Chicago vs Berlin Murder Mystery Games: Which to Play?

Quick Answer

Choose the Chicago murder mystery game for a fast, flexible night with up to six players, or pick the Berlin game if you want a compact, atmospheric case with a UV torch hunt. Both are part of the Deadly Destinations series.

How to Choose

• Group size: If you have a group of up to six, the Chicago game is a safe bet. The Berlin game doesn't list a player count in the available details, so check the packaging if you need a specific number.
• Play time: Need a quick game? Chicago is designed to finish in under an hour. Berlin doesn't specify a duration, so it may take longer—or shorter—depending on how thorough your detectives are. If time is tight, go with Chicago to stay on schedule.
• Atmosphere and clues: Berlin is marketed as atmospheric and compact, with a UV torch for invisible ink clues. That's a more immersive experience, but it may appeal less if you prefer a straightforward clue-gathering format. Choose Berlin if you want a moodier, more tactile investigation.
