Questions about this template
When should guests get the link?
The same night or the next morning, after the reveal, while they still remember which clues they held. Sent before the reveal, the item on the ending has nothing to answer about.
What does a low read on 'My character gave me enough to do all night' suggest?
Often that some parts went thin once their main scene had passed. Give quieter characters a secret or a clue to reveal late in the evening, so every guest has a reason to keep talking until the end.
