Superhero Assassination murder mystery game
A super fun superhero murder mystery party for 6-10 heroes, ages 12+. The story is set at an annual superhero meeting to discuss the capture of a notorious criminal mastermind known as Da Bomb. Host this party if you are up for loads of super powers, deceit, intertwining story lines and murder! This game may be played as co-ed, all-female, or all-male (minus 2 optional females in expansion pack #1).
The downloadable version does not come with the party pack version, as it's a separate product and not seamless with the boxed version.
With the 15-player kit, you are only receiving a portion of the expansion pack #1, so you will have some tasks in the pre-game round (which is optional) for your players to contact the other characters in expansion pack #1. But this will not affect your game, as the host has control over the pre-game.
Select the party ready option above, and our staff will fold and slip the clue cards for rounds one, two, and three into the envelopes to prevent you from seeing spoilers on the round cards. If you do not select this option, you will have some assembly required with your kit.

Mystery Synopsis:
The superheroes of the Justice Confederation received their summons to the Annual Superhero Assembly with the primary discussion topic on the agenda of how to apprehend the notorious villain Da Bomb. The Justice Confederation heroes were well aware that Da Bomb was assembling an army of robotic bombs to take over the world and had to devise a clever strategy to stop Da Bomb - and fast!
Everyone arrived safely as planned in a secret cave inside of Mount Super and the critical meeting convened. Before getting down to important business, the superheroes enjoyed appetizers and fun party games while mingling and catching up with their fellow superheroes. After some of the business on the agenda was deliberated, a scrumptious dinner was served. Then, to everyone’s horror, a fellow hero suddenly collapsed to the floor...dead!
The superheroes joined forces to figure out whodunit, as there’s nothing more dangerous than a traitorous superhero! After deciphering a code, uncovering motives, and figuring out the locations of everyone during the murder, the investigative heroes turned in their best guesses of whodunit before taking a break to play more fun party games. Then, over a delicious dessert, the super group took turns explaining their involvement, if any, with the murder.
Everyone was shocked when the murderer confessed! The heroes capped off the meeting with more food and fun. Overall, the assembly was a great success as the location of Da Bomb was uncovered and the Justice Confederation immediately went to his hideout, apprehended him and saved the world. At least for now.
