• Can anyone play these games?

Jubensha is easy to get into, with no experience needed (lying skills may be advantageous). Feel free to watch this video introduction. We welcome anyone who has sufficient maturity and literacy skills to read a short murder mystery novel. However, please note the content warnings.

• How do I know if a game is confirmed?

Once the RSVPs are closed 3 days before the event date, if the game has not been cancelled then it means we are good to go! We will contact you for any changes or refunds if the date you signed up for is not going ahead.

• Cancellations

If you made a mistake and need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible and we will see what we can do. If it is too close to the game date and you cannot find someone else to replace you, then unfortunately we will not be able to provide a refund. Since these games require an exact number of players, please make sure you can attend before signing up to avoid inconveniencing the other players. 

• Who do I contact if I’m late/need to cancel?

Please message us as soon as you can on the contact page. If you only find out about an emergency on the day, please call us instead.

• How do I know if people cancel on the day?

If a game has already been confirmed but someone needs to cancel, we will try to find someone else to fill the spot and do our best to still run the game. If that is not possible, we will contact you as soon as we find out about it.

• Can we play if there aren’t enough players?

No, don't come if it’s the day of the proposed game and there aren’t enough players. The game will not run.

• Can I play the same game twice?

No. As a mystery game, there is no point playing again once you already know the story.

• Where did you get these games from?

These are originally Chinese scripts translated into English to promote and introduce Jubensha to the English speaking audience. Please give us suggestions for improvement after you play a game!

• Parking availability

There is free parking for 4 hours at Burwood Brickworks and paid parking under MCEC.

• I don’t like the location… Can we do another location?

If you would like to host a game at your own location, we are happy to make arrangements! Please contact us.

• Will the game go for 3 hours?

It will take at least 3 hours, but the post-game review could potentially go for a bit more. You are welcome to leave when the 3 hours are up though.

• Do we have to sit the whole time?

Most of the games requiring sitting and talking. You can excuse yourself for a break and are encouraged to get up and stretch but breaks won’t be scheduled.

• Can I bring food or drinks?

Yes and yes, please at least bring water as you will be talking lots.

• Can I share this link with other people?

Feel free to sign your friends up! You may wish to show them this video introduction.
