What is Murderhouse?
Murderhouse is a tabletop roleplaying game by Emma Milerud Sundström, made in homage to the slasher films of the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s.
The story
Ordinary people in an everyday place, and a Killer who won’t stop. The Killer might be a masked stranger, a monster, something supernatural or an experiment gone wrong. Your goal is to survive. Beating the Killer is possible, but never easy and never free.
How you play
One person is the Director. They set the scene, play the Killer and everyone else, and make the final call on the rules. Everyone else plays a Character and says what they do. When the outcome is uncertain, you roll percentile dice against your Character’s stats, and fear and stress build as the night goes on.
What you need
- A Director and 2–4 players
- A set of dice, or the dice on this site
- A Character for each player, made step by step here
