Exorcism at the Asylum

With regards to the tragedy that occurred at Madonna House, Park Slope, New York, on the morning of August 13th, 1969, we hereby give notice that the Vatican has launched an official investigation. You were present in the asylum when the body of Nurse Sara Hinder was found.

Father Kelly is sent to take care of the investigation because the asylum’s resident priest, Father Brennan, is far too young and inexperienced to carry this out (especially if an exorcism is required).

It is for Father Kelly to lead the investigation and ascertain who or what is to blame. Be prepared to defend yourself but more importantly be honest!

What is the best Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game?

An exorcism-themed murder mystery game offers a thrilling descent into the supernatural, where faith, fear, and secrets collide. Set in a once-sacred space now plagued by darkness—a crumbling church, haunted rectory, or isolated manor—the game casts players as priests, demonologists, skeptics, occult scholars, and afflicted witnesses. When a shocking death interrupts a ritual of banishment, suspicion falls on everyone present. Was it a failed exorcism… or a cover for something far more sinister? With its gothic atmosphere, layered lore, and unsettling clues, this game is ideal for horror lovers and mystery fans craving an immersive, spine-chilling experience.

Can I play this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game with 10 people?

Yes – 10 players is a great number for this exorcism-themed mystery. The base version is designed for 4–14 participants, so 10 falls well within the optimal range. Each character—from devout clergy to skeptical scientists and haunted mediums—is intricately woven into the story. The roles are structured to allow easy scaling if a guest cancels or another soul joins unexpectedly. With 10 characters, you'll have a perfect balance of tension, conflict, and overlapping secrets that drive the haunting narrative forward.

Is this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game available for virtual play or in-person events?

Yes – the game can be played either in person or online, making it ideal for remote gatherings as well as atmospheric, candle-lit evenings at home. For virtual play, characters and clues can be sent digitally, and the eerie tone translates effectively through screens. In-person hosting allows for deeper immersion, especially with lighting, music, and setting design. Whether you choose a digital séance or a live ritual around a dining table, the game works flawlessly in either setting—and the haunting ambiance lingers long after the final reveal.

How long does it take to play this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game?


The game typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. Groups with strong focus and fewer players may complete it in 90 minutes, while larger or more theatrical groups—especially those incorporating thematic breaks, eerie sound design, or immersive décor—may play for the full three hours. The pacing is flexible; the host can move clues along briskly or slow things down for suspense-building. Whether it’s a fast-paced investigation or a slow-burning night of unraveling evil, the game’s timing adjusts easily to your event style.

What is included in the Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game kit?

This game kit includes all the materials needed to host a chilling, immersive mystery grounded in supernatural suspense. You’ll receive:


– A detailed instruction booklet that helps you assign roles, prepare the setting, and guide the event with confidence.


– Each player receives a unique role, including secrets, motivations, alibis, and eerie ties to the possessed—or the possession.


– Documents such as exorcism records, cursed diary pages, sacred relics, and fragmented recordings that unlock the mystery piece by piece.


– Optional storytelling segments delivered in the voice of a priest, demon, or narrator to move the plot forward and set the mood.


– Themed invitations that resemble ancient scrolls, confidential clergy reports, or occult warning letters.


– Suggestions for character-appropriate attire (vestments, ritual robes, tattered clothing) and décor (candles, Latin texts, chalk circles).


– At the final stage, players cast their accusations and attempt to unmask both the murderer—and possibly the host of a greater evil.

The kit provides everything needed to conjure an unforgettable evening of fear and mystery.

Can I play this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game more than once?


Yes – the game is designed with replayability in mind. The murderer’s identity can be randomized each time you play, ensuring that no two sessions are exactly the same. Replaying with different character assignments or player groups uncovers new layers of interaction, motivations, and relationships. Whether you’re hosting it again next Halloween or reliving the ritual with a fresh circle of guests, each game offers a distinct experience—haunting in its own right.

What events or occasions is this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game suitable for?

This game is ideal for events that embrace the paranormal, the theatrical, or the spine-tingling. It works especially well for:


– A perfect match for dark décor, spooky soundtracks, and ritualistic fun.


– Bring friends together for a suspense-filled evening with candles and cursed artifacts.


– Great for horror fans and true-crime enthusiasts looking for something dramatic and unique.


– A compelling addition to a night of supernatural discussion and mystery.


– Pair the game with classics like The Exorcist or Hereditary for a fully immersive fright night.


– Ideal for late-night gatherings when the veil feels thin.

If your guests enjoy immersive storytelling, eerie suspense, and a brush with the unknown, this game is a perfect fit.

What is the recommended age group for this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game?

This mystery game is best suited for players aged 15 and above. The themes involve murder, possession, faith, and fear—handled tastefully, but with enough complexity and intensity to be most appropriate for older teens and adults. There's no graphic content, but the psychological and supernatural elements require a degree of maturity and focus. It’s a particularly good choice for those who enjoy serious roleplay, horror fiction, or atmospheric mysteries with a dark twist.

Do players need to dress up in costumes for this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery?

Costumes are optional but highly recommended to deepen the atmosphere. Characters range from clergy and occultists to cursed witnesses and ritual participants—each offering unique visual inspiration. Guests might wear dark robes, crosses, old-fashioned attire, rosaries, or items marked with runes or symbols. Even subtle costume additions—like smudged makeup, blood-stained sleeves, or crucifix accessories—help transform the game from casual to chilling. Hosts can include costume suggestions in the invitations to get guests in the mood for ritual and revelation.

Can I add more players or characters to this Exorcism And Asylum murder mystery game?

Yes – the game supports up to 20 players with the use of optional expansion packs. These add-on characters—such as mysterious witnesses, additional priests, demonologists, or secret cult members—seamlessly fit into the core narrative. Each expansion role comes with backstory, objectives, and connections to the central mystery. Whether your group is 6 or 20 souls strong, the experience remains balanced, engaging, and suspenseful. Just choose the correct expansion to match your guest list and prepare the space for more unholy revelations.

Customer photo review of Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und werden zukünftig definitiv wieder ein Krimidinner veranstalten. Alles war wirklich lustig und gut durchdacht. Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag: Die Charakter sollten eine Einladung für ihren jeweiligen Charakter enthalten. So können sich alle zu Hause besser vorbereiten und müssen vor Ort nicht so viel Text zu beginn lesen. Das hat die Stimmung anfangs leider nicht angeheizt sondern alle eher ins nachdenken gebracht wie und was sie tun sollen. Daher wären vorbereitete und personalisiere Einladungen für die Charaktere auf alle Fälle hilfreich. Ansonsten waren alle sehr happy.

Love this! Deffo recommend. I got the Asylum one to do for my 30th and we had so much fun! We even done it again for Halloween with other people as you can reuse it.

Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Abend! Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht gemeinsam in die Rollen zu tauchen und der Mörder hat uns tatsächlich überlistet. Leider hab ich ein wenig Mimimi, aber auch nur weil an unserem Abend DnD und PnP Spieler dabei waren. Wir hatten die Version für bis zu 8 Spieler und dadurch, dass wir alle bis auf eine Person Charaktere gespielt haben die zum "Staff" gehörten, haben wir uns in Runde 3 alle immer wieder die selbe Frage gestellt und dabei ein bisschen dumm gefühlt. In der ersten Runde bei den Gerüchten, sind am Ende Schwester Mary Helen und Dr. David McCormack zusammen rum gelaufen, da sie fast 1zu1 die selben Gerüchte hatten über alle Charaktere bei uns. Aber wie gesagt, dass ist nur Fine-Tuning für Leute die Erfahrung im Rollenspiel Bereich haben, ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden!

This was perfect for our office social. The exorcism asylum halloween kit was easy to run and it gave the evening a proper focus. We paired it with themed food and drinks. The group quickly settled into their roles.

Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Ich fand die Szenerie und die Idee sehr einfallsreich und spannend, aber leider war die Durchführung Dann etwas verwirrend bzw langweilig, weil man einfach immer nur Dinge vorlesen musste und es ehrlicherweise auch einfach keine Hinweise auf den Mörder gab. Niemand ist letztendlich auf den Schuldigen gekommen, aber das Problem liegt hier wohl vor allem in der Art, wie das Spiel konzipiert ist: Es wird bei jedem Spiel der Mörder erst gezogen und es kann dementsprechend jeder sein, was aber auch dazu führt, dass jeder irgendeine Art von Dreck am stecken haben muss, was ihm ein Motiv gibt -und aber gleichzeitig kann es nur für einen einzelnen eine richtig gute Story geben. (oder eben für gar keinen) Mir hat der rote Faden gefehlt und wir haben nach dem Spiel nachgesehen, was die unterschiedlichen Aussagen der Personen gewesen wären, wenn sie entweder Mörder gewesen wären oder unschuldig - und es hätte quasi gar nichts verändert und keinen Hinweis auf den Täter gegeben, was wir etwas frustrierend fanden. Aber es war ein sehr schöner Abend und wir hatten viel Spaß, auch wenn wir wenig erfolgreich bei der Mordermittlung waren :)

Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Sehr lustiger Abend garantiert. Wir waren 11 Leute, das war auch noch voll ok und überschaubar. Nächstes Mal würde wahrscheinlich lieber paar weniger machen. Das es Audio Datein gab, die vorspielen konnten, war sehr gut und hat alles etwas aufgelockert nochmal. Da ja eh viel lesen ist. Da der Mörder erst bestimmt wird, ist es bei den Beweisen/Hinweisen etwas sehr allgemein und etwas schade drum, dass die nicht wirklich helfen. Zumindest war es bei uns so. Aber auf jedenfall war es mega lustig, die Charaktere haben allen gefallen.

Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Fun and well thought out. Some of the instructions could be clearer, but the overall experience was great. Everyone enjoyed the theme by the end. We would definitely build another evening around one of these. It gave us plenty of talking points after the final reveal.

Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß aber das Spiel gab nichts so viel Freiraum, da es eine Art Skript ist, das gelesen wird.. dafür das es unser erstes Krimidinner war hat es uns aber gut durch das Spiel geführt.

A strong kit with lots to like. It took a little preparation, but the night itself ran smoothly. Once we started, it felt different from a normal party game. It was easy to make the theme our own.

Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht (12 Personen) und war recht angenehm zu spielen. Persönlich gefallen mir festgelegte Mörder in einem Krimi Dinner besser, aber mit der Anzahl an Leuten und da man das Spiel nochmals so spielen kann, hat das sehr gut gepasst

Exorcism & Asylum Halloween Murder Mystery Game Kit

Es hat großen Spaß gemacht! Von der Gruppe kam allerdings das Feedback, das es etwas schade war, das man nicht mehr zu den einzelnen Rollen und dem Motiv des Mörders erfahren hat. Mehr Hintergrundinfos wären noch super gewesen!
