Co-Created Murder Games

White Claw & Netflix Collab on Glass Onion-Inspired Murder Mystery Game

White Claw and Netflix have partnered to create a limited-edition murder mystery game called Crack the Claw. The game mirrors a whodunit and includes a moderator script, official rules and 10 double-sided coasters with player roles such as vacationer, detective, doctor and murderer.

John Shea, CMO at White Claw Hard Seltzer USA, said: “White Claw and Netflix are both cultural powerhouses, and we're excited to partner together this holiday season. Crack the Claw lends itself to gatherings of friends and family, so I can't wait to play it with a White Claw in-hand over the holidays.”

Starting today, White Claw is giving fans the opportunity to get Crack the Claw first. Over the course of 24 hours, fans can correctly answer seven riddles posted to White Claw’s Twitter and Instagram to discover a seven-letter passcode unlocking the website, and then use that passcode as a promo code to get a game to be given away to the first 100 fans at checkout.
