New characters for Court in the Act
We have two new characters for Court in the Act written by Pam Hoffmann and Jeremy Gustafson:
- Carlos Santiago — Assistant to the Spanish Ambassador (M)
- Syrino FForeal — Cardinal’s under-secretary (M)
You can find these when you download the game files for Court in the Act.
You can read more about how these characters were created on our blog, here.
A Speakeasy Murder -actual play video
Helena Mas sent us this spoiler-free video of A Speakeasy Murder, filmed at Cafe Repin in Potsdam, Germany.
Pirate games for Talk Like a Pirate Day
How do pirates know that they are pirates? They think, therefore they ARRRR!
It’s under a month to International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19) and we have three pirate games for you to choose from:
- A Dead Man’s Chest is set on the sleepy Caribbean island of Santo Oloroso and is for 12 to 16 guests.
- Davy Jones’ Locker is set aboard the Libra, and is for 10-15 guests.
- Pirate Island is a pirate-themed party game for 6-32 (although it’s better with more).
And remember, to err is human but to arrr is pirate.
Keeping score in our murder mystery games
Every now and again we are asked if we have a way of assigning points to goals so that our guests can keep score.
We have never done that, mainly because in our experience is not necessary. We believe you can have as much fun in one of our games if you fail all of your goals, and making it competitive might undermine that.
But, if you do want to try scoring one of our games, Steve describes on our blog how he would do it.
