You have been murdered, but there is still time to reveal the killer in Dying Message, a small box party board game from Oink Games where creative communication, deduction and clever interpretation can solve a deadly mystery. With only a handful of strange cards plus your own body as tools, you must leave a clue before your final moments run out.
 
As the victim, your challenge is to create a dying message that tells the detectives who committed the crime. Arrange the cards, point with your fingers or deliberately cover parts of the symbols to communicate your idea without speaking. The trick is finding the perfect balance: make the clue too obvious and the culprit may destroy it, make it too obscure and the detectives may never understand what you meant.
 
The other players become detectives, examining the limited information left behind while discussing their interpretations. They can collaborate, challenge one another’s theories plus piece together the evidence to identify the murderer. Your success depends not only on the clue itself but on how convincingly the detectives can interpret it.
 
Every game creates a different mystery because the same collection of strange symbols can communicate countless ideas. A tiny gesture may completely change the meaning of a card, while an innocent-looking arrangement could hide the vital detail needed to crack the case.
 
Dying Message is an entertaining travel party game for family and friends who enjoy creative deduction, restricted communication, social discussion and a murder mystery theme.
