How to play
The TV shows a code. Everyone secretly gets five numbers in a row they can dial (say 3 to 7), and each try everyone dials one of them on their phone. The safe opens when all the dials add up to the code exactly. Talk it over: tell the others what you can dial and what you'll put in. One player per safe is secretly the saboteur. They want the safe to stay shut, and they know a secret jam code: if the total hits it, the alarm goes off and the saboteur wins at once. After a wrong try the TV shows only the total and a sensor readout: what two named players dialled together. Then everyone votes to freeze a suspect. A frozen player's dial is locked and their role is shown. Three tries per safe. Open the safe and every honest player gets 3 points. If it stays shut, the saboteur gets 5 (6 for the jam code, plus 2 if they were never frozen). Every vote you cast on the saboteur is worth 1 point. Four safes, with a different saboteur each time; the highest score wins.
