Manhattan Murders | 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 The Manhattan Murders, a video chat murder mystery party.
In case you have not yet: Purchase the Required Main Game
This instant-download expansion pack adds 5 optional, non-suspect character roles to the main game, increasing the number of assigned roles from 12 to 17 players.
The expansion players portray members of The Wharton House staff and receive character backgrounds, suspect information, clues, dialogue, and materials for each round. They participate alongside the main-game players but are ruled out as possible culprits during Round One, allowing you to expand the group without adding more suspects to the central mystery.
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.
Important: Send the expansion-pack invitation to the expansion players and the original invitation to the main-game players. The Wharton House staff know the main-game characters, but the original players may not know the staff members before the party.
How to Add the Expansion Players
After purchasing the main game and expansion pack, the host assigns 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.
