A Will to Murder
A Will to Murder is an interactive murder mystery party for 6-9 guests (plus one host) published by Freeform Games.
A Will to Murder is set in the 1930s in Albion House - a stately dwelling in the small English village of Highthorpe. Albion House belonged to Roy O'Leary – who was murdered yesterday afternoon.
Roy O'Leary was an elderly and wealthy man, and there are several family members who may benefit from his last will and testament. O'Leary's lawyer has asked the family to gather together at Albion House, the day after the murder, to hear the reading of the will. The police are also present – because the O'Leary family are the prime suspects in the murder case.
O'Leary must have had a premonition or warning of his dreadful end as the whole of Roy O'Leary's splendid fortune is left to whoever identifies his murderer!

A Will to Murder is an interactive murder mystery game - much like Freeform Games' other games such as A Dead Man's Chest and Curse of the Pharaoh. A Will to Murder also shares many of the same features - it has the item cards and the ability cards that those games have. (Item cards are used to represent all sorts of things - from an x-ray to a paintbrush. Ability cards, on the other hand, allow the characters to detect secrets find out information about other people.)
A Will to Murder has a number of different plots to keep everyone busy. As well as the murder there are plenty of family and personal secrets that need to be kept hidden!The cast of A Will to Murder consists of:
- Alan Trode – Gillian's husband, who owns a motorcycle sales and repair business
- Atkins – the O'Leary family's old retainer
- Corey O'Leary – Roy's youngest child, an amateur naturalist, who still lives at home
- Cornelius Khan – Regina's husband, an accountant
- Doctor Barker – the local physician and an old family friend
- Gillian Trode – Roy's oldest child, she is a professional sculptor
- Inspector Harris – the police detective investigating the murder
- Janis O'Leary – Roy O'Leary's widow, his second marriage – formerly a model and actress
- Regina Khan – Roy's middle child, a well-known writer of detective novels
A Will to Murder needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game. I really enjoy being the host - you know what's going on and can watch your friends scheme and plot and be devious to one another.
