Witch hunt

If you play this for the first time, make 0 witches. It’s also recommended to put on witch music, to set the scene and make sure no one will eavesdrop.

  • The Taskmaster will go around and whisper whether you’re a witch or a person.
  • Your goal is to form the biggest possible group, without a witch in it – the biggest group gets 5 points, 2nd biggest 4 and so on.
  • Once the time is up, the Taskmaster will ask the witches to raise their hand. If a witch is in your group, you get 0 points, while the witch gets 5.
  • Let the witch hunt begin!
