Hey, Murder Junkies! We're back with some hell-raising updates for ya’ll.
You keep coming back for more, don't you? We love that about you. And boy, do we have more titles on the way that’ll make your cold, dead hearts sing.
There’s tons of exciting news in the mix for this update –exclusive sneak peeks, box art and difficulty ratings update, and the chance to be part of the future of Hunt A Killer playtesting.
BODIES ARE PILING UP
We’re beyond thrilled to announce three new games coming out in a few short weeks. We’ve got a lightning-fast card game for the social deduction psychos, a classic narrative case with all the right killer party favors, and a HAK collaboration so spooky, it’s right out of hell!
- Killer Next Door: Ever wonder if your friends could commit murder and lie to you about it? Now you can find out. Killer Next Door is a fast-paced social deduction game that’s replayable with friends, family, and anyone you want to challenge in a game of deadly bluffs and bigger betrayals. With a new format and unique neighborhood vibe, this game takes a community-focused initiative and sprinkles in a little blood and guts. You’ll play as a member of your local HOA, and it’ll be up to you and your neighbors to band together and find the killer in the group. Who can you trust? Who’s lying through their fresh-baked bread? You interrogate the truth. The answers may be fatal.
- Game Night Gone Wrong: Play a murder mystery within a murder mystery. You heard that right! Game Night Gone Wrong brings the fun to your living room with a murder mystery birthday party scenario. In this case, Connor wanted to celebrate the occasion with close friends and coworkers, it was all fun and games until his best friend was found dead. Every other case you’ve ever solved has led you to this moment. Use your smarts, find the killer.
- NEW Collab Game: We’ve partnered with ghost-hunting legends to make a boot-shaking new game! We'd love to spill all the gory details, but you'll just have to wait. Stay tuned for the full announcement soon by following us on socias.
CHANGING DISGUISES + TACTICS
Last Killer Quarterly we announced a new look coming to Hunt A Killer boxes. Great news! Our new look is looking pretty good. We've already completed eight new box art makeovers that you'll be seeing later this year. From there, we’ve got plans to redo all eleven active cases available at retail and make new cases in the new style.
With the change, we're also making it easier to understand difficulty ratings to make the overall experience more intuitive for every player. Previously, we had a five-diamond system, whiiiiiiich could be a bit confusing, especially if you’re a new player. We’re moving to a simpler approach. Ever heard of easy, medium, hard, expert? Check out how that translates below. We want players to have the best HAK experience when participating with friends, family, or lovers. This upgrade helps ensure every time you pick up a new game, you’ll feel confident you’re at the right level to crack the case (and not vice versa).
We’ll have more information available in the Q3 blog.
