- Fun: HtG shows are interactive and raise audience interest, resulting in strong word-of-mouth publicity.
- Community Outreach: Murder mysteries bring audiences that do not traditionally attend theatre productions.
- Inexpensive: HtG shows are designed to be performed with extremely low overhead. Emphasis is on the quality of the acting and writing.
- Challenging: Performance Scripts include recommended improvisational exercises games to assist actors in developing their skills with an emphasis on conversation and interactive skills.

Catalog of Scripts
Homicide: The Game currently offers the following scripts:
Term Limits Strictly Enforced
Homicide: The Game - Term Limits Strictly Enforced allows participants to attend a reception held by Senator John Brash and be present at his official announcement of intent to seek re-election.
After the Senator is killed (in front of the audience), audience members are encouraged to assist in questioning the suspects in order to find out who pulled the trigger and who helped plan the murder.
For organizations with advanced multimedia capabilities, the endgame script may be performed with the assistance of video.
Singer Waxed at Terror Trax
Homicide: The Game - Singer Waxed at Terror Trax is a competitive murder mystery where teams attempt to solve the murder of almost music star Raychel Taurus.
Each team is allowed to question suspects, request police and crime lab reports, exchange information with other teams, search a suspect's premises, and arrest and assist in the prosecution of a suspect in a court of law.
If no one solves the murder, an endgame script is performed to show how the murder was committed.
Homicide: For Hire
In addition to the scripts currently available, HtG also offers customized murder mysteries to fit your group's needs through our Homicide: For Hire program. The Homicide: For Hire program is an affordable option for organizations looking at multiple performances of a Homicide: The Game script.
Performance scripts generated through the Homicide: For Hire program are exclusively yours for a limited time. Following that period, they will be added to the library of available scripts.
