OVERVIEW

As a keen amateur sleuth, your deduction powers are vital to uncover WHO the murderer is, HOW they did it, and WHY. Can you, along with your fellow sleuths, reveal who the murderer is? Or will an innocent person be wrongly accused whilst the guilty walks free? In Devilish Deaths, there are 4 unique cases to solve, each with their own witnesses to question, clues to investigate, and forensics to test to help you reveal the truth. Piece all the information together to decide who is lying and who is telling the truth, discard the red herrings, and work as a team to bring the murder victim justice!

ATMOSPHERE

Devilish Deaths creates a highly social, engaging, and satisfying experience where you constantly discuss the latest clues, forensics, and witness statements with your fellow sleuths, to see how it shapes your murder mystery theories. With each new piece of information you gather, the game changes, providing engagement right until the big moment when the murderer is revealed.

MECHANICS

You only have hours to solve the murder! Each turn is one hour, so time is your enemy. Work swiftly but precisely as wrong accusations will damage your reputations and bring doubt into the investigation. Once the Time Token reaches the last hour, you have to unmask the murderer, before the police, and claim your rightful place in history as the most respected amateur sleuth since Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes!
