Murder mystery games to play at home
A murder mystery is an evening where everyone plays a character and one of you is the killer. Jadagames makes murder mystery games and dinner parties for 4 to 20 players, in nine languages. Everything arrives in your inbox and you can start with almost no preparation.
How a murder mystery works
Every player gets a character with a background, secrets and a motive. Over several rounds, new clues come to light. You question each other, compare stories and try to find out who is lying.
At the end, everyone points out the killer and the solution is revealed. Sometimes the quietest player at the table turns out to be the murderer. Often nobody gets it right, and that is exactly the fun.
Digital game or dinner party?
In a digital murder mystery, everyone plays on their own phone. No booklets, no printer, and ready to go in five minutes. Perfect for drinks, a party or a birthday.
In a print and play murder mystery dinner, you print the character booklets and play the rounds between courses. With invitations for your guests and tips to dress the evening in the theme of the story.
