FAQ - How do "MURDER IN AN HOUR" GAMES work?

"Murder in an Hour" games are Family Friendly games that take about an hour to play. Depending on which game you choose, they can be played by either 3 to 10, or 4 to 12 people.

They are also extremely economical to print off, as none of the game files is more than 30 pages long.

Below you can see the stages in playing the game "Murder in an Hour...in Space".

Allocating Roles

There is scope in the game for 8 suspects and 4 "Space Investigators" who investigate Captain Moon's murder. So the game can cater for a maximum of 12 people.

The Space Investigators ask all the questions. You can have any number of Space Investigators. So if you only had 9 people, you would have 1 Space Investigator who asks all the questions.

If you only have 8 players, then there would be no Space Investigators, and the suspects would ask the questions of themselves.

Finally, if you have less that 8 players, then some players will have to voice two suspects. If you only have 4 players, then each player will voice two suspects.

Rounds One, Two & Three

The Space Detectives read out the Question Cards, and the suspects respond as described in their character booklets. These responses will cause the clue object cards to be turned over. In this particular game some programming chips will also cause those suspects who turn out to be robots to perform unusual activities!

Colour Coding

Like the merrymurder party games, the "murder in an hour" games use colour coded questions and answers to make the games foolproof to play and ensure nobody misses their cue. You can see full details of how the colour coding works here.
