Murder mystery cases are super fun and so are escape room puzzles, so why not get the best of both by combining the two. That exactly what we’ve done here are Print Mysteries. We create high-quality murder mystery stories to solve with clues, evidence, secret codes and cryptic puzzles. But don’t worry, we also include lot of optional clues that will nudge you in the right direction if you get stuck. We want our games to be challenging but don’t want you pulling out your hair unnecessarily.
The Problem with Regular Murder Mysteries
In regular murder mysteries, you’re usually provided with pages and pages of information to read, with clues hidden inside certain letters or statements. You might see the name of a medication and need to Google it in order to solve a specific clue. But if you miss out on one tiny bit of evidence (that may or may not make any real-world sense), you’ll be unable to solve the mystery. If you think you know who the killer is, you’ll check the answer to see if you’re right. However, if you get it wrong, the game is over – and the ending is ruined. That is not a fun experience and it’s what frustrated me most about murder mystery games. So, I fixed it!
What are Murder Mystery Escape Room Games?
Murder mystery escape room games are unlike any other murder mystery you’ve tried before. They are split into multiple objectives that need to be completed, in sequential order, for you to find the killer. An objective could be to solve a puzzle, decrypt a secret code, check an alibi, find a discrepancy, etc. It takes all the experiences you’d normally find in an escape room (puzzles, activities, codes) and mixes them with evidence, clues, deep characters and a suspenseful murder mystery story to solve.
What Makes Our Murder Mystery Escape Room Games Amazing?
Mixing puzzle activities with amazing characters is more than enough to make a great game to play, but we’ve added a lot more to make it even better.
Online Clues and Answers
If you get stuck, you can head over to our website and check out some clues to nudge you in the right direction. We don’t outright tell you the solution, so you’ll still need to solve it yourself, but we won’t leave you stranded.
We’ve also found that the best way to provide answers to each objective is to provide them online. When you think you’ve solved an objective, simply head over the answers section on our website and choose which answer you think is correct from the multiple-choice box we provide. If you get it right, then it’s time to move onto the next objective. If you get it wrong, then you might want to check out one of the clues to get you on the right track. By keeping it multiple choice, you won’t be given the answer immediately nor will you accidentally see it, so you can continue investigating.
Objectives
We’ve broken down every murder mystery game into a bunch of different objectives. You must complete each objective in order to proceed to the next one. Instead of being bombarded with pages and pages of text, you are only provided with additional clues after you complete each objective. This gives everyone in your team an opportunity to solve something. And even if you don’t solve the mystery, you’ll still have solved lots of other objectives along the way.
No Prior Knowledge Needed
Every one of our murder mysteries will have all the evidence on the pages provided. We don’t expect you to know what every medication does or know every country in the world. If there’s something that you need to know to solve an objective, we will find a way to include it on the pages provided. So you don’t need to be a pub quiz master to play any of our games. That’s not to say that they aren’t challenging – they definitely are, but they are always fair for everyone playing.
Printable Fun
I’ve lived all over the world, and I know that if I want a physical version of any game – I need to be living in that country to get it shipped. With the prices of international shipping so high, it’s just not feasible to deliver worldwide. That’s why we make all of our games printable. As long as you’re able to print out the pages in color somewhere, you’ll have access to the full game. By not having to pay those high shipping costs, we’re able to sell our games at very low prices. So, if you’re looking for an amazing interactive murder mystery experience on a budget – look no further.
