There's been a murder in a 1930s English manor, and everyone's a suspect—but no one can talk about it! In 'There's Been A Murder,' players must work together to solve the mystery, with a twist: you can't discuss the cards in your hand or those you've seen. Each card has a unique power to aid or hinder the investigation. On your turn, you play a card and follow its instructions, trying to uncover who holds the key cards. If the Detective identifies the Murderer, everyone wins! But beware: if the Murderer kills the Witness or the deck runs out, the game is lost. With just 24 cards and quick 5-15 minute rounds, it's perfect for a light and suspenseful game night.
