  • A family game night favorite!
Nearly every time we get together, our family plays There's Been a Murder. We have such a fun time trying to communicate without giving anything away LOL. We actually loved this game so much that I bought two extra sets (Hint to the creators to make expansion packs!!!) and tripled the game by having to catch THREE murders. We even started creating our own version. It's a super fun game that can easily be manipulated to make it easier or harder. I will say it took us two or three games to really get the hang of it. It's kind of complex in its simplicity. Just do your best and have fun and it will eventually click and become a really fun game. ... show more

  • Fun game!
Fun game for a group of friends. Challenging and intriguing.

  • Funny, BUT
I'm pretty sure we beat the odds in every possible way. We shuffled and cut the deck, placed the murderer and detective cards as directed...and 3 - THREE - times *in a row* had the murderer and informant cards show up together in someone's hand (meaning we won the game by dealing it, no playing). We had two people shuffle, another cut, placed the two cards carefully and dealt as randomly as a person can while one smart aleck says "maybe we will end up losing with the Murderer and Witness cards in someone's hand as it's dealt next"...guess what happened? Yeah, the murderer and witness cards were in someone's hand on the deal. We were playing with a group of 7 people. It's like Solitaire when you shuffle it, deal it, and end up with no moves only to deal it again. I am positive we broke some kind record...at least we laughed - albeit at the outlandish odds of it all. We have played 8 times in total, I'm just stumped at the odds of it happening at all, let alone in a row. The instructions don't say what to do if the murderer and detective cards end up in the same hand (we had this happen once). Play the Detective and make yourself discard the Murderer card, but it might have been good to mention it in the rules. Also the Imposter (I think it was the imposter card, sorry this one I'm fuzzy on) and Murderer cards, the person wasn't sure what to do - couldn't play either card nor pass anything since neither card said gave passing as an option. The "read the card and do what it says" idea is good, but there are some oddball circumstances that require more fleshing out in the instructions. ... show more

  • Played it once for game night, but haven't since.
Our house played it once. I think their needs to be a bit more to it. Its kind of basic and we have not opted to play it again sadly. I was really excited because I am trying to find more collaborative games for our household to play.

  • A little confusing but rather amusing
I love how this is a collab game. And there are times where we had many questions about how certain cards function in turn and out of turn and if effect cards could be played and tossed into the discard pile or if certain cards exist indefinitely like the Gossip. Over all this is a fast game about 1-15 minutes. Sometimes less than a minute because some cards just fit together very well at try begin and make you lose or win. Have fun! ... show more

  • Very Fun Game
This game has been a great time. The players work together but need to be quiet, unless they get the gossip, in which case they can talk all they want! Cards are oddly sized but shuffle well. One negative is you can deal and lose (or win) immediately. Overall, with the groups I've played with, we have a very high winning ratio, so it works well. The one other disadvantage is it requires a lot of reading of the various cards, and some memory of what you have done would help. My 82 year old mom didn't understand the game, but I've played with others down to 16 and they've loved it. Overall, highly recommended. Good eyes are a plus! ... show more
