Do you have games for children?
Please understand the games are written for adults, let's face it the subject is murder and deceit. Our experience shows that children under the age of 14 do not understand the finer points of a murder mystery game and therefore would not have fun.
How many players ?
The best approach is to decide how many players you want to invite 'before' deciding on a game. Each game has been designed for a specific "number" of characters, although some games allow for extra players, provided they are included from the start.
