Murder mystery in the Scottish highlands

by Isaac
(Edinburgh)

Hi there, my mate and I are doing a joint birthday murder mystery night up in the Scottish highlands.

We're thinking of getting 25 people there. The setting is an old hunting lodge in the highlands. So a murder mystery of some Scottish theme / castles would be cool to explore.

The group is aged 25-30 and everyone enjoys role play and fun and games.

Happy for the night to last 3-4 hours, during that time we will have a sit down dinner all together in 2 long tables.

Have you got any reccomendations?

My response:

I can't think of anything with a specific Scottish or castle theme, but given the number of players you have, I suggest you look at these games and see if there's something you like the look of.

As you are roleplayers, I do suggest you look at the games by Freeform Games as they are really larps but with a murder mystery theme!
