Murder mystery games suitable for 17 people

Seventeen different perspectives

With 17 players, there are just as many perspectives on the murder. Everyone has their own observations, their own secrets, and their own motives. It’s practically impossible for any single player to have all the information. That’s why players must work together to uncover the truth, while the murderer tries to hide it.

This keeps the game exciting and unpredictable, even with large groups. With 17 players, unexpected alliances form throughout the evening.

Creating the right atmosphere

For a group of 17, atmosphere is key. A room with dimmable lighting, some appropriate background music, and perhaps a dress code that matches the game’s theme. That instantly takes the evening to the next level.

The game itself already has everything you need to carry the evening. Atmosphere elements are a bonus, not a requirement. However, they do make it feel more like an event than just a game on a weeknight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which murder mystery games work for 17 players?

Games such as Murder at Merkister Castle, Murder in Paradise, and Gangsters, Guns, and Garter Belts are suitable for 17 players.

Do I need 17 chairs for one table?

For a murder mystery dinner, yes, or a setup where everyone can see each other. A long table or a horseshoe arrangement would both work.

What if I don't want to surprise all 17 players on the night itself?

You can send out the roles in advance. Many players appreciate being able to get into character before the evening itself.

Does this work for a company party, too?

Yes, a murder mystery game is a unique way to liven up a company party. It doesn’t feel forced, and colleagues get to know each other in a different way.

Can we stop the game if it gets too late?

The game has natural breaks between stages or levels. So you can pause and finish it later if you want.

Can the theme be adapted to our group?

The theme is predetermined for each game, so that's what you choose. On the product page, you can read about the setting and atmosphere for each game.
