What can we use instead of index cards and a ballot box if we don't have them?
If you don't have index cards or blank ballots, cut printer paper into rectangles to make role cards, fold spare paper into ballots, and use a shoebox or decorated envelope as your ballot box.
What should we do if someone accidentally shows their role or peeks at another player's ballot during the game?
To prevent revealed roles or peeking ballots, follow the instructions to shuffle and hand role cards face-down, have players fold ballots and drop them directly into a closed shoebox or bag you control, and remind everyone of the 'keep role cards secret' rule before starting the timed discussion.
How can I change the game for younger kids or make it more challenging for older players?
For younger players use picture role cards, 30–60 second timers, and no secret abilities, and for older kids add written secret abilities on role cards, keep the 1–3 minute timed discussion, and offer more elaborate costume props to encourage role play.
How can we personalize or extend the vote-out to make it more epic and memorable?
Let players design and decorate their role cards and costume props ahead of time, keep a photo or scoreboard of each 'epic vote-out' as suggested in the instructions, and award small prizes for the best fairness talk contributions.
