8 players, 8 suspects, 1 culprit

With 8 players, you have a great group for a murder mystery game at home. Each player is assigned a role with their own secrets and motives, ensuring everyone can fully participate. There are enough suspects to keep the mystery exciting and a dynamic that sparks lively conversation.

A murder mystery dinner for 8 people around a dining table works particularly well. Everyone can see each other, conversations flow naturally, and the dinner sets the pace for the game. For a purely digital murder mystery game, you can also sit scattered around the living room. Everyone follows along on their own phone.

Organizing a murder mystery game for 8 people

Organizing a murder mystery game for 8 people requires almost no preparation time. After placing your order, you’ll receive the game immediately via email. You choose a date, invite 7 friends or family members, and on the night of the event, everyone logs into the game using their own smartphone. The virtual detective guides you through the story. No game master needed, no rules to explain.

For a murder mystery dinner for 8 people, you spread the story across 3 courses. Between courses, players gather clues, question each other, and try to uncover the killer’s motive. By dessert, one of the guests is certain. But is their suspicion correct?
