If you have previously played any mystery party games, you will notice the following special differences in Murderless Mysteries:
- There is no murder, the crime to be solved is nonviolent.
- An unlimited number of party guests can participate.
- The same game can be played again with a different solution.
- No one, including the host and even the culprit, can ever be sure of who dunnit, until it is revealed at the end of the game.
