Welcome to the Rock’n’Roll Afterparty!

Can you unravel the web of lies before the final encore? Or will the killer riff their way to freedom while the crowd roars?

This game is perfect for a music-filled night with friends, a birthday bash, or any party that deserves an epic soundtrack, backstage drama, and a killer twist!

Read this out loud for the group when the game begins. This sets the scene and explains the game rules.

HOW THE GAME WORKS

The game is a Freeplay (mingle-style) murder mystery, which means each guest is assigned a unique character. You’ll send out a Character Guide to every player, filled with secrets, objectives, and relationships that drive the drama.

As the night unfolds, guests mingle in character, ask questions, share clues (or lies!), and try to solve the 3 unfolding murders that happen during the game. At the end, everyone casts their vote for who they think the killer is – right before the dramatic final reveal.

There are no strict scripts to follow and no complex rules, so even first-timers can jump right in!
As the host, you don’t need to memorize anything or stay behind the scenes. My easy-to-follow Host Guide walks you through everything step by step. And yes – you can absolutely play along without knowing who the killer is (or peek at the included spoilers if that’s your jam). The killer is a secret to everyone – even the killer themselves – for a truly immersive, spoiler-free experience.
