What makes a good murder mystery game for adults?
A good crime game for adults should be challenging without being overwhelming. What matters most is a believable story, plausible motives, and clues that can be logically connected. Players work together to develop theories, test suspicions, and move step by step closer to the truth.
That’s why at MAGNIFICUM, realistic characters, layered secrets, and a shared investigative experience take center stage. Everyone works as part of the same team, focusing on analysis, discussion, and deduction rather than acting or role-playing clichés.
