Description

Get ready for a thrilling night of mystery and deception with Holmes' Horror Hotel, a fast-paced game of deduction and hidden identities. In this quick 5 to 10 minute game, 4 to 7 players take on the roles of employees or the infamous H.H. Holmes himself, but with a twist - the roles are secret, and only the player playing as Holmes knows who's who. The employees are trapped in the hotel with no escape, and their only hope for survival is to uncover the identity of the serial killer before it's too late. As players draw cards, they'll encounter traps, clues, and dead ends that will either help or hinder their progress. The employees must play their cards truthfully, while Holmes can lie and manipulate the game to his advantage - but if he's caught, the game is over for him. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Holmes' Horror Hotel is a great party game for a group of friends looking for a fun and suspenseful experience. Designed by Carrotz and published in 2019, this game is perfect for those who enjoy murder mystery and deduction games, and are looking for a thrilling challenge that will keep them on the edge of their seats.
