PLAY AS A GROUP ALL IN ONE ROOM
The “unfortunate” death of Baroness Audry von Munchen has led to the auction of her archaeological treasures.
At “The Auction” you get to play a character in a fascinating mystery filled with double-dealing, bribery, blackmail and intrigue. You won’t just be watching, you will be completely involved in the action – as a lord, perhaps. A lady. An antiques dealer. A butler. Even a spy…
No one is quite what they seem. Finding out what other characters know and what they’ve really been up to is all part of the challenge. Dirty deeds, surprises, clues and possible solutions abound.
Towards the end, the auction of the fabulous von Munchen relics takes place. Treasures are won and lost in a flurry of bidding. Then everyone has a chance to make their accusations before the inspector reveals all.
When is this whodunit set?
You can choose. The Auction is set in the present day but you can change this without too much trouble. You may prefer it to take place in a different period – e.g. the Thirties, Forties, Fifties or Sixties. If so, tell everyone at your party which period you’ve chosen and ask them to ignore the handful of contemporary references in it.

Age Rating/Content Rating
We have two versions of this game. When you buy the game, both versions are available as downloadable PDFs. One version involves references to drug-taking which may make it unsuitable for younger people (and some adults!). We recommend this version to those aged 16 or more who won’t be offended by such references. In the other version, the drug references have been taken out and replaced. We reckon this drug-free version is suitable for those aged 12 or more.
