Murderful
Murderful

A murder mystery... where even the murderer doesn't know it's them.

Murderful is playable online through private playtest rooms. One host requests access, waits for approval, opens the room, and then shares the code or join link with the rest of the group.

Approval is handled manually, so it may not be instant. Once the room is open, everyone joins in browser and the investigation begins.

Murderful comes with a live table feed that keeps everyone up to date with the case as it develops, plus live messaging inside the room. It is still best played with everyone on the same voice or video call, so players can question, bluff, interrupt, and accuse in real time.

Murderful is a social deduction game for 4-8 players where the truth is hidden and constantly shifting. Everyone has a secret Alibi. One of them is AT THE SCENE, the real location of the crime. But there's one problem: you're not allowed to look at your own card.

That truth may be with a player or out on the Street, so the room is trying to work out where it is hidden before time runs out.

Investigate. Bluff. Accuse.

  • Gather clues from other players.
  • Spread rumours and test reactions.
  • Accuse suspects and deal with the consequences.
  • Race against the clock before the truth disappears.

What makes Murderful different?

  • No moderator required. Everyone plays. Nobody sits out.
  • No elimination. Even when you're exposed, you're still in the game.
  • No fixed roles. Even the guilty don't know.
  • A moving mystery. The key card can change hands.
