What is Midnight Murder Club?

Hide, seek and shoot in the dark - a unique blend of first-person shooter and party game.

Midnight Murder Club is a chaotic and hilarious horror party game where every match is a new tale of screaming, surprises, and stumbling through the dark.

Surrounded by your favorite troublemakers and armed with only a flashlight and a revolver, you’ll tiptoe and whisper your way through traps, toys, and total chaos, where proximity chat turns whispers into jump scares and chaos into comedy.

Why you should play Midnight Murder Club

Share with friends

Buy Midnight Murder Club and invite up to five friends to join you with the Guest Pass Edition at no additional cost. One purchase covers the whole crew. Every game mode, every whisper in the dark, no holding back. After all, what’s a mansion full of murder and chaos without some company?

Six guests. One deadly game

The difference between light and dark is important as the Midnight Murder Club’s members are forced to choose between the safety of darkness and the risk of clicking on a flashlight. Spotting someone else gives crucial information, but if you can see them, that means they can see you, too. Rely on your other senses to navigate the mansion and find your opponents.

Wildcards Mode

Survival isn’t just about skill, it’s about bending the rules. Stack the deck in your favor with Wildcards, powerful game-changers that shake up every match. Pick the mansion’s toys, adjust the team sizes, shoot through walls, play with gigantic bobble heads, or go out in a blaze of glory… literally. Wildcards add unpredictable twists to the existing roster of game modes with rule-breaking effects that keep everyone on their toes. In this mode, chaos is always in the cards.

PVE Mode: Graveyard Shift

Not every threat in the mansion wears a mask. Team up with a friend to face the supernatural forces lurking the dark halls in Graveyard Shift. Hunt down golden relics and return them to the vault while fending off waves of twisted demons, creeping shadows, and blazing skulls. The longer you last, the stronger your opposition gets, because the mansion won’t go down without a fight.

Whispers in the dark

Full proximity chat leads to tense and hysterical moments as you feel your way through the mansion’s dark corridors. Hear muffled footsteps as someone runs down the hallway above you, then creep toward gunshots bleeding through the door to the next room. Hear your rivals’ laughter echo through the tall ceilings after you emerge victorious from a gunfight.

Chaotic toys

Hidden around the mansion are traps, weapons, and other equipment to help you survive the night. Take night vision pills to see in the dark. Don a bulletproof vest to defend against your foes. Immobilize your enemies in a bear trap or light them ablaze with a molotov cocktail. The variety of items makes every match unique.

Latest Wildcards

Stack the deck in your favor with Wildcards, powerful game-changers that shake up every match. 

Flameskull Vendor

Add a Flameskull to the vendor! Using a flameskull will cause your POV be taken over by the skull, which you can fly around for 30 seconds. Doors will automatically fly open when you approach them, and you’ll cast a fiery light around you. 

Falling Chandelier

Adds a fiery ceiling trap that will fall on your foes! When used, fixes a Falling Chandelier trap to the ceiling wherever the player is aiming, which then falls on the first person to walk beneath it.

Party Room

Who said disco was dead? A room is randomly selected in the mansion to be the Party Room, where a color-flashing disco ball appears and music starts blasting.
