Zoom Features That Make Your Virtual Mystery Shine
Zoom (or your preferred video conferencing platform) becomes your virtual crime scene. Here’s how to leverage its features for maximum fun:
Breakout Rooms: Your Virtual Alibis! Breakout rooms are essential for smaller group conversations and private interrogations. The best part? As the host, you can leave these rooms open at all times! This allows guests to freely move between the main room and smaller groups, just like they would at an in-person party, fostering those crucial private chats and accusations.
Anonymous Voting to the Host: When it's time for the final accusations, guests can discreetly message their vote directly to the host via the private chat feature. This keeps the suspense high and ensures everyone gets a fair (and anonymous!) chance to accuse the killer before the big reveal.
The Host Can Play Along! Yes, you read that right! Because the Guilty Games kits are designed to be intuitive, the host can absolutely join in the fun. Just don't open the "Confession" section of the host guide until the very end, and you can play along, gather clues, and make accusations just like everyone else.
Zoom Filters & Virtual Backgrounds: Instant Immersion! This is where the virtual party truly shines! Encourage your guests to use Zoom filters and custom virtual backgrounds to embody their character and the theme:
- 1920s Speakeasy Mystery: Imagine a dimly lit bar, flickering gas lamps, or even a hidden back room. Guests can use a speakeasy background to instantly transport themselves to the Jazz Age.
- Titanic Murder Mystery: Picture the grand staircase, a first-class dining salon, or a chilly deck background to immerse yourselves in the luxurious (and doomed!) voyage of 1912.
- Any of our 35+ themes! From a Western Saloon to a Wealthy Manor, there's a background and filter to match every one of our exciting murder mystery themes.
