Murder Mystery: Mystery at the Inn Game Contents

England, late 16th century. A man is found dead in a countryside village, seemingly after his killer submerged his head in the river running alongside the inn where he was staying. The guests, the village's beloved white witch, and the inn's staff cast suspicious glances at one another, each trying to identify the culprit.

What lies behind this suspicious incident, occurring at the exact moment a prestigious playwright returns home? What story will be revealed by the tapestry woven from the threads of secrets everyone present is striving to hide?

How Do You Play?

In Murder Mystery: Mystery at the Inn, each player receives a character to roleplay during the investigation. After introducing yourselves to the rest of the participants, you must work to solve the mystery while figuring out who your potential allies might be.

Investigation, choices, and interactions with the other characters will shape how the story unfolds. Your actions can lead to one of many possible endings, so analyzing available information and choosing whom to trust carefully is vital.

Gameplay Experience

This murder mystery delivers a deduction and roleplaying experience where every player has their own personal goals within the story. Solving the crime is important, but successfully achieving your character's objectives is equally crucial.

Negotiation, information swapping, and reading into other players' statements are core elements during the game. Not all information you receive is necessarily true, as any character might be hiding significant secrets.

As is typical for this genre, it is designed as a single-use experience. Once the mystery and its branching possibilities are revealed, the game loses much of its element of surprise.
