This was the first time for me to host a murder mystery party as well as the first time for my friends to play. We had a bit of trouble finding out what we were supposed to do, I set up everything as instructed (we have 8 players) and everyone had their character booklets but we couldn't get the ball rolling, everyone had a problem with what to ask and who to ask, for example the character of Kiran only thought of asking The profession about the vial and why he refused to let her improve her skills with Merlin, eventually we decided not to spoil the game as we didn't know how to play (immortal murders) and decided we'll play it another time when we knew what we were doing. I wanted some tips on how to start off and get every one involved. We were very excited to play the game but none of us realized how involved it was (which actually made us more excited to play it) we just need something to point us in the right direction as I'm sure we're doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance for the help!
