Murder mystery games for up to 9 people
This page lists our murder mystery games for up to 9 people. (A heads up – except where noted, this excludes the host.)
Games where the host can also play a character
In most of our games, the host has a separate role to oversee the game, moderate events, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
But we have a few games where the host can play a character. These games don’t include our more complicated elements (such as combat, poison or pickpocketing), which means the host can also play.
Just make sure you don’t accidentally read the solution!
Games the host can play
