About the game
What you do in a play session
Twenty years after graduation, the high school class reunites for a night full of memories... and a murder. René Keller, the overachiever who knew too much, was killed, and now everyone is a suspect. In Deadly Dinner, you and your friends take on the roles of former classmates with dark secrets. One of you is the killer, but everyone has something to hide. The game unfolds in three rounds, where new clues are revealed, and discussions get increasingly intense. Get ready to bluff, deduce, and maybe walk away unscathed. Pro tip: receive your character’s info in advance to get into the mystery mood. Perfect for party game lovers who enjoy a dash of drama and sleuthing.
