Zombie Apocalypse Murder Mystery
Player Instructions
-
Each round you will receive a card containing the information you need to play your character's role.
-
Do not fabricate clues or lie in any way (unless your card specifically instructs you to), as this will spoil the mystery for others.
-
Do not break character until the mystery is over.
-
Play your role as you wish. If you feel reserved, remain in the shadows and allow others to approach you. On the other hand, if you crave the limelight - seize it and be a star!
round one
Round one will brake the ice, build your character, and establish motives for the storyline around you. Take time to get to know the other characters and focus on the growing storyline around you.
There are two sets of clues on your card, those to reveal as you mingle with others an personal clues to conceal. As in real life, you know more about your character than anybody else in the room. Use these personal clues to help you decide how to react to others during the game. You will mingle about with others to engage in private conversations while sharing and discussing your clues. The secrets about your character will come out if needed to solve the mystery.
Round Two
This round is all about uncovering the motive. Question everyone, dig into their relationships with the victim, and find out what secrets, conflicts, or grudges may have given them a reason to want the victim gone.
Share clues, compare stories, and challenge anything that doesn't add up. Everyone has a story and everyone has something to hide.
Speak with as many characters as possible and piece together the connections, secrets and possible motives surrounding the victim. Put the story pieces together to make your best guess of whodunit. You never know - your character could be the killer!
Round Three
You will be asked to accuse who you believe murdered the victim. It could be any character in the game. If you believe it is your character, you will write your character's name down and accuse yourself. Afterward, you will be handed a solution card. The suspects will read their solutions in front of the group, and the guilty party will confess.
