The A Question of Murder
Fights and quarrels, financial disputes, long-lasting feuds are all reasons for murder! Much of your lines of investigation will revolve around establishing the motive of your suspects. Which guests have cause to kill our victim? What do individual guests gain by killing off the deceased?
Clues related to motive and method are continuously revealed throughout the game. Your suspects may have some extra information on any of the game's clues or evidence. The more information you can gather, the closer you'll be to demasking the murder.
Many murders revolve around money. You can bet that someone is willing to kill for a massive payday if there is a will at play. This question is an excellent question to determine if any guests stand to gain from the victim's death. Maybe one of the characters is mentioned in the will; more importantly, they may already know their inheritance.
While your lines inform the basis of any solid investigation of questioning, there are also some other detective skills and ideas that you should incorporate into your amateur inquiry.

The screenplay concerns a man who sends in a question to the BBC panel show Twenty Questions before he commits a murder.[2] A number of people play themselves as members of the Twenty Questions panel.[3]
Objection 2. Further, murder is a sin because it deprives a man of life. Now life is common to all animals and plants. Hence for the same reason it is apparently a sin to slay dumb animals and plants.
Reply to Objection 3. He that kills another's ox, sins, not through killing the ox, but through injuring another man in his property. Wherefore this is not a species of the sin of murder but of the sin of theft or robbery.
On the contrary, Augustine says (De Civ. Dei i) [Can. Quicumque percutit, caus. xxiii, qu. 8: "A man who, without exercising public authority, kills an evil-doer, shall be judged guilty of murder, and all the more, since he has dared to usurp a power which God has not given him."
Objection 1. It would seem lawful for a man to kill himself. For murder is a sin in so far as it is contrary to justice. But no man can do an injustice to himself, as is proved in Ethic. v, 11. Therefore no man sins by killing himself.
Objection 4. Further, murder is a more grievous sin than fornication or adultery. Now nobody may lawfully commit simple fornication or adultery or any other mortal sin in order to save his own life; since the spiritual life is to be preferred to the life of the body. Therefore no man may lawfully take another's life in self-defense in order to save his own life.
On the contrary, It is written (Exodus 22:2): "If a thief be found breaking into a house or undermining it, and be wounded so as to die; he that slew him shall not be guilty of blood." Now it is much more lawful to defend one's life than one's house. Therefore neither is a man guilty of murder if he kill another in defense of his own life.
Objection 1. It would seem that one is guilty of murder through killing someone by chance. For we read (Genesis 4:23-24) that Lamech slew a man in mistake for a wild beast [The text of the Bible does not say so, but this was the Jewish traditional commentary on Genesis 4:23, and that he was accounted guilty of murder. Therefore one incurs the guilt of murder through killing a man by chance.
Objection 2. Further, it is written (Exodus 21:22): "If . . . one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed . . . if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life." Yet this may happen without any intention of causing her death. Therefore one is guilty of murder through killing someone by chance.
Objection 3. Further, the Decretals [Dist. 1 contain several canons prescribing penalties for unintentional homicide. Now penalty is not due save for guilt. Therefore he who kills a man by chance, incurs the guilt of murder.
Nevertheless it happens that what is not actually and directly voluntary and intended, is voluntary and intended accidentally, according as that which removes an obstacle is called an accidental cause. Wherefore he who does not remove something whence homicide results whereas he ought to remove it, is in a sense guilty of voluntary homicide. This happens in two ways: first when a man causes another's death through occupying himself with unlawful things which he ought to avoid: secondly, when he does not take sufficient care. Hence, according to jurists, if a man pursue a lawful occupation and take due care, the result being that a person loses his life, he is not guilty of that person's death: whereas if he be occupied with something unlawful, or even with something lawful, but without due care, he does not escape being guilty of murder, if his action results in someone's death.
The Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" ("Endlösung der Judenfrage") was the deliberate and systematic mass murder of European Jews. It was the last stage of the Holocaust and took place from 1941 to 1945. Though many Jews were killed before the "Final Solution" began, the vast majority of Jewish victims were murdered during this period.
After the September 1939 German invasion of Poland (the beginning of World War II), anti-Jewish policy escalated to the imprisonment and eventual murder of European Jewry. The Nazis first established ghettos (enclosed areas designed to isolate and control the Jews) in the Generalgouvernement (a territory in central and eastern Poland overseen by a German civilian government) and the Warthegau (an area of western Poland annexed to Germany). Polish and western European Jews were deported to these ghettos where they lived in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions with inadequate food.
On July 17, 1941, four weeks after the invasion of the Soviet Union, Hitler tasked SS chief Heinrich Himmler with responsibility for all security matters in the occupied Soviet Union. Hitler gave Himmler broad authority to physically eliminate any perceived threats to permanent German rule. Two weeks later, on July 31, 1941, Nazi leader Hermann Goering authorized SS General Reinhard Heydrich to make preparations for the implementation of a "complete solution of the Jewish question."
The Majdanek camp served from time to time as a killing site for Jews residing in the Generalgouvernement. In its gas chambers, the SS killed tens of thousands of Jews, primarily forced laborers too weak to work. The SS and police killed at least 167,000 Jews, as well as approximately 4,300 Roma (Gypsies), in gas vans at the Chelmno killing center about thirty miles northwest of Łódź. In the spring of 1942, Himmler designated Auschwitz II (Auschwitz-Birkenau) as a killing facility. SS authorities murdered approximately one million Jews from various European countries at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
She was last seen during a New Year's celebration at her Cohasset, Massachusetts home, and there's still no sign of her. The Norfolk District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday that Brian Walshe is being charged with her murder.
Nathaniel Amendola, a criminal defense lawyer in Massachusetts who's been following the case closely, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday, before the murder charge was announced, that prosecutors would need to rely on other types of evidence to prove a death has occurred.
Bibb called it "the toughest case of our career" when he spoke to Fox News Digital last August about prosecuting a homicide when the victim's body has not been found. He weighed in on the challenges of that type of case amid last summer's trial in Kristin Smart's disappearance, which led to Paul Flores being convicted of murder.
Police said the charge stemmed from Walshe's alleged "intentional, willful and direct responses to questions about his whereabouts on the days of Sunday, January 1, 2023 and Monday, January 2, 2023."
Trivia Murder Party is one of the games featured in The Jackbox Party Pack 3. Players are required to answer trivia questions in a fashion more similar to your average trivia game than You Don't Know Jack is, but still with it's own unique spin that makes things interesting: If you lose, you're sent to the Killing Floor, where losing players fight for their life in a minigame, which continues until one remains. And remember! Whatever you do DON'T CALL 701-645-DEAD!
For the most part, getting questions correctly gets you off scot-free. However, if all living players get two questions right in a row (3 in a row for 1-3 player games), they all go to the Killing Floor so the host can "teach you a lesson".
If more than one player survives 9 questions, then every living player will take turns spinning the Loser Wheel. This is the spin-off. Competitors will spin in order from least amount of money to most amount of money. If 2 or more players have the same amount of money, then these players will spin in the order they joined the game from first to last. Players will continue to spin the loser wheel until all but 1 player is alive, with the final round following immediately after.
