NEW GAME! We've just brought out a fantastic new aristocratic murder mystery game, Lord and Lady Westing's Will, at just 20 pounds / 30 USD for a game for 11–16 guests!
FREE GAME! Click here to download your copy of our completely free murder mystery party game.
It's a version of Way out West, our most popular game. It has all the same depth, complexity, fun and excitement of the paid-for game, but it's just for 10 guests – that's the only difference. Well, and it's FREE! See for yourself!
Sunday 9th June is the night of the Tony Awards, celebrating everything that's great about the theatre! You could stage your own backstage bloodbath this year, with Bludgeoned on Broadway, the game in which greasepaint meets grievous bodily harm.

Who we are
Freeform Games LLP is a partnership founded in 2001 by two veteran game designers, Steve and Mo. We believe that although there are plenty of murder mystery games you can buy in shops and elswhewhere on the Web, they're mostly lacking that certain something – whether it's a thin plot, a so-what dénouement, shallow characters, a lack of atmosphere, or just plain not making sense. We think that if you've been dissatisfied with murder mystery games you've played up till now, or if you just want to see the best that the hobby has to offer, you'll be making this site your first port of call from now on.
"There was so much to do, we never had a flat
moment. What was even nicer, some people had worked that day and were
a tad tired – your games allow them to play as intensely or not
intensely as they want… there's no "have to" in your games."
Lee Nelson
We're going to carry on releasing a steady stream of new murder mystery games to accompany those you see here. They'll be in different settings, for different numbers of players, and with different themes, so that whatever your murder mystery party requirements are, you'll find them satisfied here.
"Thank you very much for your swift response.
I am very grateful (not to mention impressed with your customer service)!"
Sarah Buxton, Bristol
We guarantee that you'll find our murder mystery games to be:
- challenging
- intriguing
- involving
- clearly written
and most of all
- FUN!
And to prove we mean what we say, if you're genuinely not satisfied with any of our games, we'll give you a no-quibble full refund.
"A word of thanks to our UK brethren from
the USA: After purchasing the Death on the Gambia game,
we had a hard drive crash and lost all of our files. In a panic, we e-mailed
for help with restoring our purchased game. Within the hour, we had a
response and our game is (somewhat) safely ensconced on our hard drive!
Thank you so much. You have earned our repeat business with flying colors."
Jeannie Reynard, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Steve and Mo
We don't write all these games ourselves, though – we work with a bunch of terrific murder mystery writers! They include Chris, Tracy, Lisa B, DeAnna, Mark, Jennifer, Tara, Anastasia, Lisa P and most recently Becky.
You are all fantastic mystery party designers!
