1985 | Video Chat Murder Mystery Game Expansion Pack
Available for download at checkout
Regular price
$22.95
Do not purchase this expansion pack without first purchasing the main game of Murder in 1985, a video-chat murder mystery party.
In case you have not yet: Purchase the Required Main Game
This instant-download expansion pack adds 6 optional suspect character roles to the main game, increasing the number of assigned roles from 10 to 16 players.
The expansion players receive character backgrounds, suspect information, clues, dialogue, challenges, and materials for each round. They participate fully in the investigation and remain possible culprits until the evidence rules them out or identifies the murderer.
Helpful Expansion Pack Resources
Use the invitation, character list, player contact sheet, spectator file, and pre-game website included with this expansion pack when adding the expansion roles.
How to Add the Expansion Players
After purchasing the main game and expansion pack, the host assigns any number of the additional roles and sends each expansion player their individual character packet by email or text message.
The expansion packets follow the same gameplay structure as the main-game packets. During each round, expansion players present their assigned clues and/or dialogue alongside the main-game players while the host keeps everyone on the correct page.
Group-size note: Because this expansion adds six additional suspects, the investigation may become more challenging to manage with all 16 character roles. For the smoothest video-chat experience, use only as many expansion roles as needed and place remaining participants in spectator roles.
