Murder mystery party games!

Freeform Games banner ad

Yes, we're now selling murder mystery games via the Web. If you've ever played one of those murder mysteries you get in a box from WHSmith or wherever, you'll know that most of them aren't all that good, as games or even as entertainment. The plots don't make sense, the characters are just a collection of phrases to say, and the way information about your character is revealed to you gradually means that you'll often end up contradicting something you said earlier. Anyway, we reckon that it's easy to make the murder mystery party concept a lot better than that, and the way to do it is to get proper gamers to write the games. We're now in an arrangement with four different firms to sell their excellent murder mysteries.

Curse of the Pharaoh, Court in the Act, A Dead Man's Chest, Way out West and The Night before Christmas / Dazzled to Death were written by UKG people, so they're especially recommended!

(Some of the games are priced in GB pounds, and some in US dollars – to convert between them, or to work out the price in your own currency, use the XE.com Personal Currency Assistant.)
