ZOMBIES AT LARGE!
Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game for 6-10 players
It's the 1960's. A top secret genetic research facility run by the military has gone up in flames. Shambling zombie-like creatures have appeared, causing death, destruction and panic wherever they roam. Who or what are they? A group of survivors make a run for it, to the safety of a nearby offshore island but on the journey across, one of them is killed. It wasn't a zombie killing - this is murder.
One of the survivors must be the murderer. The army seems very keen to find the perpetrator - and even the zombies have lined up along the shoreside in a silent vigil...
This is an original murder mystery game supplied as ready to print Microsoft Word pdf files on a USB flash drive or CD. The engaging plot keeps players guessing 'whodunnit' right until the very end. Running time is 1½ - 2 hours.
The supplied files print:
Character script booklets for your guests, invitations, complete party setup instructions, name tags, a newspaper article, various evidence, a choice of murder confessions and extras to turn your venue into the crime investigation scene.
You will need access to a printer, 50+ sheets of printer paper, a stapler and maybe some sticky stuff (Pritt stick?) The printed game functions much the same as a boxed murder mystery.
The 6-10 characters:
| Tanya Hyde (F): | You are a project manager at the top secret Point Zero government research project. Can it really be your fault dozens of zombies have escaped from the facility? |
| Candy Barr (F): | You are working as a long distance van driver. Driving the roads of England with the wind in your hair, singing along to the Beatles ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ at the top of your voice.

| Jim Shorts (M): Killan Poppov M): | You are the manager of several pop groups. Don’t get me wrong, you are delighted one of your signings has a record performing well in the charts – but why did it have to be Rocky Rhodes? (sigh) A Russian émigré, you will should be grateful to the British for allowing you to enter their British Isles, and should be happy to have found productive work as a municipal road sweeper. Da? |
