Murder

About Murder

Murder is a tense timing game set in a royal palace. The king walks along the red carpet, admiring the knight statues on the walls and trusting the people behind him. He should not. You are waiting for the right moment to take the throne.

How to play

Creep up behind the king while he is distracted. If he turns around and sees you, you are caught. Hold your nerve, and strike only when he is not looking. Succeed, and you become the new king. But a new king has new enemies, and now someone is sneaking up behind you. When you sense the assassin close, turn around and catch them before they reach you.

Tips

• Patience beats speed. Wait for the king to look away fully.
• As king, glance back often but not constantly.
• The theme is cartoonish but dark, so it suits older kids.
