Murderville Launch:
How to Get the Game, Join the Mayhem, and Make This Holiday Season Deadly
The holidays just got darker. Murderville is dropping this season with a carefully timed rollout designed to build hype, reward our most loyal fans, and give you multiple chances to grab the perfect gift—or become part of the chaos and earn while you share it. Below is everything buyers need to know: what’s coming, when to buy, and how to score the best deals.
Why our launch matters (and why you should care)
First things first, for obvious reasons, we wanted to officially release Murderville on October 31, 2025. However, being a self-funded project, it was hard to get the resources required to quickly move things along. Once the Kickstarter fizzled, we needed a new plan. The new plan was to pay manufacturers to move production forward and recover the cost through offering a Murvillian prelaunch special (25% – 50% Off), but once the trade war went full swing, the costs quickly rose, meaning that we would have to lower the quality of the game to make it more affordable or pay more, then charge more for the game recover the cost. None of these were good options.
The new plan – we’re rolling out the game in stages so early fans get first dibs, influencers create the buzz, and holiday shoppers get irresistible bundles during the biggest shopping week of the year. Whether you’re buying for a friend who loves dark humor or hunting for a standout party game, this launch gives you options and savings. We figured that Murderville isn’t your average party or strategy game. It’s bold, irreverent, and built to create shareable moments—exactly the kind of gift people remember. We also added some extra gifts for early buyers:
- A Level 13 $150 Backers card
- A Level 8 $50 Tournament card
- Premium Betting chips
True to our original concept, we will still only be producing a maximum of 600 of each card for maximum collectability. That means the first 600 people to purchase the game will have the first renovation of cards, which will never be available again.
