Murder Mystery Mansion comes with a 3-D mansion card rack and features anime-style artwork.

The first player or team chooses four different cards; a murderer, a weapon, a location and a motive. The cards are placed behind the 3D mansion, so the other player or team can't see them.

The second player or team tries to solve the mystery. They choose four cards, like the first player, and place them upon the stairs. The first player or team tells the other which cards are right.If the second team or players guess the right murderer, weapon, location and motif before they reach the top of the stairs, then they earn a point.

Now the players or teams change their position. The first player or team which reaches the top of the stairs with the scoremarker win the game.
