Arsenic & Lies

• Description

  It is 31 December 1919 and the party at Weatherby Manor is in full swing. The guests exchange furtive whispers of intrigue, blackmail and forbidden love. At midnight, a glass of poisoned champagne shatters, dropped from a dying hand. The family has to find €œ or frame €œ the killer before the police start looking too closely into their secrets. About the game Arsenic & Lies is a  3 hour larp  for 5-10 players  inspired by  Downton Abbey  and Agatha Christie novels. Rather than being a classical whodunnit, it focuses on the emotions, relationships and secrets of the characters involved: solving the murder might be less important to the characters than pursuing their clandestine affairs, arranging marriages of convenience or blackmailing their enemies.   Features: Infinitely replayable: the characters and relationships between them are based on randomly drawn cards and created by the players right before the game, which makes every run unique. Requires no game master or preparation: just read the 2-page instructions and you're good to go. Great introduction to larps, accessible to non-larpers and non-gamers; it has been successfully played by diverse groups of people aged 16+. 22 double-sided Character cards, 10 News cards, 18 Relationships and 16 Secrets. 90 minute soundtrack for ambience and time-keeping.
