Who's Missing?

Instructions

1. Send a Detective Out 🕵️‍♂️ 

Choose one person to be the Detective and have them leave the room (no peeking!).

2. Pick a Hider

While the Detective is out, quietly choose one person to hide somewhere out of sight.

3. Shuffle the Seats

Everyone else switches places to make things trickier for the Detective.

4. The Big Reveal

Call the Detective back in and challenge them to figure out… Who’s Missing?

Optional Twist: Give the Detective a limited number of guesses or a time limit to up the excitement!
