Themes

Life is like a box of chocolates and so is death - it's very hard to choose the murder mystery theme you want to play. They are so tempting ...

Make sure you read the descriptions of each one before deciding. Don't worry if you have non-SA friends playing. We have a glossary for the strange terms we might use. But they'll get the jist because murder is murder - in most cases the trick is to use your gut instinct. If you are not sure which one to choose - drop us an email and we can help you decide. 

 

Murder Under The Mistletoe

 

The perfect festive setting for someone to commit murder. Once a year the family comes together to eat drink and be merry ... or die! Was it the black sheep of the family who has just come out of rehab, the domineering matriarch who drives everyone nuts or Uncle Fred who plays practical jokes?  Let's just say someone won't be opening their presents this year!

Death in The Dorpie

 

A small rural town is shocked when the local hairdresser is murdered. Everyone knew him and he was a real character. Was it dagga growing local rugby hero or the gossipy old tannie who knew something more than a marmalade recipe? It could even be the newly elected dodgy mayor who has a bad record. Tick tock who is the guilty person ....

 

Killing in the Curry Palace

 

A glitzy new Indian restaurant opens in Durban and the celebs are two a penny. It is a very smart event and you have to be seen there, but all is not what it seems when one of the guests kicks the bucket. The restaurant owner is deeply in debt, the so-called Bollywood starlet is on drugs and the Rickshaw driver who was supposed to be on security saw nothing ... Hmmm.

Execution on The Estate 

 

An exclusive gated security estate is shocked when one of their residents is found murdered. How could this happen? The resident are freaked out - all demanding to find out the truth ... but it could be way out of their comfort zone. Has the loopy landscaper become unhinged, or was it the gorgeous gynaecologist who has the ladies swooning or maybe it was be the security guard who is an undercover politician?

 

Killing in The Consulate

 

Set in the South African embassy in London twelve total strangers become embroiled in a political drama when the Swazi ambassador is found strangled. These hapless tourists are caught in the middle of the crime investigation but perhaps they are not so innocent. The gay drag queen is losing the plot, the neurotic mother is on the brink of a meltdown and the boer on a quest to find love through the internet is thinking this is a big mistake. The cultural weapon might be in their suitcases! The clue in their passports!

 

COST:

UK £50  per game for ex-pats 

R500 per game for SA locals ( you guys get a discount because you'll have to use torches in the dark and fill the generators).

Please note - because the SA Post Office does not understand the concept of mail - we can email the game, but this means you will have to print some of the elements.

Price will remain the same until December 2025 

Available December 2024
