About the game
At the beginning of the game one player is given the jack-o'-lantern. That player places it face up in front of them, next to their character. At the beginning of each subsequent round the moderator starts with the jack-o'-lantern phase. During this phase the player with this card (even if a ghost) opens their eyes and silently points to another player. The moderator answers with a thumbs-up if the player pointed to a seer or medium. or with a thumbs-down if not. The moderator then calls the end of the phase and the player closes their eyes. At the end of each day the jack-o'-lantern is passed to the player on their left.
