Murder at the Hero and Villain Summit Mystery Game Synopsis:
The infamous Moon King has escaped from prison, forcing the world’s most powerful heroes to form an unprecedented alliance with notorious villains. If the Moon King reaches his secret lair, he plans to unleash a catastrophic attack capable of destroying the planet.
The Freedom League has summoned both sides to a high-tech sanctuary hidden deep beneath Shadow Falls, the crime capital of the world. For the first time, heroes and villains must occupy the same space, share intelligence, and develop a strategy before their mutual enemy disappears beyond their reach.
Explosive personalities, old grudges, secret agendas, and deep mistrust threaten the fragile alliance from within. Is bringing these rivals together more dangerous than allowing the Moon King to remain free? Your summons has arrived, and this is where your story begins.
This is the Hero and Villain Summit game featuring the Freedom League and Moon King—not the separate Superhero Assassination game involving the Justice Confederation, Mount Super, and Da Bomb.
Your boxed kit arrives professionally printed and prepared for easy hosting. The exact quantity of materials varies depending on the selected kit size.
Included in the Boxed Kit:
- Host Instructions, including the standard host booklet and a game-specific information sheet
- Professionally Printed Game Materials
- Character Materials, including the Host Character List, Guest List, and Clue Cards
- Solution Materials
- Envelopes and Other Required Game Components
- Optional Extras, such as the free invitation
- Envelopes are not sealed, even in the spoiler-free kits, in case the host needs to view the cards. Sealing envelopes before gameplay is optional.
- Select games may also include video content, bonus clues, or other interactive extras. Any game-specific extras will be listed above under Interactive Extras.
Some light assembly may be required with the standard version. For a spoiler-free, party-ready game, select the appropriate kit option above.
For immediate access to a print-at-home version, use the instant download link on the product page instead of purchasing the boxed kit.
Standard vs. Spoiler-Free Assembly
Standard Version
The standard version requires light assembly before the party. The host must fold and insert the cards for Rounds 1, 2, and 3 into the corresponding labeled envelopes.
Spoilers are limited to the Round 2 and Round 3 card bundles. If the host wishes to avoid seeing them, a trusted person who is not playing may fold and insert those cards. The remaining kit will still arrive prepared without exposing the host to spoilers.
Spoiler-Free Version
With the Spoiler-Free (Party-Ready) Preparation Option, the Round 1, 2, and 3 clue & solution cards are professionally folded and inserted into their designated envelopes, allowing the host to prepare for and host the party without any fear of viewing the spoiler content.
Pre-game character materials are not inserted into envelopes. This allows the host to add the players' contact information on the task cards while they are still arranged in a convenient stack, rather than removing them from envelopes and reinserting them afterward.
Included Assembly in Both Versions
Certain materials are inserted into their designated envelopes in every boxed kit, when applicable. These may include:
- Blackmail notes and other special messages
- Victim signs
- Forensic reports
- Scavenger hunt materials
- Other game-specific surprise items
Keep each bundle of envelopes together according to its label, such as Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3. Some envelopes may already contain game-specific materials, even when the remaining cards still require insertion.
With the standard kit, if an item has already been placed inside a designated character’s envelope, tuck it inside that character’s folded clue card before returning the card to the envelope. This helps ensure the player sees the additional item when the round begins.
Envelopes Are Not Sealed
Envelopes are left unsealed in both versions. This allows the host to review or adjust the materials if necessary, such as when a guest cancels at the last minute, and the host needs to confirm that all vital characters remain assigned.
The host may seal the envelopes before gameplay, but sealing is optional.

It was well thought out, creative, and gave enough latitude to let you make the characters “yours”; however, limiting the guest list to 20 max was unfortunate as we typically have 25+ for these events. Highly recommend this option if you have 20 or less people attending/invited.
This party was the most fun my friends and I have ever had in one night. Will be doing another very soon.
