The Anarchy Army is a secret society murder mystery game set at the most dangerous induction ceremony you will ever attend — and the ultimate spy murder mystery game for guests who like their intrigue served with a side of world domination. Members of the Anarchy Army have gathered in secret to welcome a new recruit into the fold: Ivana Spijun, an emeritus Professor of Physics whose classified time travel machine forms the centrepiece of an elaborate plan to overthrow every government on earth. The stakes could not be higher. The guest list could not be more dangerous. And the evening is about to go catastrophically wrong.

Ivana Spijun is murdered before the induction can be completed.

With the world domination plan in jeopardy and a killer hiding among the ranks, the members of the Anarchy Army must turn on each other. Every guest at the table is a suspect — and every guest has something to hide. Was the murder an act of betrayal from within the organisation? A rival faction’s intervention? Or something far more personal lurking beneath the surface of this shadowy gathering? As accusations fly and alliances fracture, it’s up to the dinner guests to piece together the clues before the evening ends in chaos.

“What an incredible immersive experience. So much fun! I recommend anyone to jump on board with this and have a great time. Thoroughly enjoyable!” – Scott Cooper

This is not a passive experience. Every guest arrives as a character with a backstory, a secret, and a motive — and the interrogations begin the moment the body is discovered. Each player must take turns revealing another character’s suspicious secrets over the dinner table, building a web of intrigue that tightens with every revelation. The beauty of this game is that the drama unfolds from your guests, not from a script — the more they commit to their characters, the more thrillingly unpredictable the evening becomes.

The game caters for 21 guests (9 female characters, 10 male characters, and 2 undefined characters) of varying ages.

The fully designed printable kit includes everything you need to host a seamless covert evening: an Invitation to set the scene before the night, a Character List, Place Cards and Name Tags for the table, Clue Cards to drive the investigation, the Order of Events to keep the evening on track, the Security Note, and the Guest Register — because even anarchists need a sign-in sheet.

Murder Mystery Guide games are conceived and designed in Cape Town, and played everywhere — from living rooms to luxury venues across South Africa and beyond. Every game in our collection is an original production: fully designed, largely improvised, and built for real people, not trained actors. No scripts to memorise, no experience required — just great company and a willingness to have fun. Whether you’re hosting a themed dinner party, a milestone birthday, or a private event with a conspiratorial twist, we give every guest a role, a secret, and a reason to stay at the table.
