Quick answers on player count and playing time for a printed murder mystery game, and how to choose the right group size.
By Taswiro · 21 October 2026
The short answers first. Our printed case, The Raizada File, plays with one to six people and takes about two to three hours.
How many players?
One to six. You can solve it alone, but it is more fun with two to four. With five or six, split into pairs and share what each pair finds.
How long does it take?
Plan for two to three hours. The case has 55 printed documents in six sealed envelopes, so a slower group may take a little longer. You can stop and continue another day.
What age is it for?
Ages 16 and above.
Do you need to print anything?
No. The box arrives printed and sealed. You do not print or assemble anything.
Is it a one-time game?
A case is solved once, because you will know the answer. Keep it, lend it, or give it to someone who has not played it.
How do I check my answer?
