a good chance they may be the person that killed them, it is not necessarily true. Try to combine this information with other things you may know, such as if an Investigator stated what roles he might be. The Detective only offers approximations, so it can be a good idea to follow up on your investigations with a Sheriff or an Investigator taking action.
  • If the setting to ignore detection immunity is off, this can actually be helpful in certain circumstances. If you know that there is no Mafioso, and that the Godfather is immune to detection, then if you follow someone to a person who has died, you can conclusively rule them out as being the Godfather.

Options

  • Ignore detection immunity - (Default = On)

Notes

  • The Detective will know who the Lookout watches.
