Make Decisions: Decide whether to allow each visitor entry based on your observations and document checks. Be cautious—wrong decisions can have consequences.

Key Strategies

Memorize Resident Details: Familiarize yourself with the residents and their quirks. Knowing who is who makes it easier to spot a doppelganger.
