The Karma Club
The Karma Club is an interactive murder mystery party for 10 to 14 guests (plus one host) published by Freeform Games.
The Karma Club is set in the lodge of the Karma Club commune in Wells River, New Hampshire. The commune has been hosting a sending-off party for their guests, rock band Marmalade Skies. However, the evening has taken a turn for the worse and Marvin Stank, the band's manager, has been murdered.

The Karma Club is an interactive murder mystery game - much like Freeform Games' other games A Dead Man's Chest and Death on the Gambia.
The Karma Club also shares many of the same features - it has the item cards and abilities that those games have. (Item cards are used to represent all sorts of things - from a mysterious bone idol to handcuffs or a codebook. Abilities, on the other hand, provide rules for things like pickpocketing and detecting secrets.)
The Karma Club has a number of different plots to keep everyone busy. For example, there's the future of the commune to agree, the mysterious Bonnie & Clyde bankrobbers, the mystery over Marmalade Skies' missing master tapes. Plus, of course, there's a murder to solve...
The cast of The Karma Club includes:
- Marmalade Skies
- Suzy Dickerson: Lead vocals and Marmalade Skies’ songwriter.
- Lee Melvick: Lead guitar, the party-boy of the band.
- Judy Stank: Bass, and Marvin Stank’s widow.
- Axel Maddox: Drummer, and prankster of the band.
- Bobby Stank: Head roadie, Marvin Stank’s brother.
- The Karma Club
- Abbot “Abbie” Rosen: Founder and leader of the commune.
- Pony Noonan: Long-time member of the commune and something of a rebel.
- Guinevere Stone: Commune member and mother of 18-month-old Sunshine.
- Flower Mason: Commune member.
- Snow Diamond: Commune member.
- Moonbeam Baxter: Recent commune member.
- Visitors and Townspeople
- Sam Spears: Executive with Groovytunes Records.
- Jackie Nichols: Local folk singer, opening act for Marmalade Skies.
- Sandy McVee: Wells River citizen, avid Marmalade Skies fan, owner and sole employee of “Sandy’s Memorabilia & Collectibles”.
The Karma Club needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game. They play Deputy Kozlowski, who is here to ensure that no one leaves the premises during the preliminary phase of the murder investigation. 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.
