About Midnight Murder Club
Midnight Murder Club is a horror‑party game where up to six masked players explore a dark mansion armed only with flashlights and revolvers. Proximity chat turns nearby whispers, footsteps and gunshots into both jump‑scares and comedy, making each match a fresh tale of chaos.
The title offers PvP, a rule‑bending Wildcards mode, a co‑op PvE “Graveyard Shift”, and hidden items called Devil’s Toys. Cross‑platform multiplayer, full controller support and free Guest Passes let friends join without extra cost.
01 / THE GUIDE
Game Premise
Players conceal their identity behind a mask and must decide between staying in darkness or clicking a flashlight. The description stresses that the difference between light and dark influences every decision, affecting visibility and risk.
A single purchase allows the host to invite up to five friends, who can download a free Guest Pass Edition to join the same matches, creating a full party of six without additional purchase.
- Observe how staying in darkness changes your visibility and risk compared with using the flashlight.
- Test the flashlight only when navigation feels uncertain.
02 / THE GUIDE
Wildcards Mode
Wildcards are described as powerful game‑changers that let players add effects such as bear traps, altered team sizes, wall‑piercing shots, or oversized bobble heads. Each effect reshapes the match by changing a rule or adding a new hazard.
The mode’s tagline states that “chaos is always in the cards,” indicating that players can select a Wildcard before a round to modify the experience, but the description does not specify using more than one at a time.
- Try a single Wildcard per match to see its direct impact.
- Note how each Wildcard alters player movement and combat flow.

Whispers in the Dark
Full proximity chat creates tense moments as players hear muffled footsteps, gunshots and rival laughter through the mansion’s corridors. Audio cues become a source of information about nearby activity.
Because whispers travel only to nearby players, sound can be used to locate opponents or avoid danger, turning ordinary conversation into a strategic element.
- Listen for gunfire to gauge where combat is occurring.
- Move quietly when you want to stay hidden from nearby ears.
04 / THE GUIDE
PvE Mode: Graveyard Shift
Graveyard Shift lets two players team up against supernatural forces such as twisted demons, creeping shadows and blazing skulls. The goal is to collect golden relics and return them to a vault while surviving enemy waves.
The description notes that the longer players survive, the stronger the opposition becomes, indicating a scaling difficulty that intensifies over time.
- Coordinate relic routes with your partner to reduce exposure.
- Focus fire on the most threatening enemies to thin the wave.
05 / THE GUIDE
The Devil’s Toys
Hidden throughout the mansion are traps, weapons and equipment called Devil’s Toys. Items include night‑vision pills, chandelier traps, bear traps and molotov cocktails, each offering a different way to survive or eliminate opponents.
The variety of toys means each match can feel distinct, as players discover and employ different tools to gain an advantage in the dark corridors.
- Pick up night‑vision pills when you need to see without a flashlight.
- Place chandelier traps in high‑traffic areas for potential ambushes.
