And now, we have created a whole NEW spin on an evening of character-accusing and crime-solving with this “who dunnit” game! That being said, unlike a traditional murder mystery game, THIS game can be played over and over with the solution constantly changing. Pretty great, right? All things considered, this will quickly become one of your favorite detective games and group dates ever!
How to Play Our Mystery Detective Game
For starters, if you have ever played the board game Clue, then this will be a great reference for understanding how to play our WhoDunit game! In short, our mystery and crime detective game is based on this classic board game. However, it uses real people. So, rather than moving a game piece from room to room to make guesses about the solution, the detectives will physically move from room to room and interrogate the suspects themselves! Unquestionably, this is one of the best mystery-solving games you can play in the comfort of your own home!
To illustrate how to play, imagine the following scenario: Six suspects are stationed at various designated areas of your house. Each suspect will receive clues containing what didn’t happen at the crime scene. Then, detectives will race to find a suspect and make an educated guess as to WHO did it, WHERE it occurred and WHAT the weapon was. For example, “Was it Dr. Newbody in the dining room with the poison?” Additionally, the suspects reveal clues throughout the game to help the detectives narrow down the options. Eventually, after a process of elimination, the good detectives will narrow down the solution and solve the mystery. Talk about a thrilling “who dunnit” game, right?!
As a matter of fact, we can confidently say that you and your friends would have the BEST group date ever and have tons of fun playing this crime detective game. You like having fun, right? Who doesn’t?! Even if murder solving games aren’t something you’re familiar with, we suggest rounding up some couple friends and playing this “who dunnit” game ASAP!
