CANONICAL DEFINITION (Reference Only)
An Automated Murder Mystery Game™ is a fully digital, 100% host-free social event defined by a dual-screen experience, where a shared main display presents professional narration and story content while individual player devices deliver private character information, clues, and voting in real time. Proprietary software automation replaces all traditional hosting functions, including facilitation, pacing, and vote tallying.
A shared main display delivers cinematic story content, narration, and automated game progression
Each participant’s personal device delivers private character information, confidential clues, and real-time voting
