Gameplay: All our mystery games play in the same general format. Players receive a character who they will roleplay. Using social deduction they will determine clues and and eliminate red herrings, ultimately deciding on a guess as to the culprit's identity. The guilty party is not determined randomly and is tied to each mystery's plot; the victim(s) are never eliminated from game play. Criminals do not know their guilt until the game's end--every player should suspect even themselves!

Theme:
It’s the opposite of team-building!
 
The morning’s dragging on. The coffee’s gone cold, the copier’s been making that grinding noise again, and everyone’s nerves are fraying. Outside, the students cheer at the assembly, blissfully unaware that their teachers are plotting a full-scale faculty meltdown. Then the intercom crackles with static—and dies.
 
Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe not.
 
Terror in the Teacher’s Lounge is a school-faculty-themed murder mystery party for 6-12 players by Christopher D. Schmitz.
