Description
Murder mystery party game description
A Gothic murder mystery party for a minimum of 10 players, ages 16+ for difficulty (it's not for novices and has a fun challenge). There are multiple kit sizes available.
Spoil yourself, and choose the party ready option above, and our dedicated staff will fold and slip your clue cards for rounds one, two, and three into the envelopes to prevent you from seeing spoilers on the round cards. Without the party ready option selected, you will have some assembly required with your kit and there will be spoilers upon opening the kit and viewing the rounds 2 and 3 clue cards.
This game is a formal dinner party theme with intriguing twists and turns in a topsy-turvy world behind the legendary Mirror of Daebub - an antique mirror rumored to have supernatural powers. The download version is a different product and does not come with the party pack, as they are not seamless and materials should not be used together.
There are two victims in this game. One is the traditional victim-player, and the second is notified by the host towards the end of round two - the players will never see it coming! No worries, the identity of victim #2 will be in an envelope in your kit, so the host doesn't need to know in advance who they will be.
