What Makes Murdered by Midnight Stand Out
The Murdered by Midnight board game can now be enjoyed anywhere on the go. Either play with friends or family around the world. Be the first to deduce the murderer, murder weapon, motive and time of death to solve the murder and win the game!
The story takes place in the 1920’s in a fabulous Art Deco mansion, Briarwood Manor. The owners have gathered six world famous detectives and several of their friends and family to throw a “murder party”, where they’ll stage a mock murder for the detectives to solve as entertainment… as was all the rage in the 20’s.
Unfortunately, things get all too real when someone commits an actual murder before the party gets started. Can you follow the clues and bring the guilty to justice before time runs out?

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
First off, this is a wonderful game and very well implemented. If you like Clue, youll like this. The app runs smoothly and the interface is pretty easy to use. As a bonus, one purchase opens the game on all devices, including Apple TV and Mac! Also, the Apple TV app doesnt require a controller. We have one, but sometimes its just easier to keep playing with the remote you use for the TV. Now there are some minor issues that Im sure can be worked out. First, the text is microscopic. Not just on the phone, it is difficult on a 55 TV, and even on a 13 MacBook Pro. Once you get to know the characters, however, you dont need to read as much. Secondly, the touch zones are a little off. It took us many tries to open our notebook rather than the map. Finally, the narration sounds like a 10 year old speech to text program with an Australian accent. Its actually kinda funny and you can turn it off if you hate it. Overall, it is still well worth the purchase price.
