Freeform Games is a larp publisher in the UK. While its games are advertised as Murder Mystery Games in the style of How To Host a Murder, they are full-fledged theatre-style larps. The games include:
- Death on the Rocks
- Way out West
- Casino Fatale
- Hollywood Lies
- A Speakeasy Murder
- Curse of the Pharaoh
- A Will to Murder
- A Heroic Death
- Lei'd to Rest
- The Night before Christmas
- A Dead Man's Chest
- Dazzled to Death
- Murder at Sea
- Lord and Lady Westing's Will
- Death on the Gambia
- Davy Jones' Locker
- Snow Business
- The Spy Who Killed Me
- Bludgeoned on Broadway
- Halloween Lies
- Under the Big Top
- Happy Birthday R.J.
- Murder on the Dancefloor
- The Karma Club
- Arabian Nights
- Spellbound
- Who Shot the Sheriff
- Court in the Act
- Pirate Island
- Trick or Treat (Freform Games larp)
- Monster Mash
The games always involve murder, and tend to use easy media stereotypes to make it easy for inexperienced larpers to get into character. They use a common ruleset, involving ability cards, item cards, and paper-scissors-rock as a resolution mechanism. They also use secret cards, with various abilities allowing characters to examine one another's secrets.
