The Golden Hour – A 1927 Hollywood Murder Mystery Party Game (10–17 Players) – Instant Download PDF

A glittering evening at the Fuller Estate turns deadly.
The city’s most anticipated private premiere — The Golden Hour — is brought to a halt when tragedy strikes before the film can even roll.

Can you solve this Art Deco Hollywood murder mystery?
Can you and your guests uncover the truth behind the glamorous façade, unmask the killer hiding in plain sight… or will each of you fall victim to the shadows of 1927?

Every detail of this game has been crafted by hand — story, clues, and characters — for a rich and immersive experience.

The Story 

It is 1927, the golden age of silent cinema, and the Fuller siblings— director Morgan Fuller Chapman and starlet Cameron Fuller — are celebrating the near-completion of their new film: The Golden Hour. Investors, rivals, critics, designers, and friends gather at the family manor outside London for a black-tie dinner and private celebration.

But beneath the glamour lies a tangle of secrets.

A whisper of missing production funds.
A psychic with dangerous insight.
A jealous critic with a bruised ego.
Forbidden romance, simmering debts, hidden scandals — and a killer willing to protect their truth at any cost.

When the night spirals into chaos and the bodies begin to fall, the guests must work together to uncover the clues, interrogate one another, and survive the deadly game before the clock strikes midnight.

Step into the opulence of the late 1920s and immerse yourself in a cinematic mystery where anyone can die… and even the dead keep talking.
