About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an evening of suspense and mystery with Crime & Dine: Tatort, a murder mystery dinner experience inspired by the popular German crime series! Invite your friends for an event where fun blends with crime investigation. The premise is intriguing: a special police unit, comprised of members from various regions of Germany, gathers to solve a high-profile case. However, what seemed like a work meeting takes an unexpected turn when the lead officer reveals that he is, in fact, investigating everyone present – and then he himself becomes the fatal victim. Now, it's up to you, the prime suspects, to unravel this web of lies, corruption, and guilt that involves the police apparatus itself. You will assume complex character roles, each with their own secrets and motives, and will need to collaborate (or not!) to discover who committed the murder. The game promises total immersion, with the possibility of 'help' from famous Tatort detectives, like Boerne & Thiel or Ballauf & Schenk, to inspire your deductions. Does your group have the creativity and reasoning to bring the truth to light and catch the culprit, or will they get away scot-free? The kit comes complete with everything needed for an unforgettable party for 5 to 8 people, including recipe suggestions, costume ideas, decoration tips, and even a soundtrack to create the perfect atmosphere. It's the ideal choice for a fun and 'murderous' gathering with friends or a super original birthday gift!
