Five player games
The following murder mystery party games have a five-player minimum and are moderate difficulty.
For 5 players, it is optimal to host the virtual format mystery game, as it is a group forum, as opposed to mingling, which can be a bit strange with 4-5 players. Click here for that selection - they can all be played in-person with small groups.
If you want to bump up the challenge level, you can consider our Catch a Killer, non-role-playing case file games. They may be played solo, or with any group size. Click here for the Catch a Killer case file games.
