Details

It is the only game shown to have changed difficulties. Out of all the numbered games, 'Witch Hunt' was the game shown to have the highest number of participants as well as the highest number of deaths. This was the final numbered game that needed to be cleared to move on to the Second Stage.

Solution

The witch was actually Momoka herself. This was deduced by An after analyzing the fingerprints on the knife, and by Arisu after he realized the true nature of Hearts games.
