A MortalCase party has a fixed game sitting inside a flexible evening, and most of the timing trouble happens in the flexible part. A long meal, a late arrival, a group still arguing after the vote. This guide gives you a start time you can put on the invitation, a way to read the room at the halfway point, and an ending that arrives while people are still sharp enough to argue about it.
Cast by personality and the story can land on the guest least likely to turn up. Reliability decides who carries the 8 required Primary Characters; comfort decides the rest. Here's the casting method that survives a cancellation 2 days before the party, keeps a quiet guest from being demoted to an optional role, and stops private character material from landing in a shared folder. It ends with the record you keep so the swap you make on Friday still works on Saturday.
In a MortalCase game the killer votes with everybody else, because that guest doesn't know either. Endings still go wrong in small ways: a card filled in after a persuasive speech, a Reveal opened early to check a name, an award that lands as a joke at somebody's expense. You'll get the words to say and the moment to say them, so your friends leave the table with a shared answer instead of a shrug.
The purchase of a MortalCase murder mystery game or prop grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use the game for personal, non-commercial purposes. Any other use of the game or prop, including but not limited to public performance, commercial use, or distribution, is strictly prohibited.
