## What is Murder Mystery?

Lights out. Someone in this house is a killer.

Murder Mystery: Lights Out brings the living-room party game to your iPhone. Gather at least three players in the same house, choose the rooms and harmless props, and let the app deal everyone's secret card. Four or more players is best.

EVERY CARD LOOKS LIKE A PLAN
Everyone draws a target, a room and a weapon. Only one player is the murderer; everyone else's card is a decoy. Hold to read your card and let go to hide it.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
Host an online game and invite friends with a four-character code. Each player uses their own phone, and the app keeps the round in sync. Or choose pass & play: set up the guests on one phone and pass it around for a completely offline game.

FROM LIGHTS OUT TO THE FINAL ACCUSATION
The murderer gets their target alone in the right room with the assigned prop. The victim keeps wandering quietly for a minute, then announces their death. Lights on: compare stories, vote for a suspect and discover whether you caught the killer.

MADE FOR YOUR HOUSE
Edit the rooms and props, choose your discussion time, and deal another round when the verdict is in. Online players can reconnect to their saved seat; offline games are saved on the device.

No account required. This is an in-person party game, not a solo story or remote matchmaking game. Keep paths clear, use soft props and agree safe boundaries before turning the lights down.
