Murder Mystery Games

A session runs three or four hours, and the script decides everything

Paid by the session, with the venue supplying the script and a host, so nothing needs preparing. The quality depends almost entirely on the script and who else is at the table, so start with a well-reviewed beginner scenario rather than a hard deduction one. It asks for three or four unbroken hours and for you to perform.

First stepBook a well-reviewed beginner scenario at a murder mystery venue, play your assigned role, and clear four hours for it.
