9. “Wink Murder” gave people an opportunity to dramatically fall to the floor.

The game “wink murder” is like having a murder mystery night, only without the costumes, characters, and elaborate clues. Party members draw paper from a bowl. One person is given the identity of the murderer, and another is the detective. The rest of the guests are just civilians. No one is allowed to reveal who they are, and just go about the party like they would normally- Talking, laughing, and drinking. But as soon as the murderer makes eye contact with someone, they are supposed to wink. The person who has been winked at must pretend to die, and collapse on the floor. They play dead for the rest of the party. The detective has to figure out who winked before they can start over again.
