One game. Six students. Five survivors. It was only ever meant to be a game. A game of consequences, of silly forfeits, childish dares. A game to be played by six best friends in their first year at Oxford University. But then the game changed: the stakes grew higher and the dares more personal, more humiliating, finally evolving into a vicious struggle with unpredictable and tragic results. Now, fourteen years later, the remaining players must meet again for the final round.

Using your powers of deduction, can you play detective and help put the killers behind bars? 5 Minute Murder features 100 logic and code-based murder-mystery puzzles, skillfully compiled by acclaimed psychological thriller writer Christopher J.
