The Lookout has the ability to observe a player and see who "visited" them. The Lookout can be considered the opposite of the Detective.

The Lookout should target roles you think are likely to attract the Mafia, such as the Sheriff or Investigator. Even if you know the Sheriff will be healed and thus will not be a target to be killed, you can still garner valuable information, such as the identity of a Consort or Blackmailer that may be targeting them.

On Day 1, it can be difficult to decide who to target. Try to target names you think will attract attention, or people who were drawing attention to themselves on Day 1.

The Lookout can act as a roundabout Investigator/Sheriff. If only one person visited your target, and you know what happened to that target (such as being shot by a Vigilante or role blocked by an Escort), then you can safely assume that they are part of the Town.

Be wary of concluding that someone is Mafia if the "Ignore Detection Immunity" option is Off. Check to see if it's possible that a Mafioso is in the game. If you saw only one person visit another person that was killed by the Mafia, and the Godfather is in play, and he is immune to detection, then the person you saw is not the Godfather. It is unlikely that he is another Mafia role (unless the dead person was also cleaned by the Janitor), but Witches and Bus Drivers could have redirected them to the dead person. It is likely they are not Mafia, but it is not absolute, though they are not the Godfather.

Do not automatically back a Sheriff's or Investigator's results if you saw them visit a person they say is Mafia, but that person claims to have been framed. You can only rule out a Framer's presence if the "Ignore Detection Immunity" setting is On. Otherwise, it is still possible for them to have been framed despite the fact you only saw the Sheriff or Investigator visit them.

Lookouts die if they visit the Mass Murderer target.
Lookouts do not die if they visit a Veteran.
The only roles that can visit themselves without the help of a Witch are Citizens, Bus Drivers, Lookouts, Veterans, Mass Murderers, and Survivors.
