Writer wanted for murder mystery game | $350

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: ANCIENT TEST

I need an engaging murder mystery experience/game script where players work together as detectives to solve a fictional crime. It will be based on a specific theme, this will be discussed in greater detail with the chosen writer.

Please note this is not a role play game but a game that can be played at home like a puzzle or board game.

Must be an intriguing plot involving several suspects and clues woven throughout so players can piece together and figure out the culprit by process of elimination/deduction.

The script will require balance of logical clues, well hidden clues and creative red herrings that will challenge cognitive skills whilst also being entertaining.

The script will require interactive elements and clues like diary entries, encrypted notes, reports, newspaper clippings, autopsy, witness statements, police evidence, alibi evidence, CCTV images etc.

Will require written hints for when/if players get stuck and a clever solution reveal that will explain the killers motive. E.g., newspaper report, final police report.

Focus will be on the puzzle-solving process rather than graphic depictions of violence.

The script/scenes/characters must be based in the UK.
