Printer access is the question most hosts answer last, and it decides more than they expect. Every MortalCase Murder Mystery Game is a digital download for 8–20 players, so the kit is yours on the same day and you choose what becomes paper. Read this and you'll know which pages are worth printing, which can stay on a screen, and how to judge a boxed game honestly before you place an order.
You can sort and release every piece of evidence while staying as much in the dark as your guests. The whole sort runs on one question, which event releases this, so you never have to ask what a clue proves. Give the released clues one public table, keep the protected documents closed, and know what to do when the room walks past something important. You finish with a setup that protects the Reveal and lets you investigate alongside your guests.
Preparing your first MortalCase murder mystery takes an evening, not a fortnight, once you do things in the right order. Read the Host Guide once. Put the 2 spoiler documents in a folder you don't open. Cast the 8 required roles, send each guest their own private guide, print the evidence and skip printing most of the rest. Then plan the first 10 minutes, which is the part that decides how the night feels.
Work down one list and your MortalCase party stops turning into a scramble the day before. You'll know what to settle before you pick a date, which 8 roles have to be cast first, how early the private guides need to go out, and what deserves paper instead of a screen. The small jobs get done while they're still small, and the last day stays free.
Opening a MortalCase game for the first time can make a perfectly capable host wonder whether she has accidentally volunteered to run a small theater company. The folder contains a lot because the host, the guests, and the final Reveal don't all need the same information. The actual job is much smaller: understand the Host Guide, cast your guests, send their private files, then choose and organize the materials that suit your party. The timeline keeps the evening moving. Nothing needs to be memorized.
Printing is the part you'll be tempted to leave until the night before, and it's the part that decides whether game night starts on time. This guide gets you through it with the least paper and the fewest surprises: what to check on screen first, how to spot a duplex problem before it costs you 40 sheets, which pages deserve better paper, and how to keep a MortalCase Reveal sealed while you sort everything else.
Hosting a MortalCase party outdoors takes more planning than hosting inside, and most of it is unglamorous. This guide covers the parts that decide whether the evening holds together: where the group can stand and still hear each other, how printed material survives an evening outside, what to light and in what order, and the point at which you call it and move everyone in. Work through it once and the night stops depending on the forecast.
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.
