The Detective Club Murder – a free downloadable murder mystery game
Have you ever wanted to step into the pages of your favourite mystery novel? Well, now you can, with this interactive murder mystery game from Ruth Ware.
Play over dinner with friends, or by zoom or skype with cocktails, The Detective Club Murder is a role-playing game for 4 to 8 players, which transports you deep into the English countryside, to Mistletan Manor, the ancient country-house home of celebrated crime writer Sir Aubrey St Clair.
CAN YOU SOLVE THE DETECTIVE CLUB MURDER?
You and your friends are the hand-picked members of the Detective Club, the crème de la crème of the crime-writing elite, here to toast the club’s fiftieth anniversary. But when Sir Aubrey’s body is discovered, stabbed to the heart in his own study, everyone falls under suspicion – and everyone has secrets to hide. Can you band together with your fellow crime writers to solve The Detective Club Murder before too many painful truths come to light?
With eight possible outcomes and a murderer selected on the night, you can play any combination of 4-8 detective club members, plus an optional narrator. Or use Ruth Ware’s video introductions to set the scene, and the host can play along too.
With printable player booklets, suggested menus, and scene-setting video narration from Ruth Ware, these free downloads contain everything you need for a night of shivery sleuthing. Pack your pen and your magnifying glass and take your courage in both hands – your invitation to Mistletan Manor awaits!
