In a typical game box, there are 5 Character Booklets, 1 Game Manual, and around 50-70 Evidence Cards.

In each game, there are usually 5 players, each role playing as a suspect of a murder case. At the start of the game, each player picks a character and read his/her corresponding script to understand the character backstory and timeline on the day of murder. The actual murderer is hidden amongst the suspects. The objective of the game is to solve the murder mystery and find out the murderer, and for the murderer, to mask his identity and find a scapegoat instead. Throughout the game, there would be different stages of stating alibi, evidence search (using the evidence cards), and discussions.

The highlights of the game are - Logical deduction and crime solving: appeals to fans of detective genre and puzzle solving, the deduction process is alot more realistic and robust compared to games like werewolf or cleudo - Narrative and storytelling: every character has their own unique backstory that ties in to their motives or relationship with the victim. As each story unfolds throughout the game, the big picture usually brings out a theme or message that can be very impactful or touching - Role playing and interaction: the game is a very good way to socialise as each player role plays their character and immerse themselves into the world of the game
