The list of games

Death in them thar hills - A Western set in 1880, for over 100 players.

But I want to host a different murder mystery party game!

If you want to play a different game with more than 40 people, then you can add extra characters to other games.

I've explained how to add additional characters to your murder mystery games here.

What can I do if I have more than 200 guests?

I suggest that if you really do have more than 200 players coming to your murder mystery game, you probably need a professional party organiser.

Failing that - how about holding the same event twice?
