4 Murder Mystery Games to Play at Your Next Party

Looking for fun and spooky murder mystery games to play with friends? Look no further than Jackbox Games! Here’s a list of some of our fan-favorite games for your next Murder Mystery party!

 

Fans of Murder Mystery games will love these fun options:

#1 - Trivia Murder Party

Find yourself at the mercy of the maniacal [REDACTED], a trivia-obsessed serial killer in the Trivia Murder Party series. Can you escape the party alive? Answer general knowledge trivia and be the last one left standing to take home the prize. Make sure you answer correctly though, or you could be facing The Killing Floor! Minigames range from trying to drink from a non-poisoned chalice, memorizing murder weapon patterns, and making the longest word you can from a block of ransom note letters, just to name a few. It all comes down to a mad dash to the exit as everyone answers rapid-fire trivia questions to be the first one out the door.

Trivia Murder Party is available in The Jackbox Party Pack 3.

 

#2 - Trivia Murder Party 2

Still on the run after the events of the first Trivia Murder Party, [REDACTED] has moved into the Murder Hotel where he grew up. In the past his family killed unsuspecting guests at their hotel, but now the Host is using the hotel to run his bizarre game show… where he kills unsuspecting guests.

Like the first Trivia Murder Party, players answer trivia questions and answering incorrectly will send you to the Killing Floor, to play mini-games that can kill. New mini-games include avoiding swords stabbed into a magician’s box, tattooing the killer’s back and most terrifying of all… using a rotary phone!

Get Trivia Murder Party along with 4 other games in The Jackbox Party Pack 6.

 

#3 - Trivia Murder Party 3

In this standalone entry in the Trivia Murder Party series, your favorite trivia-obsessed serial killer is heading to summer camp to put you through a sinister new set of minigames and murder.

Enjoy classic local multiplayer play by joining an in-person or remote game with friends using a four-letter Jackbox room code.

Make new friends by joining public games of Trivia Murder Party 3 through all-new online matchmaking.

Will you escape or become another ghost story told around the campfire?

Wishlist Trivia Murder Party 3 now, then play in early access in 2026 to be among the first brave souls to head into the wild.

 

#4 - Weapons Drawn

Weapons Drawn is a murder mystery game where everyone is a murderer and a detective. Maybe you’ll be the best murderer. Maybe you’ll be the best detective. Or possibly some combination of both. Hide your “calling card” in your drawing of the murder weapon, then try to deduce where your fellow players hid their calling cards in their weapons. 

Don’t worry if you mess up the first time around because everyone gets a second chance to draw more weapons and bring another Accomplice.

At the end it’s time for Cold Cases, a final speed round where every unsolved case is voted on and ultimately revealed.

Find Weapons Drawn in The Jackbox Party Pack 8!
