Velvet Lantern 1920s Murder Mystery

How To Throw a 1920s Murder Mystery Party Without Writing a Single Clue Yourself

You want a night people actually put their phones down for, not another evening of chips and small talk. But writing the roles, the clues and the twist yourself? Nobody has that kind of time.

• What you get
• A party murder-mystery game set in the Velvet Lantern, a fictional 1920s speakeasy, for 6 to 8 players. The host counts as a player.
• About two hours of play, plus prep.
• 8 private role packs, 3 pages each (6 essential, 2 optional).
• 7-page spoiler-safe host guide.
• 6 pages of shared evidence with 12 exhibits, released over 3 rounds.
• Accusation, note and award forms, plus a separate 6-page solution you keep sealed until the end.
• All essential evidence works with 6 players. Print about 43 pages for 6 players, 47 for 7, 51 for 8.
• Works offline. No QR code or video. The host can show shared evidence on a screen instead of printing.
• 1 ZIP: 12 PDFs (46 pages) + START HERE file.

Straight talk: this version has not been through a live group playtest. It's for players 16 and over (fictional murder, blackmail, debt and prohibition-era drinking, nothing graphic). PDFs only, not editable.
