London Murder Mystery Game

About this game

The London Murder Mystery game has unique gameplay in that the evidence necessary to solve the crime is buried in 'dossiers'. Each player receives a dossier. A police inspector's report is also included with variable evidence. This is probably the game's most notable mechanic - unlike most of this genre and vintage, this game has strong replayability. Certainly dated, a flexible vinyl phonograph record sets the scene. Once the evidence has been presented, players make an accusation, based on establishing motive and opportunity. A red plastic 'magnifying glass' is used to check the answer based on the evidence.
