When the Clock Strikes Murder| Virtual Mystery
An exciting New Year's Eve virtual mystery party for 4-12 players. On the flipside, there is an expansion pack that adds 4 more unique characters (non-suspects) and a spectator file to include as many spectators (non-suspect, non-roleplay) as you need - have 100+ in your game. This is the instant download version of the game - no shipping fees, no waiting, no hassle. There are PDF files, websites, and video content - you are not required to print anything, but will need Wi-Fi access if playing on a video chat platform (i.e. Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc). This game takes approximately 2 hours to play. This game has been formatted and tested for virtual play, but can also be played in a home setting - or a combo of home/video chat players. You will send each player a PDF file before the game and meet up virtually to play!
Note: you'll gain access to an optional host character list with only 4 required players listed upon purchase that you can view or choose not to view. This is how you can play with only 4 or 5 in your group.

Mystery Synopsis:
A mysterious business named Crime Alive has emerged out of thin air in the sleepy community of Grimford – a small mountain town seeded deep inside of the Canterbury Woods. The residents have been unable to figure out its mission, but the town gossips have speculated film production, a book publishing company, or private investigators-for-hire. Whatever the enterprise might be – they are hosting a gala on New Year’s Eve for the Grimford residents. Crime Alive has not offered details about the event other than a guarantee of mystery and excitement to be cherished for a lifetime.
You're a resident of Grimford, and nothing exciting ever happens in the town. You were skeptical at first, but the buzz and intrigue got the best of you. After a thorough online interview, you confirmed your spot. You were so thrilled to be included - you put your digital signature on many documents without reading them. Signing consent forms and contracts seemed to be a bizarre requirement to attend a New Year’s party, so it caught you off guard. Nevertheless, you hope for the best. This is where your story begins.
YOU WILL RECEIVE:
- Host instruction file - including bonus games to play virtually, player instructions, and a timeline sheet (abbreviated instructions) for your event.
- 12 character packets (PDF files) to send to your players in advance of the party. They include instructions, a character bio, suspect list, and three rounds of game play (optional pre-game, round one materials, round two materials).
- Solution keys for the game and game challenges - host can play along without spoiling the game.
- Editable text field player contact sheet for pre-game.

Amazing Virtual Fun
This product was easy to use! Everything was organized in an easy to follow manner! All links and videos worked well! I appreciated having a back up script in the event the videos didn't work! I have been telling all of my family and friends about this Virtual Murder Mystery!!!

Fun virtual group activity
Great way to gather with friends in a socially distant way. Easy to follow and share with all participants.

Great!
I have done several of these and this one was by far the best. Excellent story line and very good team building activities!

Fun, Fun, Fun
We played this virtually on New Years Eve with a few different households. We had the best time. It was well organized and easy to play. The videos they make available to you make it feel authentic! I highly recommend this game! Definitely one of our favorites!

Really well put together
The info and files were all great. Super-detailed instructions, which was helpful in guiding the 'party'/ We had 8 participants, and it worked really well (though we were wrong!). It took about 2.5 hours (with short break).

Fun was had by all!!!
Doing our part to stay physically distant from friends this New Year's Eve didn't mean we couldn't still all have fun together virtually. It was great to have a NYE theme mystery that allowed us to get dressed up,... albeit for our characters. This was our second mystery so people were familiar with the flow of the rounds and really got into asking questions outside of our scripts. We are already looking forward to the next one!

Great time and all the support needed
We really had a great time with our virtual New Years mystery party. The files and information downloaded were very through and detailed. It was easy to follow, when I did have a question, my emails were answered within hours. It was a good value.
