Is this for 6 players with 2 extra characters?

Yes, you need at least 6, but can add another 2. The instructions explain it.

I believe if I remember correctly it is 8 players. I had more than 8 at my party, but there are 8 actual characters...The recipes are wonderful and it was great fun!

Yes. The two extra characters did not really have much to say. I played one of them as the host, which worked out perfectly because it gave me time to take care of the food and wine.

It is for 6 players and those are the only players who will be considered for the "who did it" portion of the mystery - that should be made clear to the 6 players. If you want 2 others to join in, they will know they are not part of the mystery. There is another "Disco Mystery" for 8 players. The game is a blast - both of them - especially when the players make an effort to dress the part.

Theoretically it could, but you would have to play 2 characters. I'd advise at least 2, but 4 is the best number.

Playing with six people is not something I would recommend. It seems that the more players you have, the lower your chances of winning.

You can do 4 people simultaneously (even more if you buy extra equipment). When you purchase a game just look at the back of the cover and see how many players it is made for.

It is an online game, you can play WITH more than 2 people at the same time. As far as yourself controlling 2 characters at the same time, I don't believe so.

I think you have to have at least two players. I know they will have NPCs to fill in for the rest.....the game is most certainly meant for kids...I play it with my kid sometimes just as a bonding thing....my kid just checked and she says you must have 2 players

No. The tablet is set up for 12 players only. To play with more you would need extra pages on the tablet. I played with 12 ppl and it took 1 hour for just 1 round. It's setup to play 3.

It could be indeed. You could even play it by yourself playing all 4 characters. So for two people, You can probably control 2 characters each. So yes, It's fun. At least for me it is.

You can. I've played it with students as 3 player. But you might want to modify the rules a bit. Because with 3 players, you either score 2 points or no points. Which isn't as much fun as with 4 or more players.

I'm going to say no. I think (whether the game says it or not) you need at least three people. But I would go even further and say to have some real fun with this game, you need at least four people.

Not if you want everyone to have a part in the game. There are only 8 characters.

This is GREAT for 2 players. I mostly play it with just 2 people but I've also played with 3 and 4 players. The only change is the number of cards each person gets so it's really easy to add players to the game.

No way! I've played with up to 8 people which takes a while. The optimum number of players is 3-6 in my opinion.

It can be played solo fairly easily, but I'd recommend playing as 2 different characters most of the time. It's sweet spot would be with 3-5 players depending on the group.

Yes, you can play with two players. I have had a number of satisfying games with only two players and two players playing more than one character. I think more players is more fun because it gives the characters more personality, but the game can also be played solo or even single player with multiple characters.

Technically yes, rules exist to play with just one character. As far as I can tell it's basically impossible to win if you do that. However, you can modify the game by playing multiple characters yourself which can be interesting though time consuming. The game is definitely best with more people though.

You may have as many as 12 players, but it is more fun with more players. I would say four players would be the least amount of people you would want to play with.
