Bev Postma hosted Casino Fatale in Singapore for New Year's Eve. She writes: "Happy New Year to all at Freeform Games! We had a fantastic night on New Year’s Eve thanks to Casino Fatale. We staged the game at Brasserie Gavroche (aka Hotel d’Etoile) with a real Parisian Chef and a real Parisian Casino Manager. We even played a recording of...
Lorraine Shaw sent us some photographs of her A Heroic Death murder mystery party. She writes: "We had an awesome evening playing A Heroic Death! It was my daughter's 17th birthday party. This is the 3rd freeform game we've played and we love them (we are in Zimbabwe). Such fun for everyone!" It looks like they are having lots of fun! A Heroic...
Melissa Covert told us about her The Karma Club party:"We had the best Karma Club party. It was an all girls party, and it was so fun! Everyone dressed like their characters, brought some candy cigarettes, and made food and drinks in the 60s."
Rachel Foyst recently told us about her Way out West party:"We played Way out West as a fundraising event for our son's trip to Europe with other youth at our church. It was a fabulous time! We used all 27 available characters and there were plenty of townsfolk who came as spectators. We were surprised how quickly the characters jumped into...
Mark R recently wrote to tell us about Kumospace. In Mark’s words… We did Reunion with Death back in 2020 using Zoom. The game was great, but Zoom is a bit clunky since the host must admit people to rooms. Kumospace layout I just bought Death in Venice. I'll use a different service this time: Kumospace. I haven't used it yet (other than to play...
We have received a great story from Rosie about her Way out West Zoom party. Way out West on Zoom I ran Way out West via zoom for a group of old school friends last weekend and it was so much fun! The players said it was one of the best evenings they’ve had all year. I wrote one extra character. My husband played it and said it worked really...

Although we've not tried it, it's another option if you want to run a murder mystery game online. The Food is to Die For The restaurant Gather.town uses a map, and while several are provided none of...
In an earlier post Kelly from Michigan told us about the prizes she awards when she hosts one of our murder mystery games. The Reality is Murder She then told us about another thing she does - mass murder! “We usually have a mass murder after the game is over. I let anyone who wants to kill anyone else if they win at RPS, it doesn't matter if...
Lord and Lady Westing’s Will is one of our more challenging murder mystery games to run online. The game is set in an English country house with numerous private bedrooms to sneak into. Our rules for searching the rooms involve talking to the host (because you probably don’t have an English country house of your own to run the game in). Different...
Kelly in Michigan has tried both Reunion with Death and Death in Venice, and has shared her story (and some great tips) with us. “Thanks for making the online versions of the games! We tried both of them. I don’t think I am qualified to review Reunion With Death though. The first time around I was going through stuff and made a mess of it. The...
