How do I create my first mystery?

You can create a mystery or select from a list of mysteries on the game setup page.

Will there be any collaborative features?

We're exploring ways to let multiple users collaborate on a single mystery, i.e. giving you the ability to generate a unique link or lobby code so friends can access your mystery. Once they have the link, they can join the game from their own device. Stay tuned for updates.

Is the content suitable for all ages?

Our app is designed for a wide age range. However, user-generated mysteries can vary in content. We include a recommended age range for each mystery so you can choose stories appropriate for your group.

How are user-created mysteries moderated or curated?

We encourage creativity, but we also monitor the platform for inappropriate or offensive content. Our moderation guidelines aim to keep the community fun and welcoming for everyone.

What if I run into technical issues or bugs?

If you encounter any glitches, please visit our feedback page or email us directly at jesse@murdermyster.gg. We will do our best to resolve issues quickly.

Can I provide feedback or request new features?

Absolutely! We value your suggestions. Head over to our feedback page or reach out on social media to propose new features or improvements.

Will there be a mobile app or is it only available on web?

Currently, our game runs in the browser (mobile- and desktop-friendly). We plan to release a native iOS in the future for more seamless play.

Why is there a paid option?

You don't have to pay if you just want to create private murder mysteries on your own device with your friends and family. However, if you’d like to access and play AI geneated scenarios (coming soon), user-created mysteries, and gain the ability to publish your own stories for the community—you can opt for a monthly subscription (cancel anytime).

What's the tech stack behind this app?

This app is currently built using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and vanilla Javascript.

Can I save my profile and mystery progress?

Not in the current version of the app. It only syncs to the current device you are on. In the full release, you'll be able to save your profile and mystery progress.
