Setup

How to Play
Tell the short story: "You attend your mother's funeral and meet a guy there. You instantly fall in love with him and think he's your dream man. You spend the entire evening talking and getting to know each other. Unfortunately, you don't exchange contact information and can't find each other after the event. A week later, your sister is tragically murdered”. After telling the story, ask the participants, "What do you think happened to the sister?" Give the participants time to think and share their theories on what happened to the sister. If anyone in the group answers that they killed the sister in hopes of meeting the guy again at the funeral, jokingly call them out for being a psycho, as that is what a psycho would do! Because the psycho answer is "You killed your sister in hopes that the man you met would attend your sister's funeral, giving you another chance to see and reconnect with him.”
