HOW TO PLAY MYSTERIUS MYSTERY PARTY GAMES?
Mysterius reinvents murder mystery parties for friends, colleagues, or family, allowing everyone to step into a character's shoes and experience a captivating adventure. Participants, while embodying a character, gather information and analyze clues to solve the crime, all accompanied by an ambiance video that ensures as much fun for the game master as for the guests. Who will be able to solve the mystery? Here's the procedure for a successful evening after your online purchase and receiving your game kit by email: The host reads the instructions and chooses a game version (Guilty on a Mission or Total Mystery) They then choose their own character from the available ones in the selected version and send the other character sheets to players, ideally at least 24 hours before the event
(Each character sheet includes info to reveal during the game and a costume suggestion. Some also include clues to print) Players bring their character sheet to the event, and some must also print and bring clues Once everyone is ready, the host starts the ambient video to launch the game Players split into small groups, sharing the information to be revealed from their character sheet A crime occurs. Everyone has a motive, but only one is guilty. Each player investigates using the clues and shared information. In some games, new information must be revealed after the crime. In the Guilty on a Mission version, the guilty player tries to mislead the group. The game ends when the video ends, or earlier if players have solved (or abandoned!) the investigation. The host then reads the culprit reveal text aloud.
RECEPTION: BETWEEN COCKTAIL DINNER AND SEATED DINNER
Our games are designed to be played standing, in a shared space. Encourage 2-4 player groups to chat and exchange information. A cocktail-style setup is ideal to foster dynamic interactions and help everyone get into character. The character sheets promote improvisation and natural responses, no rigid script to follow. If you prefer to play seated around a table, each player will take turns revealing their clues out loud. This will speed up clue analysis and mystery resolution, and the host will likely need to stop the video and end the game earlier.
DOES THE ORGANIZER KNOW IN ADVANCE WHO THE CULPRIT IS?
After your purchase, download the game, assign a character to each guest, and dive into the adventure! If the organizer avoids looking at the character sheets, they can also participate without knowing the culprit. The ambient video will guide the game's facilitation, with key events happening at specific moments.
CAN WE PLAY WITHOUT THE AMBIENT VIDEO?
The ambient video sets the tone and allows the host to join the game too. At the beginning, we recommend playing the video (link provided below in this document) on a big screen with sound, clearly visible to the players. The timer on screen will serve as a reference for the group and will guide certain players to act out mini-scenes at the right moment. After the crime, if players seem to have identified the culprit based on the clues and discussions, the host may choose to end the game earlier. Otherwise, the game continues until the timer runs out. The host then reads the reveal text aloud to announce the culprit.
CAN WE PLAY WITH FEWER PLAYERS THAN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM?
For an optimal experience, it is advisable to adhere to the recommended number of players (min-max) for the chosen game. However, for games where the wrongdoing is not a murder, you can assign up to two additional characters to one or two players at most, excluding the host character. These players should familiarize themselves with their characters in advance and decide which one to play first. The character switch can take place after the wrongdoing, as players will need to ensure they communicate all the post-wrongdoing information from the first character to all the other players before changing characters.
