Murder in Hong Kong is a 4-12 player deduction and deception board game that plays in about 20 minutes.

In Murder in Hong Kong, players take on the role of investigators trying to solve a murder case - but there's a twist. The murderer is one of the investigators! Each player's role and team are randomly assigned at the start of the game and include the unique roles of Forensic Scientist, Witness, Investigator, Murderer and Accomplice. While the investigators try to deduce the truth, the killer's team must deceive and confuse - this is a battle of wits!

The forensic scientist has the solution but can only express clues using the special scene tiles while the investigators (and the killer) try to interpret the evidence. To succeed, the investigators must not only deduce the truth from the forensic scientist's clues, but also see through the misdirection that the killer and accomplice inject into the equation.

Find out which of you can break through the deception to find the truth and who is able to get away with it!

Roles

Forensic Scientist x1

When the crime takes place, the Killer chooses 1 Clue card and 1 Means card as the solution to the crime. These will be the "Key Evidence" and "Means of Murder" respectively.>The Killer tries to hide his role and look for a scapegoat. Even if they are identified, the Killer wins the game if no one correctly identifies both the "Key Evidence" and the "Means of Murder".

Investigators x8

The Accomplice is an optional role for games with six or more players. The Accomplice knows who the Murderer is, as well as the solution to the crime. The Accomplice and the Murderer win if the Murderer gets away with the crime.

Witness x1

The Witness is an optional role when playing with six or more players.* The Witness is an investigator who has witnessed the culprits leaving the scene of the crime. They have no way of knowing which is the killer and which is the accomplice and do not know how the crime was committed. If the Killer is arrested but can identify the Witness, the Witness is considered to have been killed, allowing the Killer and the Accomplice to get away with murder and win the game.
