Step into Murder Noir, a self contained Murder Mystery Party Case File from University Games. In this scenario, players work together or solo to solve a murder using a case file and a blend of tangible and online evidence. On the set of a new film, director Sven Larsgaard, famed for his pranks, is found with a fatal wound. Was it a prank gone wrong or a real murder? Players step into the detective role, examining suspect statements, crime scene photos, newspaper clippings, and other primary materials to weigh motive, means, and opportunity.

If you crave cold case vibes and immersive investigations, Murder Noir offers a hands on experience that stays engaging from start to finish.
