About this game

Last Message hands the whole table a genuinely nasty little puzzle: your only witness is already gone, and the one clue they left behind is being quietly sabotaged as you investigate. Behind a screen, the victim scrawls a fifteen-second clue pointing at their killer, hidden somewhere in a crowded, Where's Waldo style crime scene. But the murderer sits behind that same screen, and each round they get to erase part of the fading evidence before detectives take another look. Racing a vanishing clue while a killer quietly covers their tracks makes for a tense, giggly whodunit that rarely plays the same way twice.
