Campers and residents of Little Woods are gathered for the annual S'mores Festival in Little Woods National Park. Some visitors are uneasy, however, as rumors of bear attacks mar the celebration. Several townsfolk seem to have other ideas: are these incidents due to an animal or a monster of a different kind?

Grab a marshmallow stick and gather ‘round the campfire. Will the evening be a quiet night or one of grisly terror?

Content warning: This mystery game is the PG-13 version that includes a murder and suggestions of adultery.

Game Details

This Murder Mystery party game is a printable PDF digital download for 8-15 players, including the host. The kit includes a mystery master (host) guide, instructions, 10 character cards, and four custom clues. The game is designed to be played in four rounds: Introduction, Investigation, and Interrogation, with a Final Accusation. Rules are streamlined and straightforward; no tedious advance preparation for players is required. Instructions are set up so that the host can play along without knowing who the Victim or Perpetrator is until the end if desired. Characters can be any gender and players can create whatever name suits them or use suggestions provided on their card.

This game is best played outdoors around a campfire, but can work for any event including birthdays, work events, game nights, or casual hangouts! Our games are created for small groups so that no elaborate set-up is required. Players are given character suggestions and objectives to complete instead of scripts. This game suits groups who are willing to role-play and looking for a story that requires evidence to be uncovered to solve the mystery!

We had a blast!

My friends and I were having a cookout at the park and last minute I suggested we play this murder mystery game. I was worried it would be too complicated to play impromptu, but it was really straightforward and easy for everyone to understand. Once everyone read their character sheet, they were super excited to play. Even the more reserved guests got into character and had a blast! I love that you don't need a huge group of people to play and it's so much fun to do outside to really get into the story!!
