Dead Man’s Hand is a compact murder mystery set aboard a Mississippi riverboat. An illicit poker game ends in a suspicious death — six suspects, one killer, and a trail of evidence waiting to be pieced together. Your job is to crack the case before the culprit jumps ship.
Work through witness statements, evidence documents, and a deduction grid to eliminate suspects and narrow down the truth. Use the included playing cards to reconstruct the final poker hands dealt that night — a satisfying physical mechanic that ties the theme directly into the puzzle-solving. Hints and solutions are included if you get stuck.
What's good?
- Card reconstruction mechanic is clever and thematically on point
- Deduction grid keeps evidence organised as the case builds
- Compact components — 26 cards, case notes, logbook, and evidence sheets
- Works well solo or as a duo challenge
Who is it for?
- ✔ Murder mystery fans who enjoy structured deduction puzzles
- ✔ Solo players or pairs aged 12+ looking for a focused challenge
- ✔ A neat, affordable gift for crime fiction enthusiasts
- ✖ Single-play — once solved, the mystery cannot be reset
This is a single-play game — once the case is solved, it cannot be replayed by the same group.

Had never heard of Life of games before but it was suggested by Shop app. What a good suggestion it was. The item arrived very well packed and in good time. The product itself is awesome and I feel was a good bargain too.
I would and have recommended already to friends.
Definitely a store to keep an eye on.
Thanks again. Will use again in the future for sure.

Great delivery and quality as usual.
fantastic packaging and arrived very quicky
Super speedy delivery
A great game, with short rounds, suitable for our 6 year old and even our 3 yeah old (with a bit of help). The unlock progression really helps bring in new rules and challenges, without overwhelming everyone from the very first game.
It’s not that easy finding a game that my dyslexic ADHD 10yr old son enjoys but this one ticks all his boxes! We love it!!
Fantastic price, swift delivery & EXTREMELY well packaged, which in the age of Amazon has become a forgotten art. Game arrived without a single dent or ding. Perfection & thank you.
