Write and Host Your Own Murder Mystery Game

In this course learners write a complete murder mystery party game that friends or family can actually play. They choose a setting, create a cast of suspects with secrets and alibis, write character booklets and build a clue trail that leads to a surprising but fair culprit.

Short, focused classes give time to write and share each week, with feedback from the teacher on plot logic and character voice. By the end learners have a printable game kit and practical hosting tips for running their own mystery night.

How classes work

Each week starts with a short live demo of the new idea, followed by guided practice while the teacher checks in with every learner. Classes end with a small challenge to try before next time.

What we'll cover

• Week 1: Setting and Crime – Choose a setting and decide what happened.

• Week 2: Suspect Profiles – Write character booklets with secrets and alibis.

• Week 3: Clue Trail – Plant clues and red herrings across rounds.

• Week 4: Game Kit and Hosting – Assemble the kit and practise hosting the game.

No experience needed. Learners need a device with a camera and microphone for live classes.
