Murder Mystery Games & Kits to Print at Home

Two ways to play on paper. Cold Case Files are complete police files you solve at the table: alone, as a murder mystery for 2 or with a whole group. Murder Mystery Kits are murder mystery party games for 5 to 25 guests: every guest gets a character or a secret role and the host guide runs the night. Every game is an instant PDF download, sold one by one, and none of them is part of Premium.
