You can play a game in a big companyAssassin". Among the players you need to select an investigator. He leaves the room. The rest of the players choose the killer. When the investigator returns, the murderer begins to "kill" people, winking at them (so that the investigator does not notice this). The one to whom they winked, with a loud cry "dies." The investigator's task is to guess the killer with three attempts.
