Murder Mystery Character Sheet



This page is a character sheet that can be adapted to a murder mystery. I was inspired to create it after attending an 80s mystery evening organized by a friend who runs these events professionally!



Murder mysteries can be run for special events such as birthday parties and they can have many themes. There are also professional companies that run them, frequently as interactive dinner theatre. If you're not sure what a murder mystery might entail, you can actually download some free scripts at this site: https://www.thespruce.com/free-murder-mystery-games-1357635 (Don't copy them though, they are not public domain, only free to read!)



Usually murder mysteries involve one person running the story and several characters. Around eight characters is normal. Characters can be professional actors, amateur participants or a mix of the two. Scripts can be complex, but usually they're fairly simple with a biography/character sheet for each participant and a simple story structure with a few plot points and key clues.
