ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Murder mystery game

Okay kiddo, have you heard of a game called the 'murder mystery'? It's a game where you and your friends get to pretend that you're playing a detective and trying to solve a mystery, like in a detective storybook or a movie.

In this game, one person will be the 'murderer' and the others will be the 'detectives'. The murderer's job is to keep their identity a secret, while the detectives have to figure out who the murderer is by collecting clues and putting together pieces of information.

Everyone will get a character to play, which will give you a name, a backstory, and some information about your relationship to the other characters. This will help you to figure out who might have a motive to commit the murder.

During the game, the detectives will gather clues by asking questions and looking for evidence. They'll have to work together to piece together the mystery and figure out who the murderer is before it's too late!

But be careful, the murderer will try to mislead the detectives and throw them off the trail by giving them false clues or trying to make it look like someone else did it.

The game is over when the murderer is caught or when the time runs out. Then, everyone gets to reveal their true identity and all the clues will be explained to help the detectives understand how the murder happened.

It's a fun and exciting game that can be played at parties or just with your friends. The best part is, you get to use your imagination and be a detective just like in the movies!
