Each participant gets a script with directions on what to say and do for the next act of the mystery.Each booklet with the actor's script is unique to the individual character.

Honestly, we've done so many "Murder Parties" it's difficult to remember back that many years.. I know this company is probably the easiest to follow for beginners.. They're usually well scripted and if your guest is at least a little theatrical, it is a bit like a play.. I would suggest that the host or someone who is not a character have access to all of the different parts in order to make sure all the clues are given and to also keep things moving along.. It should be done by someone who can be a leader with a little humor mixed in.. We've found this technique extremely helpful.. We usually have 18-24 guests using quite a large number of "made up" additional parts in addition to those provided..

No, each player gets info at certain points in the game and can choose how to share it. This game is more improv than scripted.

No. This is like the perusal copy. Sample cd, and libretto. You'll need to purchase a performance pack and liscense for the performance cc

Nope. Good interactive game-play. The artwork shows some men in gladiator garb and men and women in modest togas.

True. There is a small included adventure, but after that you are on your own. Although there are tons of resources online (message boards, recycling old movie plots etc) to get you going. And feel free to steal ideas from your players. For example when they talk worriedly about how they think someone will turn on them, jot that down if it's a good idea.

You couldplay but should take one of the "extra's" parts. They don't have the written dialogue. You will need to be very careful, however, not to give the murder away. My husband and I chose to be the hosts instead and played no character. Instead, we kept the game on course, served the guests and answered any questions about how to play. It was fun to do that.

Yes---It saves TONS of time and does things that word cant. One BIG thing is stretching out or shrinking line spacing so dialogue or action lines don't get split at the end of the pages. And less worry, as you KNOW that your script is formatted to industry standards too.

Not that I'm aware of. The other consideration is the violence. There isn't tons of gore, but the nature in which you eliminate enemies can be pretty graphic and intense depending on the maturity level/age of the player.

I don't think so, unless someone plays two characters. Each booklet is independent of the others, and you need the clues from all of them.

Yes it does also has play and pause control. I LOVE THE PLAY. Worth every penny.

I have played with 2 players several times and had some fun, tense games. The game really shines with 3-5 though, in my opinion. I'd probably look to other games if you want a *primarily* 2-player experience.

No, that is the one thing I wish was different. The one setting it does have seems to be pretty high which can really conflict with ones needs.I hope this helps in your decision!

I gave up trying, so I haven't checked in a while. I mostly use mine for live playing with Mainstage. But, I'd love to know the answer myself... Let me know!

Yes, the characters talk, sometimes too much for me. It is fun at other times, though. Hope this helps.

This is not scripted. You will receive information that you should reveal as questions are asked of your character. The murderer is told at the beginning that he/she is the ONE!

No. I only use it for halloween projections for a haunted house. The Rez is not good for theatre quality.
