Why we like it

"'Murder Is A Game' transforms a game night into a deadly affair, where every player has something to hide."

From: Mystery and Thriller Scripts

Synopsis

Laughter, suspense, intriguing characters, sparkling dialogue, plot twists, and irresistible mystery are all here.

A successful, married mystery-writing team has dried up, so their publisher gives them an anniversary present - a weekend in an old mansion built for a movie set.

He peoples it with hired characters, unknown to each other, to act out a murder plot.

The couple, Sloan and Toby Bigelow, delight in the game and solve the fake murder, but then there is a real murder with further hilarious plot twists.

The actors all have delightful opportunities to act as imaginary people and then themselves during this sophisticated, laugh-filled mystery evening.
