***NEW UPDATE****

How do I pick which guests to play?

The majority of our games are flexible, meaning that it works for a range of players. This can leave extra players left over, so how do you choose?Read your host guide carefully to see if you have any specific characters to play, but otherwise choose whoever you like as the games are flexible!

For the Great Has Been, we suggest using Sammy and Dick.

Do I need a newspaper obituary?

PS Not all games have newspaper obituaries, especially where the murder happens during the game. If there is not one in your pack, it’s not a part of your game.
