Free Murder Mystery Online Games

Free murder mystery games online give you the chance to be a detective on the hunt for a killer. Most of the games are simple point and click adventures, unlike carnage shooters like Max Payne, but you still have to have a keen eye for detail if you want to solve the murder. There are easy ones and there are hard ones. Some sites have multiple mysteries for you to solve which progressively get harder. Practice your skills on the first ones in order to be keen in the rest.

The Crime and Investigation Network is one of the best places to find point and click free murder mystery games online. The site is crisp and vibrant and uses Flash movies to guide your through the mystery and fact-finding scenarios. You are quickly briefed on the murder, initial witnesses and suspects before being thrown into the crime scene. After surveying the scene and gathering evidence, you can then investigate the evidence further or interview witnesses and any suspects you may have uncovered.

When interviewing you choose the line of questioning. Theoretically, you should be able to choose questions that will uncover lies without beginning at the start again. As lies are spotted or evidence is exposed, they go into special parts of your files, which you can go to at anytime.

Certain goals have to be met per round and when they are, additional locations are unlocked that you may investigate, and new goals are presented. This online game is fun to play and well-designed. If you are just starting out with free murder mystery games online, start with this one.

A little more light-hearted, Stickman Murder Mysteries, has five mysteries that you must solve as a homicide detective. Horrible deaths are happening in Stickville, from drownings to stabbings, and you must try to figure out what is going on. The scenarios are light-hearted because of the nature of the presentation: cartoon form with stick people as the main characters.

Mystery at Mansfield Manor is your classic murder mystery in a mansion. There is a death of the host and one of the guests is the killer, but who? You are the detective called to the scene and must make use of your wits and powers of observation to figure out who is the killer.

What makes this game a little different is that actual actors were used. Granted, their pictures are still photographs, but at least you have someone real to associate with. Their actions and dialog are scripted, but the characters are well drawn out and have definite personalities.

Suspicion of Murder is another mansion game where you are the detective called to the scene to find a murderer. The difference between this one and Mystery at Mansfield Manor is that this one is more of a point-and-click flash adventure, like Myst or Death on the Nile, except more cartoonish in appeal. You start at the foyer of the house and click through the house where you want to go. You’ll meet the different people of the house and encounter clues. The game can be hard or easy, depending on how hard you want to look around the house. On average, the game should take you an hour or so.

One great thing about 'Suspicion of Murder is that you can use the scenario to base a live-action murder mystery party since the writer of the online game writes murder mystery scenarios for a living. In a matter of minutes, you can adapt the story to your house or even apartment.

Free murder mystery games online let you lose yourself in a world of murder and mystery and people who don’t want to be caught. The games are escapist, like any video game, and a good way to test your thinking and observation skills. The only thing you can’t get from playing these games is a detective badge. You actually have to go to school for that.
