Voice Chat Co-Investigation
Play solo murder mystery games as a group over Discord or Zoom: roles, note-taking, and shared theory without spoiling boxed scripts.
June 8, 2026
Roles Without Secret Pages
Assign interviewer, cartographer, timeline scribe, and skeptic. Only the interviewer types — others prevent tunnel vision. No one reads a hidden killer sheet because the game keeps secrets server-side.
Shared Theory Board
Use a voice side-channel plus a shared doc for names and times. Pause after Organize Clues to read aloud — audio catches contradictions eyes miss.
Pacing for Groups
Ninety-minute voice session: openings and two search rounds. Save accusation drafting for async doc edit. Works for remote friend groups who miss live dinners.
When Solo Still Wins
Co-investigation adds comedy and accountability; solo adds focus. Alternate modes across the same case for two different scores and stories to compare.
