You play a crime dinner in a group, at home with one of the other players. Everyone slips into the shoes of a character and together you solve a criminal case. Usually one of you is the murderer. The app offers crime dinners for 3 - 8 people in various genres, including historical crime novels, fantasy and science fiction.

In order to play a crime thriller with the Crime Dinner app, every player needs a cell phone or tablet with the app. First, each player chooses a character and reads their previous knowledge.

The game takes place on the following pages. On them you can investigate the murder and make decisions together. You will always receive secret information about your character, but no prescribed dialogues. Everyone can decide for themselves what their character reveals and how they explain themselves. On the first page, each player learns their alibi and therefore whether their character is the perpetrator. In the end you have to decide together who you think is the perpetrator.
