I’ve long since been a fan of horse racing and racing related outings. At this time of year, I love reading about the style guide suggested by the highlight of the flat racing calendar. What a magnificent show of pageantry, fashion, frivolity and sportmanship! It struck me that those who like to get their gladrags on for racing would be prime candidates for hosting a murder mystery, hence this latest game, Murder At Royal Ascot! I’ve thrown some time travelling in there, so this game is set in the 1950s!

Format: Unlike my other games, which are flexible, this game has a very certain killer. Having a set killer can change the game dynamic considerably, but it is still suitable to be played by beginners but will add something fresh for those well-versed in playing murder mystery games.
