Can the host play a character as well?

Certainly. Just don't read the booklets that you will give to the other players. That way, you won't know who the killer is.

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.

Dear Amanda, I aree with what the others wrote. Additional characters can be added, with creative names and invented back stories and even story lines. Getting into character by dressing the part is defintely recommended - even for those who want to watch more than participate.

Yes he is on the game & we can play as him, but he is hard to get you have to complete a task on 30 years of Wrestlemania & it is not easy.

Two people could play, yes. However I would recommend each person play two characters. The game isn't easy, even full parties of 5 can be killed. So two could play and have fun, but the odds will be even more stacked against you! That may make it even more fun...

Either. You can add the extra player as an addition part of the team, or you can have that person take on the role of Bioterrorist.

Yes, you can. You can even play by yourself if you so choose. Their are some rules that change slightly depending on the number of players, i.e. monsters in the 'Outskirts' and how many gates have to be closed, but all those rules are in the book.

Yes you can. You could create a scene on your remote or controller that can control many units of any kind at the same time.

Yes, unless you figure out a way to make it playable with more than two people. Which could be possible, it is only designed for 1v1.

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.

Karen I am sorry that you have lost your host instructions. I do not own that game, I purchased it as a gift for someone else! Have you tried going to u-tube to see if the instructions for the game are possibly available. Good Luck with your search and enjoy the game!

The murderer will be exposed at the end of the game. Let me encourage you - it's a lot of fun, especially if people come dressed as their character.

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.

no you can not you can only use these characters on 2.0 but not in main missions only in the playground

There are usually 8 characters with 6 having scripted parts and 2 "extras" with an assigned character but they ad lib. No reason why you couldn't add even more characters as extras. Just make up names and roles for them. My husband and I have done mystery parties and been host & hostess, keeping things flowing and food and beverage served without taking parts. We had fun doing that.

Ignore the "yes." I stupidly clicked the wrong button. I wouldn't recommend it. It's possible, but it's one more thing to juggle. You're already responsible for the rules and story, and while it's possible to play a player character as well, it's tough enough to run when you're new to gaming. If you're still interested in the game, I ran the scenario here fine with two players. A couple of encounters are probably best scaled down, but I believe the book tells you where to. If you have at east two other people, you can run this and learn the rules as you go. If you then decide you also wish to play a character, knock yourself out.
