Our Lily's old enough now to watch crime dramas, and one New Year's Eve I thought—why not host a proper murder mystery instead of charades? I printed this one out, and honestly, it kept a room of eight adults debating, laughing and genuinely stumped for two solid hours. Tom didn't speak to me for an hour after someone accused him of the crime (he's still not over it).
This is a full detective package. You print everything, lay out the evidence and suspect files, and your guests work through a locked-room mystery: Professor Elias Raven, brilliant physicist, found dead in his lab. No clear cause. No clear motive. But someone in his inner circle is lying.
📦 What you get in the PDF
- A complete case file with witness statements, forensic reports and suspicious documents—genuinely convincing stuff
- Nine suspect profiles with photos, alibis and buried motives (each one a plausible killer)
- Evidence cards: fingerprints, coded documents, timeline inconsistencies
- Logic puzzles and code-breaking challenges that actually matter to solving the case
- A suspects checklist so everyone tracks their own theory
- A game-leader guide with timing cues and the full solution
- Everything ready to print on standard A4 paper
