Blend In and Play It Cool

Your first goal as the Murderer is to act like you have nothing to hide. Walk with the crowd, chat normally, and avoid suspicious behavior. New players often rush for easy kills, but that only exposes them early.

Move around the map naturally. Watch who’s alone, who’s hiding, and who’s paying attention. Pick off isolated targets when no one’s watching. A good Murderer always strikes when they’re sure they won’t be seen.

Keep your knife hidden until the perfect moment. Many players panic when they see a knife flash. Make them feel safe — then strike fast when they least expect it. Changing up your timing each round keeps you unpredictable.

Manipulate the Innocents

The best Murderers use psychology to confuse the Innocents. Follow players at a distance so they think you’re just wandering. Circle back and pretend to investigate bodies you created — acting shocked builds trust.

If someone suspects you, flip the suspicion on them. Type in chat, accuse someone else, or play the clueless bystander. Stirring doubt among the Innocents buys you time and breaks up groups that stick together.

Pay attention to where the Sheriff is. If you spot them, avoid drawing attention until you’re ready. Eliminating the Sheriff at the right time removes the biggest threat and lets you hunt down the last Innocents freely.

Master the Final Hunt

When only a few Innocents remain, it’s your time to shine. Don’t rush and swing wildly — you’re more likely to miss and reveal your position. Use obstacles, corners, and quick turns to your advantage. Anticipate where players will run when they spot you.

Listen for footsteps and watch chat for clues about hiding spots. If someone is unusually quiet, they might be lurking in a favorite corner. Check common hiding places, but do it patiently so you’re not ambushed by the Sheriff’s final shot.

Remember, every round is practice. The more you refine your mind games, the more victories you’ll rack up — and you’ll love the thrill of outsmarting an entire lobby.

• Stay unpredictable; repeat patterns get you caught.
• Pick off loners first; large groups notice fast.
• Use corners and tight spaces to surprise players.
• Never underestimate the Sheriff — they’re your biggest threat.
