A group of people are invited to attend a get-together, usually held at an Old, Dark House often in the middle of the countryside or (more recently) on someone's private island, by a mysterious and/or eccentric host. Suddenly one of the guests (or even the host) is murdered and circumstances prevent the others from leaving, usually a heavy storm or a cut bridge, or even both.
Our heroes soon learn that one of their party is actually some manner of villain (typically The Mole, though a random escaped criminal is not unheard of), but, for various contrived reasons, that's all the information they're going to get. So it's up to them to work out which of their supposed colleagues is really The Mole before he can kill them all. And you can't trust anyone until you do. Luckily, however, there's (usually) only one mole involved.
Often results in everyone being Locked in a Room. This can be self-imposed, as our heroes can't chance The Mole reporting back to headquarters, but a character may force this upon everybody, which will usually raise everybody's tension. Circumstances will always contrive to prevent our heroes from getting in touch with the outside world to find out who The Mole is, which may range from the aforementioned storm knocking out the telephone poles, to someone cutting the telephone lines, to outright smashing all the phones to pieces. Accusations are hurled, secrets are uncovered and more murders are committed as the Dwindling Party tries to determine who is the murderer in their midst.
General outcomes of this plot:
A: One person will seem to actively hinder the investigation. He'll drop the radio, breaking it just before a description of The Mole is broadcast. He'll have a panic attack at a critical moment, endangering the group. He'll be suspiciously uninformed about whatever his job is supposed to be. This person is never The Mole. He's just an idiot. (See Hanlon's Razor.)
B: One person knows his job well, but he's a little high-strung. He accuses a lot of people of being The Mole on shaky grounds. If it doesn't turn out that he's the Mole (which is a little too obvious, and therefore rare), odds are the real Mole's going to kill him.
C: One person is very competent and helpful. He'll even have some extra skills that are handy for just the room in which they are locked. He might even find clues as to The Mole's identity. At some point, he'll save the hero's life. He's The Mole, and he's really very good at it.
D: The idiotic Red Herring Mole turns out to be a spy for the good guys. He's been keeping it a secret since, like everyone else, he's not entirely sure that the mole isn't one of the heroes. His apparent incompetence is really Obfuscating Stupidity, and he's trying to goad the real Mole into tipping his hand.
E: There's a second mole — perhaps even one that the first mole doesn't know about.
F: None of them are The Mole: the initial message was a fabrication by the bad guys to make the heroes turn on each other.
G: None of them are The Mole: the hero has been hypnotized to act as a Mole without even his own knowledge, or is simply an Unreliable Narrator.
H: The Mole successfully frames someone else.
I: No one is The Mole: for whatever reason, everyone's paranoia has spiraled completely out of control, causing them to attack each other on otherwise flimsy pretexts or misinterpreted accidents. Or the host, with the help of their staff and/or associates, faked it all to "entertain" their guest.
J: Someone dies early, but they Never Found the Body, or it was mutilated too badly to be positively identified: they are probably the Mole.
K: No one is The Mole; the plot fits the Dwindling Party twist, wherein the villain is someone else who simply kills most of the main characters, one by one and usually in an extremely brutal and sometimes grotesque manner. Perhaps the villain is a demented, deeply troubled individual, or is a stalker who enjoys killing; maybe he is a crime lord who fears being caught (and his method(s) of murder and carrying the killings out is used to put fear in others and/or intimidate the authorities)... or he is simply the face of evil (who also hopes to intimidate the heroes and scare off the authorities). Once the original gang is whittled down to just two or (at most) three, the villain is finally defeated; either the bad guy is killed, usually by falling into one of his own traps or another character — often but not always one thought to be dead — arriving to defeat him, the remaining protagonists are able to beat down the villain and subdue him until the authorities arrive to arrest him; or (most commonly on TV crime/action shows) the title character arriving Just in Time before the villain kills the last remaining members of the group.
In a well-done example, the audience will work out who The Mole is only seconds before the heroes do, though they'll typically be led to an incorrect guess from early on.
Non-recurring characters are subject to being killed off one-by-one by The Mole. Of course, strictly speaking, no one is above suspicion, even our heroes, and at least one member of the group will panic, accuse the heroes, and run off to a certain demise. The audience (usually) knows better.
Named after the 1939 Agatha Christie novel And Then There Were None which was originally titled Ten Little Niggers and then renamed Ten Little Indians before arriving at its current name.
Often the modus operandi in a Reunion Revenge. Occasionally a Final Girl or other survivor(s) may be spared, but if the writers are really bloodthirsty, it only ends when they all die (or, if you're at the beginning of the series, Everybody's Dead, Dave); if they're feeling devious, they may also throw in a few instances of Suspect Existence Failure. Newer installments may have this combined with/be the byproduct of a Deadly Game Or a Hunting the Most Dangerous Game Scenario. The actual game version of this setup, where it's one or some killers against everyone else, is Social Deduction Game. Don't be surprised if a Mexican Standoff or two pop up, especially for the finale.
This trope goes together with A House Divided like peanut butter and jelly.

Sapphire and Steel parodies this in "Assignment Five". The apparent murders are actually a malevolent temporal force disposing of all the people who weren't alive at the time of events that are intended to suffer a Make Wrong What Once Went Right.

Used to some extent in Dune, with a letter throwing transparently false suspicion on Jessica. No one in House Atreides suspects Yueh of being The Mole at all, though he's already been identified as such in the narrative (it's presented as a mind-blowing revelation in-universe due to his loyalty conditioning).

The second season of Who Wants to Be a Superhero? included such a challenge. Given that there were two actors planted amidst the first season contestants (both The Mole and a scheduled Face–Heel Turn), this was a believable threat for the heroes and the audience. But it turned out to be a false one; all the contestants were for real this time, and Stan just wanted to see if they'd go into witch-hunt mode.

Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair involves a series of murders at a Halloween party at a mountain resort. While the first death seems like a suicide, the second death is definitely a murder, so the group has to find out who the killer is. In a twist, the killer is none other than the supposed first victim, who'd pretended to commit suicide, killed the second victim, left a third to die, then hanged herself while the rest of the group was distracted trying to save the third victim.

In a chapter of Franken Fran, Fran is invited by former patients for a party in a remote location. Soon, they are attacked one by one—hopefully, Fran can save them. This being Franken Fran, the truth is far more disturbing than expected. The victims are doing it to themselves because they get off on Fran operating on them. Even Fran finds this disturbing.

The plot of Ten Little Roosters, where ten members of Rooster Teeth are locked in their studios for the night with one of them being the killer. Interestingly, a lot of the plot points used in connection with this trope are defied. The idiots (Gavin and Chris) are killed off early, The Hero doesn't exist (Miles attempts to be The Hero, but it doesn't pan out) and everyone would rather just go and hide somewhere and wait for the cleaning lady to come and unlock the door in the morning so they can all leave.

This is the premise of the amateur adventure video game 5 Days a Stranger (part one in the Chzo Mythos/John De Foe Quadrology series by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw): 5 people from different walks of life are lured into a house, one by one, and become trapped. Pretty soon they start dying. Each and every one of the five is a suspect, including the protagonist.
It turns out the culprit is a ghost, and has been possessing multiple different people—including the protagonist.
The other games in the series can be said to follow the same trope, especially the second (7 Days a Skeptic), set on a spaceship with no means of escape.

A major plot thread in the second Mistborn book-it appears for much of the book that one of the main characters has been replaced by a kandra, a creature that can consume a corpse then animate it and imitate the person in question almost perfectly. Despite assistance from her own kandra, it takes Vin most of the book to figure out who it was. That's because it is her own kandra.

Side:Future of Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School features a Deadly Game as a major part of its plot. 16 people are locked inside a building and are injected with a potent sleeping drug every two hours. While everyone is asleep, The Mole gets to wake up early and kill whoever they want. If a "sleeping phase" passes without the mole killing anyone, then the game ends and everyone who's still alive can leave. It turns out that the mole is nobody! After everyone is put to sleep, whoever happens to be closest to one of the monitors on the walls is woken up and shown a video that brainwashes them into committing suicide.

Bonanza: The 13th-season episode "The Rattlesnake Brigade", where the feared Dalton gang—on their way to prison—escapes and kidnaps Jamie and three of his buddies (a beautiful blonde and two other guys), and they plan to kill each of them, one by one, until the Cartwrights pay them a huge ransom and allow them free and undeterred access to Mexico. Indeed, one of the teens is shot and killed (during a botched escape attempt), but the Cartwrights arrive in time to stop the bad guys before any of the others are killed.

Bleak Expectations: The series 5 opener has Pip Bin invited to Clampvulture Mansion, where all the guests start dropping like flies. It's pretty obvious from the out who the murderer is, the Maharajah Disguisely Hidey-Something (who is blatantly Anthony Head doing an insanely fake Indian accent), but Pip Bin is too stupid to work it out until everyone but his family and the "Maharajah" is dead.

Ten Little Wizards, a Lord Darcy novel, is an homage to Christie's version. A subversion, in that the killer's countdown doesn't make it to "none", and the apparent killing spree is an Evil Plan by Polish spies.

Haven has a nice twist on this. Some residents of Haven decide to throw Audrey a birthday party since she's never had one. They decide to throw it on this nice old hotel out in the ocean on a small island with no cellphone reception. Well, long story short, the owner of the hotel had subtly dropped the suggestion that they should throw the party there. Turns out, the owner of the mansion is a chameleon-thing that kills people then turns into them, and he needs more people to change into. So one of the characters are no longer that character. Doesn't help that most of the people there are minor or new characters. Oh, and the ferry isn't coming back to get them until the end of the weekend, but there is a small boat that they ride away on.
Nathan's dad shoots a hole in the boat, stating that if the chameleon gets back to the mainland, he'll escape and vanish forever, living out his days killing more and more people. Oh, he's not the chameleon.
Since it's a birthday party, they decide to have everyone tell them what's in their gift, something chameleon wouldn't know. Here comes Nathan's turn. He says a blue sweater. Surprise: his present is actually a blue scarf. He had someone else buy the gift and comes to the conclusion that they must've thought that the scarf would've been a better gift than the sweater.
And the chameleon is... Audrey. Yes, the main character is the chameleon. When the chameleon transformed into her, he took her form, but she didn't die, so she had to lock her in a chest hidden away in the mansion. Nathan had recently discovered that he could feel Audrey when he can't feel anything else. He figured out who the chameleon was he couldn't feel "Audrey". To confirm, he kissed Audrey, still felt nothing, pushed her back, and calmly shoots her in the chest, killing the chameleon.

A variation happens in Murder on the Leviathan, which was intended as a tribute to Agatha Christie; what makes it unusual is that this situation came about when a detective looking for a murderer on a luxury liner had his chief suspects assigned rooms in the same salon. And then one of them was killed.

The Decagon House Murders: The narration acknowledges Christie's influence. Seven members of a university mystery literature club visit an island where a gruesome massacre took place sometime before and start being killed off themselves. Two of the club's other members, not aware of the danger their friends are in, investigate the prior murder on the mainland. It turns out that one of the club members is moving back and forth between the island and the mainland to give himself an alibi, and has let everyone else think only six people went to the island.

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies:
"The Case of the Stuttering Pig", starring Porky Pig. On a dark and stormy night in a large, spooky mansion, Porky's rich uncle has announced his will through his attorney, Goodwill, that he, Petunia, and his four brothers (Patrick, Percy, Portis, Peter) will inherit the fortune...but if they're all dead when the uncle dies, Goodwill gets the money. After Porky, Petunia, and his siblings leave, Goodwill reveals to the audience his true self as a money-hungry fiend who intends to kill all six pigs and inherit the money; he drinks Hyde formula and transforms himself into a monster. Later on, Goodwill kidnaps Porky's brothers one by one and then Petunia as they're walking through the mansion. Eventually, Porky finds Petunia and his siblings tied up in stocks in Goodwill's laboratory, and the main protagonist frees them...only for the fiend to break in and eventually corner everyone and attempt to kill them. Before that happens, a chair suddenly is thrown out of nowhere and knocks Goodwill silly, allowing the pig sextet to get the upper hand and subdue the monster in the stocks where Goodwill had restrained them earlier. Just before the iris-out—and presumably just before the police arrive to take Goodwill into custody for fraud and conspiracy to commit murder—the pigs wonder where the sudden assist came from. An off-camera voice shouts out "ME!" When the shocked monster asks for an explanation, the voice replies, "I'm the guy in the third row, ya big sourpuss!!!" The ultimate hero, it turns out, was one that Goodwill (shortly after turning into his monster alter-ego and revealing his diabolical plan) had specifically tried to intimidate earlier.

House of Wax (2005): The 2005 version features six college-age students traveling to the big game, when they stop in a rural Louisiana town to camp for the night. One by one, each of the six are targeted by a pair of brothers running the town's museum...and four of them are killed in the most violent of manners. (The two survivors later discover that most of the town's inhabitants have been killed by the brothers through the years, and have to escape the town before they're next.)

"Who Done It?" by Harry Nilsson. It starts out as a straightforward version of this trope, with 13 characters in a house who start dying, but eventually the narrator ends up alone and gets arrested and sentenced to death despite proclaiming his innocence. It's up to the listener to decide if this is outcome G or H, since two of the characters disappear from the song without explanation: the butler and his wife.

In Calm Time, the main character invites some people to a party on his house in the countryside, a place far from civilization with not even cellphone coverage. It is possible that the protagonist chose this place to make it easier to trap people in there and murder them.

Played with in an episode of Highlander, where Hugh Fitzcairn is killed and any one of his half-a-dozen or so houseguests could have done it. However, as he is immortal, he revives and spends the rest of the episode annoying MacLeod, who is trying to find the murderer without giving away the fact that he's still alive.

Parodied/subverted in a Doctor Who Magazine comic strip, in which a group of minor villains that the Doctor has previously defeated gather together in a deserted space-station to plan a final attack that will finish him once and for all. One of them dies horribly, and as the others begin dying one by one afterward, it seems (to them, anyway) as if the Doctor has infiltrated their midst in disguise and is picking them off one by one. Finally, the last couple—paranoid that either one of them could be the Doctor in disguise—kill each other...and at that point, the Doctor arrives, not recognizing any of them. Turns out the first death was just an accident with a faulty machine and the other deaths were just everyone picking each other off out of sheer paranoia.
Played straight in an earlier Eighth Doctor strip.

Forest Kingdom: Used a few times in the Hawk & Fisher spinoff series.
In the very first book, when Councillor William Blackstone is found dead. the title characters order the house sealed, with everyone stuck inside. The other guests start dropping dead soon after. In an unusual twist suited for the cynical setting of the series, no subsequent death is related to the first murder. The very act of sealing the house in order to catch the original murderer forced select guests into a situation where they could eventually become dangerous to those around them, exacerbated by the further actions of the investigators, while threatening their reputation and ultimately lives should they simply reveal this and the (mostly noncriminal) reasons for it. While the murderer does get caught and justice served, the city is probably ultimately worse off for it.
In Wolf in the Fold, when Hawk and Fisher go undercover in a tower belonging to a noble family, they once again get sealed in for a day, with a mysterious murderer on the loose.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has fun with this trope. During the 'Whodunit?' quest, this sort of plot is set up where 6 people, including the Player Character, are all invited to a mansion, told it's a competition for treasure, and that they will be locked in until somebody finds it. Then people start dying. The amusing part? It's a mission for the Dark Brotherhood, AKA the Assassins guild; YOU are the murderer, hired by the mansion's owner to help him get revenge on the other 5 "guests". To further incentivize you to play along, you get a bonus if you kill them all without anyone discovering who you are (save for the last victim, of course); offering numerous ways to for a player to indulge in their inner Manipulative Bastard. For extra giggles you also have the key to the mansion.

In the Metalocalypse fanfic Deth by Murder, Nathan desires to have a murder mystery dinner, and Offdensen takes the opportunity to 'clean house', as it were, by eliminating people that were threats to Dethklok, such as Damien Cornickelson (who had tried to force Dethklok into a byzantine contract that only benefitted him), Pickles's brother Seth (a constant thorn in Pickles's side since Pickles was The Unfavorite of his family, and also embezzled from Dethklok), and Dr. Twinkletits (fradulent psychology degree and disrespected Dethklok). Notably, both Dr. Rockso and Dick Knubbler were Genre Savvy enough to realize this would happen, with Rockso fighting the Klokateers on going, and Knubbler preparing a dossier explaining why he should be spared. Offdensen had no intention of killing Knubbler, and had invited him to keep Murderface company when Murderface inevitably had a hissy fit. As for Rockso, he accuses Offdensen of the murders, and Nathan, not wanting him to go to jail, accuses Rockso instead of the murders. Luckily, Nathan found plausible enough motives to pin it on Rockso and a Klokateer planted evidence on him that 'proved' it, and Rockso is dragged away to be arrested. Skwisgaar still thinks The Butler Did It, though.

The entire premise of the board game Clue, as well as The Movie based on it. The film involved a group of guests with questionable pasts being locked inside a mansion trying to figure out who killed Mr. Boddy. Every single one of them had a motive to kill him, and things aren't helped when the rest of the mansion's staff begins falling like flies...
The board game didn't initially include the element of the suspects being killed, but later releases did, adding a deck of cards that included eight clock cards: once the first seven had been drawn (and taken out of the deck), whoever drew the eighth card was killed by the murderer (presumably if the killed character is actually the murderer, they just faked their deaths instead) and the card was then returned to the deck.

The Twilight Zone (1959): "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street". A street in a small town loses all power and use of their cars. Spurred on by a young boy's claims that this is a common comic book plot, they quickly suspect each other of being aliens. As riots break out, the audience learns that, no, none of the folks on Maple Street are aliens. The whole thing was set up by alien puppetmasters outside of town to trigger the riot, who comment on how easy conquering Earth this way is. Replace "aliens" with "terrorists" and "alien puppetmasters" with "US Army researchers", and you get the version used in the 2002 remake.

Identity is a variation of this. 10 strangers meet in a remote hotel, where they start getting killed one by one by a killer, who is presumably one of them. At first the trope seems to be played straight, as the helpful authority figure cop is revealed to really be a criminal and a killer. However, at the end, it's revealed that the killer who was actually killing the guests was the little boy. This makes sense because the characters are all personalities inside the mind of a serial killer with multiple personality disorder; the little boy is the murderous personality, representing the abuse the killer experienced as a child.

Dead Man's Gun: "Next of Kin" is a downplayed example as a dying mining magnate invites all of his potential heirs to his mansion for the weekend to allow him to observe them and decide who deserves to inherit his fortune. Anyone who leaves before the three days are up is automatically cut out of his will. Over the weekend, potential heirs begin dying: all shot with the Dead Man's Gun. Downplayed because only two people actually die, although several others leave the house voluntarily.

One arc of the manga Black Butler follows this trope's description to the letter, complete with large, dark mansion, gathering of wealthy guests, and the raging storm that means no one gets to go home. (And Ciel is most definitely fitting enough for the role of "mysterious host".) It turns out to be some bizarre, mind-boggling combination of E and I and involving one of the "victims" faking his own death. In an extra subversion, the "true" murderer is suspected by the investigators even before the murder happens (albeit uncommunicated to the reader), is not present, and merely could not be accused or interfered with - and a primary motive for the murder is an attempt to invoke this trope to subsequently involve the host in a public societal scandal.

The bank robbery in The Dark Knight might be considered a high-speed variant of this, as one robber after another kills an accomplice, then is killed in turn. Unique in that it takes place at the scene of another crime in progress, and the guy who figures out what's going on ("Let me guess: you're supposed to kill me?") is immediately killed.

Stargate SG-1:
The show features such an episode, only instead of a building, they are all stuck on the Alpha Site planet and unable to leave until the murderer is found. Tensions mount between the three races present, with the leaders under a lot of pressure to keep it from turning into a shootout. Accusations are flung around and the humans are stuck in the middle. The murderer turns out to be an invisible Ashrak, but the relationship between Earth and its two allies never quite recovers.
The episode "Proving Ground". Given that the SGC's primary foes are Body Snatchers, they select new members through complex training exercises where Everyone Is a Suspect Mole. These exercises tend to be Total Party Kills. One particularly promising group that refuses to get their act together finds that their umpteenth test is Not a Game. It was a game with one of their own being The Mole whose job was to up the ante. When they knew it was all a game, they slacked off. When they thought it wasn't, they ended up distinguishing themselves under fire and becoming a quality team.
In another episode, they knew who The Mole was, but it had an annoying tendency to Body Surf. That meant no one could be trusted — just because you weren't The Mole two minutes ago doesn't mean you're not The Mole now — and required some extreme measures to resolve.

Gideon the Ninth is a gothic space version of this story type, where scions of 8 necromancer houses are summoned to the dead home planet of their emperor, bringing a single bodyguard each. The mansion in this case is both an island and a one fabulously elegant but now decaying haunted mansion, with the characters guessing at what/who is doing the haunting.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has an interesting example: the presence of a mole is not revealed until the fifteen students have been whittled down to seven, and the mastermind Monokuma immediately reveals the mole's identity in the hope that someone will murder them. However, Sakura was by no means a willing spy, and even kills herself to avoid being forced to off another. There was also a second mole who was betrayed by the mastermind and murdered in the first chapter. The trope really comes into play when Monokuma reveals that he is one of the sixteen students, controlling a robot proxy- everyone immediately begins suspecting each other, despite the mastermind actually not being among the group.

Fantastic Voyage establishes that at least one of the crew of the Proteus may be a Soviet agent sent to finish the assassination attempt on the scientist the mission is meant to cure. Violating the first rule of mole detection above, the character played by a sweaty, nervous Donald Pleasence who tries to open the hatch of a submerged submarine as soon as they're shrunk is the traitor (Or just a claustrophobic man in a cramped sub who went off the deep end trying to get out--the movie never says for sure.)

In the Haruhi Suzumiya story "Remote Island Syndrome", the SOS Brigade goes on a club field trip to an island mansion specifically set up to stage a murder mystery like this, in order to stop Haruhi from generating one herself (though it's left ambiguous at the end whether or not she's already created an external killer).

Murder by Death is the Affectionate Parody of the genre; here, the guests are thinly-disguised versions of famous fictional detectives. The trope is subverted when it turns out the villain isn't really interested in killing them off, but in embarrassing them instead.

Alien³, which has been described as "And Then There Were None in outer space" by Entertainment Weekly, had the entire population of Fiorina 'Fury' 161, save for one prisoner (Morse), killed off by the Xenomorph that had infiltrated the prison. This includes Ellen Ripley herself, who died as a combined result of the chestbursting chewing its way out of her, and a suicide dive into the prison's metalworks.

Inside No. 9: "Private View" is based on this premise and takes place in an art gallery, where all of the characters are told they have been hand-picked for the exclusive first viewing. Two of the characters lampshade the trope by discussing how the events of the episode are similar to an Agatha Christie novel, and to Big Brother. The murderer turns out to be the mother of the dead artist, and the artist did not plan or know about the murders; her motive is that she feels each of the characters, who were donated an organ by the artist, were ungrateful. The final twist is that the last character left alive manages to kill the mother and takes credit for the art exhibition.

In the Star Trek novel Kobiyashi Maru this was a training scenario for Starfleet cadets. Several dozen cadets were dropped on an abandoned moonbase and told that one of them was The Mole. Their teachers then sat back and watched what the cadets did. Typical behavior was to band together into small groups and end up fighting against other groups because one of them could be The Mole. Chekhov's solution was to simply kill EVERYONE (at the end of the training, all his victims assumed he was the Mole. He thought he was the winner. The teachers explained he was simply a very skilled assassin (and a bit of an idiot)). Turns out there was no Mole, the scenario was designed to emphasize the dangers of distrust and paranoia. He was then told that his hero, a young captain named Kirk, had come up with a working solution; he invited all groups to join his, but the condition for joining was that everyone would be disarmed. The exception were two guards selected by Kirk; if one of them happened to be The Mole, the other could just shoot the guy.

Something like this plays out in Kitty's House of Horrors. It's all a subversion. The panicky, incompetent, suspiciously underinformed person isn't the mole, but survives anyway. The competent but high-strung person who constantly accuses someone else of being the mole isn't the mole, and also survives. The helpful, amiable person with lots of useful abilities isn't the mole either. No one is. However, almost everyone besides those three and the narrator dies. Everyone in the house was an intended victim.

In Maurice Leblanc's first published Arsène Lupin short story, L'arrestation d'Arsène Lupin, the passengers of a transatlantic liner learn by telegram that the famed Gentleman Thief is travelling in first class under an assumed name. All they know is he is blond and his fake name begins with R. The story deals with the idle young nobility on board trying to unmask him from those clues while various precious objects are stolen around them; until the ship arrives and Lupin is revealed as the narrator, who was not blond and whose name did not begin with R, but who planted false clues to mislead the police.

The story of the tail section survivors on Lost: Nathan is the Red Herring Mole. Goodwin is The Mole. Then there's Cindy and Libby, and we still don't know what was up with either of them. Prevailing fan speculation is that Libby was The Mole, too, but for a different organization.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair goes a step further by having the mastermind reveal from the start that one of the sixteen students is a "traitor". However, this "traitor" is not a murderer but an observer sent to help the students. Furthermore, the knowledge of this "traitor's" presence does not drive anyone to murder out of paranoia: the victim of Chapter 5 does take lengths to flush out the traitor, but it is decidedly not "murder out of paranoia". In fact, his goal is actually to kill everyone but the traitor.

On WMAC Masters during a Dragon Star match between Hakim "The Machine" Alston and Ho Sung "Superstar" Pak someone wearing a ghost town ninja outfit eliminated both of them and the other masters figured out early on that one of them had to be the masked ninja. They suspected the maters who had not been seen that episode like Mike "Turbo" Bernardo and Ho Young "Star Warrior" Pak as the culprit and eventually put Star Warrior (who is the older brother of Superstar) on trial for it with Tiger Claw and Olympus acting as lawyers and Turbo as Judge. He was found not guilty after the glove Tracer claimed the mask ninja dropped did not fit (so they must acquit). It turns out the masked ninja was Warlock, who had secretly joined the evil cult called Jukido and was trying to steal the Dragon Star.

Deadly Snowstorm, the first chapter of Murder in the Alps, has in the Swiss Alps a secluded hotel with the hotel manager and ten guests. A snowstorm cuts them off from the rest of the world for a couple of days as the guests start dying one by one under mysterious circumstances. By the time the road is cleared out of snow and the telephone lines start working again, five of the guests are dead as the culprit — a Nazi agent tasked with kidnapping one of the other guests and committing the murders to cover up for herself — is exposed by the protagonist right before the police arrives to arrest her.

In Jack, the titular grim reaper takes the souls of 5 people killed in an explosion, and leaves it to them to find out who planted the bomb. Given the way the story was resolved it seemed likely that Jack was doing it in order to give some of them (particularly an individual in the group who had already suffered loss as Jack took someone he loved in a previous arc) a chance at last-minute redemption and closure that if he just took them as is more would have gone to hell than actually did. Character development by that point had him doing what he could to help souls escape damnation and since he had already had 'monitors' following him around decided to put them to a positive use with their ability to create temporary zones like was done in that story.

Whodunnit? (2013) also did this as a reality tv game show, although it’s played much more straight here. The contestants were all ostensibly invited to the Reality TV Show Mansion by Giles, the show's host, under the killer's anonymous orders as their employee. Giles receives and passes on instructions from The Mole, who "kills" each episode's worst-performing player in some convoluted way, thus presenting a mystery for the contestants to figure out in the next airing.

Mindhunters was another film with this premise, about several FBI students being trained as criminal profilers at a remote training facility. One of them is actually a serial killer killing the other characters off one by one. The killer turns out to be the heroic, helpful, supportive Alpha Male of the group.

Another plays with this trope: every year, a cursed 9th Grade class claims the lives of students and family members due to the presence of Dead All Along anomaly, who's disguised as a normal member of the school and must be killed to end the tragedy. But no one's aware who that is, not even the entity itself, as its very existence rewrote memories and setting to better blend it. Paranoia Fuel and well-meaning students and staff don't mix well, to say the least.

Until Dawn subverts this. The first portion of the game has eight young friends gathering in a ski lodge to hang out, on invitation by one member of the group, where they soon find out that they're being stalked and menaced by a Slasher Movie-style serial killer who kills at least one of them. It then turns out that the one who is murdered, who was also the one who invited the rest, actually is the killer, and did invite his friends up as targets... of a particularly intense prank; he's not a killer at all (though he's still obviously unhinged and the prank could have easily gotten someone killed had something gone wrong). While the kids do turn out to be in real danger, its source isn't targeting them specifically; rather it's taking advantage of their being there.

The film adaptation of Clue was essentially a gigantic parody of this trope.
The last one of the three alternative endings subverted the trope by revealing that everyone except The Mole was a murderer.
And The Mole was an FBI agent who kills the man who set the whole thing up at the end.

D-Tox was a film with this premise, starring Sylvester Stallone. Stallone was one of 9 cops being treated for psychological problems at a remote ranch in snowy Wyoming. However, one of the other patients was actually a serial killer who targets cops, having killed the real patient and assumed his identity. The real killer turned out to be the character who was most apparently helpful and mature (as opposed to the cowardly guy or the violent alcoholic).

Escape the Night had this in its premise, especially in its first season. Surprisingly, it's a surreal version of F and K, as although the first episode tells the contestants that it's the Ancient Evil in the Mansion responsible, in Episode 2, they find a note stating, "One among you is in league with the evil." Who is it among the main cast? None of them, but Arthur, the NPC Head of Staff. This leads to a lot of the early deaths being out of paranoia due to the Voted Off the Island mechanic, such as Justine and GloZell.

Referenced by title, and played with, in the Leverage episode "The 10 Li'l Grifters Job". The mark invites all his favorite enemies to a murder mystery dinner party. Right after announcing that someone is about to die, the lights go off, and someone actually kills him. Nathan, realizing that he would be the prime suspect, has to figure out who actually committed the murder...while simultaneously trying to convince the rest of the guests that it's actually all part of the event.

Young Justice (2010) has a rather unique take on this. Once the core Six of Season One's cast is established, one of the villains hints to the team lead (Aqualad) that there is a mole on the team. It's quickly narrowed down to the three newest members (Superboy, Miss Martian, and Artemis) and the audience has suspicions for all three and each are given episodes that further hint to their culpability (Superboy was programmed by Cadmus which was tied to the supervillain group The Light from the get-go and was later given an improvement by Luthor, Miss Martian had some moments where she shied away from being open with something about her life on mars with the team, and its later revealed that she is a white Martian and The Light has known this for some time, and Artemis is claimed to be Green Arrow's niece but doesn't live remotely near him to be a sidekick and was seen as Speedy/Red Arrow's replacement, and later revealed to be the daughter to the Light's chief enforcer and the handler for the mole). Subverted when they all three realize that the Light is calling them to set up an ambush and reveal to the team that they had been compromised, allowing the team to set up the Light members. Double Subverted when The real mole turned out to be Red Arrow/Speedy, who was a Cadmus clone and programmed to be a Manchurian Candidate who was trying to get into the Justice League, not the team and was giving away the team info that his pals on the team had been telling him with the hope of trying to convince him to join.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair goes a step further by having the mastermind reveal from the start that one of the sixteen students is a "traitor". However, this "traitor" is not a murderer but an observer sent to help the students. Furthermore, the knowledge of this "traitor's" presence does not drive anyone to murder out of paranoia: the victim of Chapter 5 does take lengths to flush out the traitor, but it is decidedly not "murder out of paranoia". In fact, his goal is actually to kill everyone but the traitor.

Doctor Who:
"The Curse of Peladon" has various delegates from alien civilisations who have come to the castle of Peladon in a storm. The Ice Warrior delegate nearly dies in an accident, and the delegate from Arcturus is found dying with a vital part of his life support missing. Everyone gets increasingly paranoid and existing racial tensions flare up.
"The Robots of Death". The twist being the killer is obvious hence the titles, likewise the mastermind behind reprogramming them is revealed early on. The mystery is trying to figure out which of the crew, is them in disguise.
"The End of the World" has a group of aliens from across the galaxy gather on a space station to witness the death of Earth, but somebody starts to kill those on board.
"The Unicorn and the Wasp" has this setup as a given, considering that the famous historical figure of the episode is Agatha Christie herself.

The Mole implemented this concept as a Reality-based Game Show. Thought the show the contestants are faced with several challenges which, if completed successfully, earn money that goes to a global pot. However, as the name indicates, one of the contestants is a Mole hired by the producers to make sure they win as little money as possible. Contestants are eliminated via a quiz at the end of each episode that asks several bits of biographical information about the Mole: the person who gets the least amount of questions right is eliminated.

Land of the Giants:
In "Then There Were Seven", Inspector Kobick returns, and this time he captures Barry's dog, Chipper. The next day the humans learn that Chipper is being exhibited at a local zoo as "The World's Smallest Dog". Barry runs off to save his dog and falls into Inspector Kobick's trap along with Fitzhugh and Valerie. Steve comes up with a plan to slip an animal tranquilizer to the guard, but the attempt is thwarted when Kobick is tipped off by Grotius, a dishonest handyman who is trying to extort a reward for the capture of the Earthlings.
In "The Unsuspected", Steve is exposed to spores from a poisonous mushroom and he becomes violently paranoid. Thinking the others are trying to turn him over to the SID, he lures them away one by one from the ship and ties them up inside a vent.

Another alien-invasion movie example: The Faculty; the humans who have not (yet) been taken over by alien parasites regard each other with suspicion and must figure out who in their number has fallen under alien control...but more than that, they must determine which person has actually been an alien all along. Not really surprisingly, the one who is an alien rather than an alien-controlled human is the "new girl", who has been giving the other students a Back Story they've had to take on faith, rather than having a known history in their community.

Before the Liam Neeson flick of the same title, a film called Unknown combined this with Easy Amnesia and Paranoia Fuel. Several men, some of them kidnappers and others, their kidnappers, wake up with no memories and find themselves locked in a warehouse, having all been overcome by an accidentally-released toxic gas. A brief phone call from the kidnappers' accomplices reveals that more thugs will arrive soon, and presumably kill the ones who aren't on their side, but none of the trapped men know if they're the culprits or the victims...

"The Case of the Stuttering Pig", starring Porky Pig. On a dark and stormy night in a large, spooky mansion, Porky's rich uncle has announced his will through his attorney, Goodwill, that he, Petunia, and his four brothers (Patrick, Percy, Portis, Peter) will inherit the fortune...but if they're all dead when the uncle dies, Goodwill gets the money. After Porky, Petunia, and his siblings leave, Goodwill reveals to the audience his true self as a money-hungry fiend who intends to kill all six pigs and inherit the money; he drinks Hyde formula and transforms himself into a monster. Later on, Goodwill kidnaps Porky's brothers one by one and then Petunia as they're walking through the mansion. Eventually, Porky finds Petunia and his siblings tied up in stocks in Goodwill's laboratory, and the main protagonist frees them...only for the fiend to break in and eventually corner everyone and attempt to kill them. Before that happens, a chair suddenly is thrown out of nowhere and knocks Goodwill silly, allowing the pig sextet to get the upper hand and subdue the monster in the stocks where Goodwill had restrained them earlier. Just before the iris-out—and presumably just before the police arrive to take Goodwill into custody for fraud and conspiracy to commit murder—the pigs wonder where the sudden assist came from. An off-camera voice shouts out "ME!" When the shocked monster asks for an explanation, the voice replies, "I'm the guy in the third row, ya big sourpuss!!!" The ultimate hero, it turns out, was one that Goodwill (shortly after turning into his monster alter-ego and revealing his diabolical plan) had specifically tried to intimidate earlier.

Mega Man Battle Network 2 has a portion spent like this. A group of Official Netbattlers, including the hero, Lan, and the rival, Chaud, are gathered in a castle for a meeting. It eventually turns out that not only was there a spy in their midst, the spy is the innocent-seeming Princess Pride, who faked being attacked early on. You learn this after both Lan and Chaud have already been left the only two suspects, and have fought to the Disney Death out of paranoia.

Family Guy took on this one in "And Then There Were Fewer". It was Diane Simmons in the dining room, the living room, the upstairs hallway, and an upstairs balcony with, respectively, the gun, the knife, and the Golden Globe.

This is the premise of the Laura Bow PC adventure game The Colonel's Bequest and its sequel The Dagger of Amon Ra. The first game takes place on an old plantation in 1920s New Orleans where the protagonist Laura Bow's friend has invited her to stay with her family, who have gathered to hear the old Colonel's will. When it's revealed that the Colonel's will is that his fortune be split equally among his loved ones who outlive him, people quickly start dying, and you are forced to collect clues to try and figure out who killed who, and why. The second game takes place in a museum following a robbery, and one by one everyone inside starts getting bumped off. In both games, it is up to the player to figure out just what is going on, and if you get it wrong (or in the second game, don't have the evidence to prove that you're right) you will get the bad ending and let the murderer escape, perhaps at the cost of your own life.

A variation happens in A Dance with Dragons, the fifth installment of A Song of Ice and Fire. Roose Bolton and his allies, who are camped out in Winterfell, waiting for an enemy army to march to them, start suffering a string of murders in their ranks. Considering many in their own number hate each other's guts, there's at least one enemy agent undercover in the castle, and some of them have very good reasons to hate their liege lord, there's suspects galore.
Oddly, while it's established mid-way through book five that most of the murders were committed by Mance Rayder and his spear-wives, they deny killing one victim in particular (Little Walder Frey), meaning that there are at least two sets of independent murderers in Winterfell.
Heck, the Freys are also busy being hamstrung by the fact that they're quietly being incrementally murdered outside Winterfell, too — despite having taken hostages as a precaution to try preventing this outcome. That's right, folks: most of the Riverlands is quietly aiding and abetting anybody who kills Freys, however they kill those Freys and with whatever excuse they can think of using to do it, particularly if they happen to be attached to the Brotherhood Without Banners, so... Plausible Deniability. The region isn't exactly being very picky, since the family has annoyed it that much over decades by being the local pains. This is what happens when you dedicatedly turn yourself into House Asshole Victim and then give everybody with a grudge a fairly socially acceptable, justifiable excuse to swoop and take you to the cleaners. By proxy. And, alongside everybody else. Even the less involved, more innocent members of the family are in acute danger of getting murdered either by the actual neighbors or with said neighbours' tacit support — and, with nobody raising much of a stink about where the suddenly freed-up lands or anything may go... can we say out-of-control Cycle of Revenge? Yeah: it's that. And, a nice excuse to land-grab on the side.

The Garry's Mod has couple of gamemodes with this kind of premise.
Trouble in Terrorist Town, where there are "innocent" terrorists and "traitor" terrorists. The traitors are the murderers.
Murder! has one knife-wielding murderer and a bunch of innocent bystanders, who have a single gun to defend themselves against the murderer.

Parodied in Frasier when the station is redoing an old radio drama. It was clearly supposed to be like this, but Niles (who was forced to take on multiple roles, including the murderer, at the last second) finally gets sick of Frasier's overdirecting and "kills" every other character in under a minute, before doing himself in cheerfully proclaiming that the secret of the mystery will die with him, leaving Frasier (as the detective) to desperately close the thing out.

In Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, the characters have been kidnapped by a mysterious person called Zero to play a "Nonary Game" on a sinking ship. But some of the players know each other in a less-than-friendly context, and they aren't all able to go through the final door. You do the math...depressingly, though, it turns out the game is designed so all players survive by the end if they cooperate. While they can't all go through the final door, there are two final doors that would allow everyone to get through. Also, the only people in any real danger are those who made the first Nonary Game, the one played during the game being the second. The "sinking ship" the protagonist is on is a facility in the Nevada desert.

Remington Steele had at least one of these, with Steele referencing And Then There Were None and its signature plot twist: the sixth person to 'die' faked his death and was actually the murderer.

The first Gall Force does this without the murders. Each cast member is offed by differing circumstances as they try to make their way to the planet Chaos. The mole was Catty, but she was only trying to arrange for one of the others to get a Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong in the name of galactic peace, and didn't actually try killing anyone. She sacrifices herself halfway through to let the other survivors get to an escape pod. A self-parody short of the entire series is even titled Ten Little Gall Force.

Moto Hagio's They Were Eleven has this happening during a survival test where ten students are stranded on a derelict spaceship... so why are there eleven of them? Everyone knows that one of them shouldn't be there as accidents keep happening, and the hero has the additional problem of fitting the "competent and helpful" rule of Mole detection above—as the other students begin to notice. Everybody Lives. The extra examinee was an instructor sent in as The Mole to cause trouble and force the group to quit the test, as a Secret Test of Character for all of them; things got out of his control. The hero's suspicious knowledge of the ship was because he was unknowingly a survivor of the disaster that originally destroyed it.

A large part of Umineko: When They Cry's plot is based on this trope, fittingly, considering that the whole story is a Whole-Plot Reference of the Trope Namer. Between a Succession Crisis and a bizarre riddle counting off the visitors' horrific deaths (most of them in closed rooms) in a witch resurrection ceremony, the characters can't figure out whether they're being bumped off by each other or by an actual witch. And to add a meta-layer, you soon realize that the third-person narration is often outright lying (though the way it lies and what it shows often serves as a hint). Oh, and if the hero hasn't found the culprit when time runs out, the two days reset and another murder scenario starts. In the end, it turns out that not only is the culprit among the 18 people, they want to be discovered and stopped. All in all, this is quite a zig-zagging example.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Allegiance", Picard found himself in a similar situation to the Star Trek novel example, where he and three strangers are left in a cell with hints that one of them is working for their captors. In this case, not only was one of them the mole but an impostor Picard was also placed on the Enterprise to run an experiment on the crew.
