Those who did the best at figuring out the day's "murder" will have a card saying "SPARED", while those doing the worst receiving a card saying "SCARRED" and will be up for elimination. During the night, the "killer" will "murder" one of the "SCARRED" players, eliminating them from the game, and setting up the "murder" for the next episode.
