Murder mystery games are generally party games wherein one of the partygoers is secretly playing a murderer, and the other attendees must determine who among them is the criminal.
The Village Murder Mystery, for example, requires no setup beyond a way to randomly select the roles; however, if a party is to be built entirely around the mystery, a more elaborate setup is common.
If the organizer of the mystery is up to the challenge, they can select roles and characters based on their knowledge of the guests; however, commercial products are available to provide the setting and roles.
