About Deadly Trick
Deadly Trick is an anime‑style social deduction game set in the mysterious Lastope School. It supports 5‑8 players who each choose a role that determines whether they work to finish class activities and escape, or secretly eliminate others.
The game alternates between clue‑gathering after an incident and a high‑stakes Class Trial where players must identify the hidden Shadow. A correct deduction lets the group continue, while a failed trial results in the execution of every non‑Shadow participant.
01 / THE GUIDE
Choosing White or Shadow
At the start each participant selects either the benevolent White or the covert Shadow. Whites aim to complete class activities and find an exit, while Shadows work in secret to eliminate other players.
The chosen role defines a player’s objective and influences how they interact during investigations and trials, creating a tension between cooperation and deception that drives each round.
- Balance the number of Whites and Shadows to keep deduction challenging.
- Watch early player behavior for subtle actions that may hint at a Shadow.
02 / THE GUIDE
Investigation After an Incident
When a player is eliminated an investigation begins. All remaining participants move to the crime scene to collect clues that could reveal the Shadow’s identity.
Collected clues are organized into statements, which become the primary material for discussion during the subsequent trial. Accurate note‑taking is essential for effective deduction.
- Write down each clue as soon as it is found to avoid forgetting details.
- Compare your statements with others to spot inconsistencies.

Class Trial Deduction
After investigation, the Class Trial forces players to discuss their statements and vote on who they believe the Shadow is. The group must identify the culprit before the trial ends.
If the chosen player is the Shadow, the round continues; if not, every non‑Shadow participant is immediately executed, ending the round for them.
- Encourage every player to share their statements for a complete picture.
- Focus on contradictions between statements to isolate the likely Shadow.

Setting up a game involves gathering the desired number of participants, selecting roles, and beginning the first class activity, after which the investigation‑trial loop starts.
