Murder Investigation Games

Murder investigation games provide a night of wicked entertainment for groups of up to 16 people who enjoy role-playing and strategy games. In a typical murder mystery game, each player is assigned a character identity they must play for the night. Players receive clues during the game, which can last two hours or more. Each player attempts to gather clues from others in order to be the first person to solve the mystery and find the killer.
