I mean in general I like the idol hints being very obvious there's something to look for and be in places people should be reading anyway. Like for pantheon we put ours in conspicuous places, changing an icon everyone would see, using the rules and just a password blocked forum work well. Since it's clear SOMETHING is different even if it isn't clear it's an idol. I think the hardest thing to balance is just making sure the same people don't just get them every time without them also not just being rng (aside from the literal random chance idol we gave out.....)

What were all the idols that were in 3 Houses, Anna's Shop, Steele Blade, Dancer and what else?

Basically there was a guess who board of suspects for a crime. Everyone had a limited number of questions they could ask about the culprit and could submit 1 guess per round of who it was. Whoever guessed right got the idol, but it could also only be played the round it was claimed
