One ending or is the murderer chosen at random?

Hi there,

I really appreciate your website and your general advice. I've been hosting murder mystery games for my son's birthday every year. He's now 16. We've used most of the games (for up to 10 players) on the market.

We prefer games that can only be played once (ie where there is one murderer) rather than some of the other games on the market where anyone can be the murderer.

Can you recommend a game of 8-10 players where this is the case?

We've also been frustrated at the old technology (CDs etc) on the more traditional games so it would be good to know if any audio provided is downloadable?

Many thanks
Susan

My response:

The games on my site all have one ending - so the murderer is predetermined and the plots all work around that. (I am also less convinced about games where anyone can be the murderer.)

The interactive games often have other plots, so there's always more going on than just solving a murder.

This page contains games for 8-10 players.

You might try The Final Curtain, Murder on the Istanbul Express or Bludgeoned on Broadway, but pick a theme you're interested in.
