About the game
This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the annual Crimetime, sanctioned by the Psycho Killer. Commencing when a crimetime card is drawn, playing all weapons in your hand into other players' injury piles has been authorised during an attack. Crimetime continues until another crimetime card is drawn, at which point a brief safetime commences and weapons are played into your own injury piles. Safetime ends when another crimetime card is drawn. May god be with you all.

Questions and answers
Psycho Killer: Crime Time supports 2–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Psycho Killer: Crime Time is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Psycho Killer: Crime Time for ages 16 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Psycho Killer: Crime Time belongs to these categories: Card Game, Humor, and Movies / TV / Radio theme. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Hot Potato. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Psycho Killer: Crime Time are: Michael Wilkinson and Mitch Young. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Psycho Killer: Crime Time as an expansion for Psycho Killer. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Psycho Killer to use it. Check that your edition of Psycho Killer is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
