Setting the Scene

Football Murder Mystery Party

After making the playoffs but finishing just short of a Super Bowl birth, the Pitbulls are ready to
celebrate the highlights of their season!

As the team’s players, coaches, and league comrades gather for a season ending party, there is no shortage of scandal.
From debating who is to blame for the season ending interception, to the talk of player trades and speculation about the star quarterback returning or retiring this year — there is no topic off the table.

What the guests don’t realize is — not only is the future of the team at stake, but so is the future of one of the guests! Someone will perish in a fatal party penalty!

Will it be the social media-savvy wide receiver — who has sent his last tweet? 
The rookie quarterback who will never get a chance to shine?
The offensive coordinator who has made one too many bad play calls?
Or possibly the ever-calculating coach whose moves
in free agency may cost him his life?

As the clock winds down on the evening, a culprit will try to sneak in one final play to avoid being caught in this football murder mystery game. With a fourth down and one final clue to uncover, it is up to the party guests to catch a murderer before he goes free!

This will depend on (a) the version of party you order and (b) what you/they want to do at the party.

Some murder mystery party game rules say (generally the smaller 6-8 guest and 8-12 guest versions) have the victim rise and become the investigator after their “death.”

Since the victim does not know who murdered them, they can still play along and try to guess the murderer using their previous background knowledge and their money in order to bribe and blackmail others and derive their secrets from one another.

If you have a larger version, and you have not assigned the investigator (they are generally listed as the first person to eliminate for this reason), then the victim will need to become the investigator.

If you have assigned the investigator, but have an extra role that is not already filled, the victim can become this person (if you order the 20-80 player version, this will always be an option).

If the victim wishes to do nothing, they can do that as well. Some guests really enjoy playing along “dead” and trying to figure out who killed them.
