Here’s a quick guide to the different ranges we sell.
Murderous Decisions (boxed and download, 6-14 players, expandable with optional purchase)
Based on the bestselling Murder Mystery Flexi-Party format, Murderous Decisions games are our most flexible yet, with fully scripted dialogue and an exciting mix of characters for you to pick and choose! The clues in the carefully constructed evidence will point to the killer every single time - no matter who picks the guilty slip! Games in this range can easily be expanded to accommodate more players as full suspects - just choose an extra character, then download and print to add to your game!
Murder Mystery Flexi-Party (boxed and download, 4-20 players)
Murder Mystery Flexi-Party games can be played with any number of guests within the stated range and a flexible mix of male and female guests to suit you. They also still work if a guest has to drop out at the last minute or you find yourself with unexpected extra guests. They’re easy to play, with a traditional question and answer format plus evidence. This range includes family friendly games as well as games that are definitely adult only.
Simply Murder (download only, up to 16 players)
Simply Murder games are an unscripted variety of Murder Mystery Flexi Party games, which means players are given key facts and background information to reveal however they like during the party. Use the evidence to decide what questions to ask others and be prepared to improvise your own responses! Perfect for experienced murder mystery players and role-players! Suitable for 14+.
Murder Mystery Theatre (download only, 8 players plus "audience")
Murder Mystery Theatre games are ideal if you’re looking for a murder mystery party that’s out of the ordinary. These games contain fully scripted scenes that you and your guests act out just like a play. Only four actors are on stage at any one time so the ‘audience’ can be just the other guests or a packed village hall (perfect for fundraisers)! One character will be murdered but then still performs in ‘flashback’ scenes. Suitable for ages 13+.
Ultimate Murder Mystery (download only, from 6 to 14 players)
Ultimate Murder Mystery games can be played with any number of guests within the stated range. They’re freeform games which means players are given character descriptions and have to improvise their roles - guests are also given ‘secret tasks’ to perform during the party. We usually recommend these for experienced murder mystery hosts who would like players to have a bit more freedom about what to say as there's a bit more preparation required than usual. Suitable for buffet style parties and players aged 18+.
Murderous Decisions Case Files (boxed and download, 1+ players)
Case files games provide all the evidence from a cold case murder for you to solve in your own home! Any number of people can join in to solve the murder. Review suspect interviews, watch TV-show clips, study news articles, and visit various people and places to uncover clues the police missed! Recommended for players aged 18 and over for adult themes.
Murder Mystery Date Night (boxed and download, 2 players)
Become partners in solving crime with Murder Mystery Date Night! Discuss the events of the murder with your partner. Choose what evidence to uncover next. Search crime scenes and question suspects. But be careful... time is running out and you won't be able to do it all! Investigate carefully to give yourself the best chance of solving the case. Recommended for players aged 18 and over for adult themes.
Murder For 2 (download only, 2 players)
Murder For 2 is a range of fun murder mystery party games for couples. With 2-6 characters to play, dress-up suggestions and funny accents, there’s no need to invite anybody else.
