I just created this page, but due to the fairly complex nature of the trope, it's kinda hard to come up with anything to illustrate it. Any suggestions?

Hmm I really got nothing.

What about a killer that everyone obviously knows via popculture and the clues spell it out? [1] and [2] or [3] and [4] with the caption "do you know the killer?"

Or am I off base? I really got nothing in general though lol.

Every suggestion in 3 is bad for the recommended use. We'd need to use a character with a famous calling card or specific super power that leaves a trace and has Pop-Cultural Osmosis, not some random anime that is completely non-illustrative to people who aren't fans.

Well ok, next time Winnie The Pooh kills someone it will be good to put on the page.

As is though Bupkis.

Hmm. Is there a shot of all the major MI 6 characters mentioned in the Die Another Day example? "Bond, M, Q, Moneypenny, and Remember the New Guy?. Guess who's the mole?"

I don't think there is... I might be possible to do a montage, but that would still be a spoiler, since the identity of the mole is treated as a reveal, despite how easy it is to guess.

I was trying to find something illustrative from Clue, because the killer is always among the players.

Can Clue be played with just two players? Because if there's three or more players, there's always at least two plausible suspects, which would mean it's not an example of this trope.

Standard Clue rules include all characters regardless of number of player, and it's for 3-6 players.

Doesn't sound like it fits the trope, then.
