Token Visibility?

My friend sand I are conducting a danganronpa game. The game involves trying to get away with murder, but this is made restricting by being able to see other players tokens on the map. Is there a way to set a limit to what tokens can be seen within a players view varying on spaces or a way to make it so only each player can see the tokens in the same room? basically, is there a way for players to not be able to see where everyone is on the map at every point in time?
Dynamic lighting (a Plus feature) enables line-of-sight tracking, so tokens can't see other tokens on the other side of a wall (each player can only see what the tokens they control can see).
What about if i dont have plus and wont be getting
I don't think you can.  There's a "has sight" option on the tokens under Advanced but that interplays with the dynamic lighting options to the best of my knowledge because you can't limit the length of the sight lines absent using light/darkness.

The only real way you could manage this without the line of sight blocking features of a subscription would be to have each 'room' on a different page within the game. Then you could  move players individually to separate pages as needed and all they could see is the room they are in?
We all agreed to just zoom in to our tokens so we only see within a limited radius.  If anyone cheats, oh well. They spoiled the mystery for themselves.

Social solutions are always easier if you trust the players... and like you say, if they cheat they ruin it for themselves anyway. Happy rolling!
Thank you and everyone else for the advice
