Murder on the Rocks is a murder mystery game with a cocktail-themed twist that comes packaged in a cocktail shaker, and includes cards and droppers for drink mixing. Each player is assigned a drinks-themed character, and ultimately, those who have secretly been assigned the role of "innocent" must work together to decipher clues before they're picked off, one by one, by the murderer.
Each round, everyone will be blindfolded for the duration of a song of their choosing so that the murderer has time to add their "murder weapon" dropper to another player's drink.
For even more fun, the Shot of Deception Mini Expansion brings fresh experiences to the game, introducing new clue and weapon cards.
