[Jubensha Con 2026] Suspense Studio Jubensha

Jubensha (剧本杀) is a form of M**der mystery social deduction game. Each player receives a pre-written script, roleplays as a suspect in a crime scene, collects evidence, and attempts to deduce the murderer. One of you will secretly play the murderer!

1. Game Over

A group of game enthusiasts are invited to playtest a brand new game. During the game, all the players lose their memory. A player is found dead and no one can remember what happened. All the game instructions say is, “You have one goal in this game: escape. If you do not escape, it’s GAME OVER.”

Number of players: 5-6 players

Content warnings: bullying, death and suicide/M**der.

2. The Sandcastle

A group of die-hard gamers from the online gaming community, ‘The Sandcastle’, gathers at an exclusive island resort for the ultimate meet-up. But their dream getaway turns into a nightmare when one of them is murdered. Now, trapped on the island, they must navigate a deadly game of trust and deception. Will The Sandcastle withstand the tide of lies, or crumble under betrayal and deceit?

Number of players: 6 players

Content warnings: substance abuse, eating disorder, death and M**der
