A true crime podcast is taping its hundredth episode live, inside the theater where the case that made it famous began. The host has promised the reveal his listeners have waited fifteen years for. The show scripts a full minute of darkness for the moment. The lights come back and he's dead at the podium, and nobody has left the building. That's THE HUNDREDTH EPISODE, a printable murder mystery party game for 8 to 20 people. It runs about three hours. Everyone gets their own character guide with a history, secrets, and three objectives pointed at other people in the room. Eight characters are required, so it works at eight and gets better as you add the rest. The thing that makes it different: four sealed versions ship in the same file, and a different person did it in each one. Whoever hosts has someone else pick a number from one to four, prints only that version, and never learns which killer they printed. So the host plays a character too and finds out at the reveal with everybody else. Same cast, same night, three more answers still sitting in the file. It also actually solves. The evidence is real documents with timestamps that line up: a stage mic log, a door-count reconciliation, board automation logs, fiber and tread cards, a phone log. Two clues convict, and the sealed solution is written as a script that walks the whole minute back second by second, including where the people you wrongly suspected really were. What you get is five files, instant download. A host guide, the evidence pack, character guides laid out for print, the same twenty guides as separate PDFs so you can text each player only their own, and the sealed host materials. Print at home; one-sided, black and white is fine. $24.99 on Etsy: https://coldledgergames.etsy.com/listing/4556917791 There's also a $6.99 cold case file for one or two players, set in the same theater fifteen years earlier. It's the case the podcast made famous, and neither game spoils the other's answer: https://coldledgergames.etsy.com/listing/4547558474 Happy to answer anything about hosting, or about how the four versions work.   submitted by   /u/BTWigley   to   r/MurderMystery [link]   [comments]
