Night of the Mummy is a board game released in 2022 for 4–8 players, 15–20 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Peter C. Hayward and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Memory, and Hidden Roles.
The Mummy’s curse has brought all the exhibits to life and they’ve crashed the Museum of Unnatural History’s annual masquerade ball! Night of the Mummy is a 20-minute game of hidden roles and logical deduction for 4-8 players aged 10 and up. Each player takes on the role of a classic monster at a masquerade party - identify and expose everyone else to break the curse and escape! A standalone expansion to Dracula’s Feast: New Blood, Night of the Mummy improves everything you loved about the original - more roles, unique interactions, and a brand new mechanism: some characters hide while dancing, not revealing their roles to other players! Best of all, combine it with Dracula’s Feast! Incorporate roles from either game into the other for even greater replayability! The game comes with 10 unique new roles, including 3 advanced guests. —description from the publisher
Night of the Mummy supports 4–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Night of the Mummy is 15–20 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 Night of the Mummy for ages 10 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.
