Included free with every game
Every game now comes with its own app. Send cinematic invitations, hand every guest a secret script on their phone, and let the app quietly cast the killer.
Cast your guests and the app sends each one a cinematic invitation — their character, their costume brief, and an RSVP that fills your table for you.
Before the party, each guest steps into the green room — their character portrait, their backstory, their costume, and lines only they can see.
One tap, and someone in the room becomes the murderer. Only their phone knows. They read the guilty lines; everyone else plays it straight. Nobody can spoil it — not even the host.
Tap-to-examine evidence lands each round, the Detective's recordings set the scene, and when it's time, a synchronized countdown unmasks the killer on every phone at once.
More ways to play
Snap a photo in costume and it becomes your character's face all night — in the parlour, on the ballots and at the reveal.
Every guest's photos and videos collect in one shared party album — to relive the morning after.
Run the night as the Detective, or play a character yourself and let the app's recordings narrate.
Vote on the honours — Best Detective, Best Costume, Best Liar — and crown them together at the end.
