Free murder mystery games we think you’ll enjoy

Yes, they do exist. And, no, they aren’t all rubbish. But the usual limitations apply. Some are rubbish. Some lack the detail and layers of intrigue you’ll find in our paid-for mysteries. The solutions can be too easy or impossible or ridiculous. You’ll have to do everything yourself and probably won’t be able to contact anyone if you have a query about how the game works. And you are more likely to hit technical problems or find that “Free” actually means “Free Until We Ask You To Pay For Some Extra Bits You’ll Need”.

The links below will lead you to some of the best free murder mysteries you can play. If you know of any others which crime fans might enjoy, then do please let us know.
