(You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read these files. Acrobat Reader is completely free and is available to download here.)
How do they work?
Choose one of the games and download the files. You (assuming that you will be the host) then read the instructions, plus the character backgrounds and other details. You also need to separate out the information that their guests receive - character backgrounds, items, money and so on.
On the night of the party you introduce your guests and give them their detailed character backgrounds. These contain details of who they are and why they are present, along with clues to solving the mystery and the objectives they need to achieve.
Each guest has a character with goals and problems. One might have to solve the murder and pay off their gambling debts. Another character might want a certain object, while yet another is having an affair. Once the game starts, the guests talk to each other and decide who to trust and who to blackmail in order to solve the mystery and achieve their goals.
Unlike the traditional boxed sets available in the shops, these games are completely interactive. While there is a solution to the murder, how your guests achieve their other goals is entirely up to them. There might even be more murders - it's entirely up to you!
Exclusive to the Internet
Our games are available only on the Internet - you won't find them in the shops. Once you have paid for the game, you will be emailed the password that will enable you to download and play the game.
Benefits of ordering over the Internet include:
- Credit card payments are handled by WorldPay, a specialist company with a secure card-payment server - we don't see your credit card details at all
- Ordering over the Internet is virtually instantaneous - we will email you the passwords so that you can start downloading the game immediately
- Environmentally friendly - no packaging or transportation costs
- If you don't trust the Internet, the free introductory files detail other ways to pay
Money-Back Guarantee
We have a cast-iron money back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with our murder mystery games, then just let us know within 30 days and we will refund you your money.
(We should probably add that this doesn't happen very often - most people think that our murder mystery games are pretty good...)
Who are these games suitable for?
Some of our games involve adult themes and as a result they are not suitable for young children. They are perfect for open-minded, intelligent people willing to have a good time.
Run a Freeform Games murder mystery game and have a Halloween to remember!
