How to Play Murder In the Dark
The way you play the game is you pick one person to be the detective who will attempt to solve the murder. That person stays out of the room until the murder occurs.
The next step is to count how many people will be in the room playing the game. If there are 5 people then you need to get 5 blank pieces of paper. One of the pieces of paper gets an X. Fold up the papers and put in a cup. Now each person picks a piece of paper. Who ever gets the X is the murderer. He or she should keep this a secret. Now everyone goes in the dark room and walks around.
The murderer (person with X) then taps someone on the shoulder. This is the victim. The Victim screams and sits on the ground. At this time the detective is allowed in the room and turns on the lights.
The detective gets to ask each person 1 question. Each person must tell the truth, except for the murderer. They get to lie if they want to. The detective asks questions, like "Where were you when you heard the scream?" etc.
Once the detective gets all the information they get to solve the mystery. If they are right, then the murderer gets to be the detective for the next game. If they get it wrong they get another turn at being the detective.
