Present Danger Murder Mystery – 8 Player
4.2
A timely twist – ‘Present Danger’ for 8 players.
It’s meant to be the celebration of the decade, but instead of raising a glass, you’re pointing fingers.
Designed for a group of eight, No Time Like the Present is a personalised, character-driven murder mystery game where secrets from the past collide with plans for the future… with fatal consequences.
Whether you're hosting an in-person party or gathering your friends online for a virtual night of intrigue, this game is built for easy hosting and unforgettable moments.
You create the setting, the characters, and the details, then prepare for lies, revelations, and one shocking killer reveal.
What’s the story?
The whole community has gathered to celebrate an ambitious new project, a launch that promises to bring jobs, innovation, and a brighter future.
But just as the speeches end and the celebrations begin, tragedy strikes. A leading figure is found dead and the dream of a new future crumbles into chaos.
The future’s bright… until someone turns up dead.
Each of you had something riding on this project. Each of you had a connection to the victim. And each of you has a secret you’d rather keep hidden.
As the night unfolds, old grudges, hidden scandals, and buried truths come to light. Will you expose the murderer before time runs out?
