Let's Party Games

The killer game

Who's the killer?

One of the guests is the killer. All evening.

Guests around a party table at night — one whispers slyly in another's ear while the rest laugh

When guests scan in, one of them secretly becomes the killer. The killer gets a victim and a sneaky task on their phone — get Lise to say “cheese”, get Morten onto the dance floor. Everyone else gets a secret mission of exactly the same kind, so the whole table is asking odd things — and the killer hides among them.

When it works, the killer whispers “you're dead”, and the victim reports their own death on their phone. A few minutes later the big screen says “Lise has been found dead” — but not how. Think you know who it is? Accuse — but if you're wrong, you die. Only at the very end is it revealed how everyone died.

Guests can snap a selfie when they scan in, if they like. When they die, they get their very own tombstone on the big screen with their photo on it. Switch on family-friendly tasks and there's no alcohol and no touching beyond a high five — so it works at confirmations and family parties too.

How it works

01

The killer is drawn

Everyone scans the QR code — and can snap a selfie for their own tombstone. The system secretly picks one killer (two above 15 guests) and hands out a victim and a task. Everyone else gets a secret mission that looks exactly the same.

The evening's hunt

The killer gets the victim to do it and whispers “you're dead”. The victim taps “I'm dead”, and a few minutes later the big screen posts the death notice — with no cause of death. Meanwhile the innocent pull off their own missions for points.

Accuse or die

Every living guest can accuse once. Right = the killer is caught. Wrong = you die. At the end the big screen reveals everything — who the killer was, and how everyone died.

How many can play?

The Killer is played with 6–40 guests — everyone on their own phone, no app. Above 15 guests there are two killers.

Paranoia all evening

Everyone has a secret mission, so everyone asks a bit too keenly about your last holiday. But which of them is the killer? The game runs alongside the party, not instead of it.

A tombstone with your selfie

If guests snap a selfie when they scan in, they get their very own tombstone with their photo on the big screen the moment they die. Optional — the game works just as well without.

6–40 guests

Two killers at big parties. Switch on family-friendly tasks and it works for confirmations too.

The grand reveal

The killer is unmasked, every death is shown in order with its cause, and the night's best detective and best spy are crowned.

Frequently asked questions

Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests scan a QR code and play straight in their mobile browser — no app, no login.
How many can play?
The Killer is played with 6–40 guests — everyone on their own phone, no app. Above 15 guests there are two killers.
What does it cost?
$15.99 — one-time, per game.
What if someone cheats and says they aren't dead?
The Killer runs on honour. The host reminds everyone of the rule: if the killer whispers “you're dead”, you're dead — no arguing. Only the killer's real victim can report a death, so nobody gets “murdered” by accident. And if someone taps by mistake, the host can undo it.
Can kids join in?
Yes. Switch on family-friendly tasks before you start and there's no alcohol and no touching beyond a high five. Then The Killer works at confirmations and family parties too — it's about getting Lise to say “cheese”, not about hurting anyone.
How can you tell who the killer is?
That's the whole trick. Every guest has a secret mission of the same kind as the killer's — “get Frank to say a number over a hundred” — so everyone acts a little suspicious. The death notice only comes a few minutes after the death and just says “Frank has been found dead”, so you can't simply see who was standing next to him. Keep your eyes open, put two and two together — and accuse when you're sure. Only at the end is it revealed how everyone died.
How many killers are there?
One. Above 15 guests there are two, so there's still something going on at big parties.
Do we need to prepare anything?
No. Create the party and scan the QR code — the system draws the killer, the victims and the tasks for you. No app and nothing to print.
