“I hosted Killer at Camp Caribou last night here in Western Australia. It was my first murder mystery and being able to run it and play along was great. Not really any pics since everyone got so into the game and so into character. We had the firepit going in my courtyard and roasted marshmallows. Just wanted to say thanks for creating such a fun game with so many twists and turns. 🏕.”
“I ran the CC game at my friend's cabin and we had so much fun, thanks for a great time!”
