About the bundle:
Hosts! This revived January 2017 Murder Parties Bundle once again presents unforgettable open-ended live-action murder-mystery party games from Freeform Games. Invite your guests to an evening of food, drink, and investigation of a murder. One guest did it – but who? With no predetermined script, these party games put you and six to 32 friends in the heart of the action. Before the party, every player gets a detailed character background with goals, contacts, secrets, and costume tips. At the gathering, you all decide who to talk to, trust, or betray. In four hours or so, will the murderer be discovered? You won’t know until the party’s over.
With settings from Hawaii to Golden Age Hollywood to the Wild West, these .PDF kits include step-by-step instructions for the host, quick-start hints for guests, illustrated item cards, reference sheets, and much more. Some games provide versions for kids, extra “emergency characters” in case someone brings a friend, and other thoughtful touches. Look over the free introductory ten-guest Way Out West game, and then investigate this bargain-priced collection for groups of six to 30+ guests. Start planning a summer party!
