LET'S PLAY: WINK ASSASSIN

Wink assassin is a game of guessing and acting. The players must convince all the others that they are NOT the assassiN in the group. One student is the assassin and must finish off as many students as they can, before getting caught. The assassin private messages the victim ‘wink’. When a user gets this message, they must tragically play-act die, and turn off their video feed. The remaining players NEED TO vote on who they believe the assassin to be, BUT ALWAYS GIVING AN ARGUMENT OR ASKING QUESTIONS IN PAST PROGRESSIVE. THE ACCUSED STUDENT MUST DEFEND HIMSELF USING SENTENCES IN PAST PROGRESSIVE. The player with the most votes gets kicked out. The game continues until the assassin is caught.
