Frequently asked questions
How does a murder mystery gift work?
You pay once and get a one-time code with a redeem link. The person you are gifting signs in to a free account, enters the code, and the case or membership unlocks for them.
Can I send the gift on a specific day?
Yes. The code comes to you, so you choose when to send it. Text it on Christmas morning or write it in a card.
Does the person I am gifting need an account?
They need a free account to redeem the code. Their friends who join the game do not.
Can they play with friends who do not own the case?
Yes. The host owns the case, and everyone else joins free with a room code.
Do gift codes expire?
No. The code works until it is redeemed, and each code can be redeemed once.
