Crime Writers

Crime Writers is a unique crime game that - besides providing the exciting atmosphere of solving a murder - also challenges the writing skills of the players.
The original black and white photos evoke the mood of classical crime fiction as well as the visuality of suspense and film noir movies.
The crime element cards are really inspirational without exercising too much influence on the storytelling process.
It is a card-based cooperative creative party game with semi-competitive elements.
It contains 86 cards that represent the five basic elements of a crime story in four stacks of cards: crime scene, killer/victim, motive, cause of death.
The game has two stages. The first is the writing stage, where everyone writes a story of a crime using the elements from the cards they have drawn.
In the second stage, the player who's turn it is becomes the writer and the others become guests.
The guests try to reveal the crime story by asking and guessing and try to figure out the whole story, observing the rules of asking.
The guests must continue until they can make all the connections and tell the whole story.
The game only comes to an end once the story of every player has been found out.

An exciting card game for any party of teenagers and adults.

Playing Time: 15-20 min./player
