Murder mystery games - the Freeform Games way
Have you got what it takes to solve the murder, achieve your goals and keep your guilty secrets hidden from everyone else? It's up to you!
NEW! - be one of the first to play the expanded version of our best-selling casino murder mystery game, Casino Fatale, now for up to 30 players!
Our murder mystery games put you in the middle of the action. We don't give you a predetermined script to read out, we don't drip feed your background to you - we don't even know how the game will end.
That's up to you.
But we do give you your detailed character background in advance. We give you goals and contacts - and secrets. You might have a secret identity, you might be rich, you might be poor - you might even be the murderer (we'll tell you up front if you are). We even give you ways of finding out other players' secrets - just so you can blackmail them.
You will decide who to talk to, who to trust - and who to betray.
You may know who your friends are. Or you may only think you know who your friends are. You won't know until the chips are down.
"Thanks again for all of your help. We appreciate the excellent customer service you have given us -- it is what makes all the difference!" Janis Kutterer
