How a match goes

  1. Get your secret roleMost of the house is family. One, two or three people are thieves, and only they know who they are.
  2. Do your chores around the compoundPound yam, fetch water, start the generator, wash Daddy's car. Each chore is a quick little game. Finish them all and dinner is ready.
  3. Meanwhile, the thief stealsWhen nobody is in the kitchen, the thief takes a stick of suya. They can cut the power, burst a pipe or crawl through the ceiling to stay hidden. Every theft leaves clues: oily footprints, a dropped stick, pepper on a door handle.
  4. Ring the bell and argue it outAnyone can call a family meeting. Show your evidence, accuse, defend yourself, and send voice notes.
  5. VoteThe family wins by finishing the chores or catching every thief. The thieves win by finishing the suya, or by outnumbering the family.
