About the game
During the wee hours of the night, the light still shines brightly in the penthouse hotel. A private party filled with energy has turned sour by the sound of terror. A body has been found dead in the room at the end of the hallway. Fear has triggered the guests, and everyone is now vigilant... In Dying Message, you want to find evidence and vote for the murderer. Making a wrong decision can put the lives of innocent people in danger.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dying Message is 10–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dying Message for ages 15 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dying Message has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
