The story
The setup
One birthday. One coffin. Thirty is a cause of death.
Ten years ago, The Deceased was the demon twink of this scene, carried out of every club on somebody's shoulders. At midnight he turns thirty. Cause of death: Twink Death. So he's thrown his own funeral: a wake, a eulogy, a viewing of the body, and the reading of the will. The body takes compliments all night. The programme runs on time.
Something else is on the programme.
The mourners are a mess. There's a golden twink who has never once paid for a drink, and the handler who feeds him, fixes him, and never asks the question. There's a poppers twink handing out his own batch like party favours, and a catfish whose best angle is ten years old. Half the room has fucked the other half, and all of them are lying about it.
Eight to twenty mourners. All men. Not one of them sad.
Send the death announcement, pick a veil, and cry pretty. He dies at midnight. Some of his guests can't wait that long.
Twenty roles
Meet the mourners
Everybody came to say goodbye. Everybody's got a reason to mean it.
Twenty mourners, written for the scene that made them. An all-male cast, by design.
The core eight
Cast these first. They carry the mystery.
-
Baby
the golden twink
Thirty going on twenty, he's never paid for a drink or fought for anything.
-
Sis
the twink handler
Manager, bodyguard and publicist to one golden twink, and the best handler working.
-
The Deceased
the ex-demon twink
The scene treated thirty like a death, so he threw his own funeral.
-
Tank
the twunk
The biggest body in every room, with something he swears he'll read aloud tonight.
-
Doll
the angel
Twenty-four, openly in love with Baby, and he's walked every mourner here home.
-
Daddy
the money
He skipped twink entirely, opened a tab, and has never once closed it.
-
Pics
the catfish
A ten-year-old thirst trap still books him everything, so he's never caught candid.
-
Rush
the poppers twink
Twenty-two, maker of the scene's poppers, and the first one blamed for everything.
Twelve optional mourners
Add them as the guest list grows. A cancellation never breaks the night.
Tia
the second opinion
A decade, one client, zero incidents, and tonight he fully intends to win the funeral.
Widow
the merry widow
His twink left for a dental plan, and he's been in full mourning ever since.
Precious
the night off
Free of both warring handlers for one night, he plans to eat the whole buffet.
Father
the collar
Ordained online, collar worn tight, he wrote tonight's eulogy and absolves on request.
DJ
the resident
After a decade behind the decks, he's spending his first night off on the floor.
X
the ex
Half the scene's favourite couple, he vanished ten years ago and flew back expecting gasps.
Plus-One
the plus-one
Nobody's sure whose date he is, but he's read the whole room already.
Moon
the exorcism
The scene's healer, crystals and sage in hand, booked tonight to exorcise a funeral.
Reel
the content
He's filmed the scene for six years, and a living man's funeral is gold.
Constance
the happy ending
He turned thirty, shrugged, left for a garden, and came back tonight to glow.
Ash
the cautionary tale
A demon twink who quit young, he now preaches early retirement to the beautiful.
Fawn
the understudy
Nineteen and new in town, he studied this scene for years before Sis adopted him.
The twist
One of these mourners is a killer. And even they don't know it.
Which means nobody can give it away: no shifty eyes, no bad poker face, no host stuck on the sidelines holding the answer. Everyone plays, you included. The host starts the reveal, then hands the script to the killer, who reads out the rest and confesses to everything in front of everyone who voted wrong.
Take a peek
What lands in your inbox
Real pages from the file. Designed, written and ready to print. You bring the guests and the drinks.
02
Character Guides
Sent to each guest before the party, one file each, so nobody reads anyone else's secrets. Spill This, Bury This: everyone walks in knowing what to say and what to hide.
03
Action Cards
Dealt out through the night, so nobody's ever standing around with a drink and nothing to do.
04
Name Tags
Print, cut, stick. By the second drink nobody's answering to their real name.
05
Ghost Cards
Getting murdered doesn't end your night. The dead keep playing, and they've got opinions.
06
The Awards
Saved for after the confession. Chief Mourner goes to whoever names both the killer and the motive. Everyone else gets to argue about it.
From invite to confession
Here's exactly what happens
Four steps. The kit knows every one of them, so you don't have to.
-
Before the party
Cast it
Open Start Here, then read the Host Guide. It walks you through all of it: who to cast first and which Character Guide goes to which guest. Send them out early, so everyone has time to learn the part and pull together a look. Then let the group chat spiral.
-
On the day
Print it
The evidence, the action cards, the ghost cards and the awards, plus the name tags. Print, cut, set the table, chill the wine.
-
On the night
Play it
You read the opening and the murders. After every body drops, new evidence hits the table. Action cards keep everyone scheming, and ghost cards keep the dead in the game.
-
The finale
Solve it
Everyone votes on the killer and the motive. You tally the votes and start the reveal, then pass the script to the killer, who reads the rest: the reveal, the confession, and why. Then the awards, and the arguments about the awards.
Your part
Set the mood
The kit runs the night. You set the scene.
Soundtrack
The playlist
Press play when the first guest knocks, and let it run until the confession.
Dress code
Funeral black. Make it tight.
Sheer, mesh, leather, a veil if you've got the nerve. You're mourning a twink — dress like he'd have wanted.
Every Character Guide comes with a look to steal. Nobody shows up guessing.
Signature cocktail
The Last Rites
Vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur, shaken hard, three beans on top. Black as the dress code, and it'll keep you up for the reading of the will.
The recipe · makes one
- 2 ozVodka
- 1 ozFresh espresso, cooled
- ¾ ozCoffee liqueur
- ¼ ozSimple syrup, optional
- 3Coffee beans
Shake hard with ice until your arm hurts. Double strain into a chilled coupe. Three beans on top: one for the body, one for the will, one for whoever's next.
Before you accuse anyone
Asking for a friend
The things hosts ask before they invite anyone.
Not on the list? Email me and I'll answer it myself.
Questions answered? The body's waiting.
Can anyone play any character?
Over My Dead Body is written for an all-male cast, because the story demands it. No swapping or adapting — every role was written for exactly who's playing it.
Can we play with fewer than 8, or more than 20?
No. Eight to twenty, exactly. The eight core characters carry the mystery, so every one of them needs a player. The twelve optional mourners take you up to twenty, and after that there's nobody left to cast.
What if someone cancels?
Nothing breaks. If one of the twelve optional mourners drops out, the night carries on without them. If one of the eight core characters cancels, move an optional player into the role, or invite a new friend to take it. The Character Guide does the rest.
Do I have to write or improvise anything?
Nothing to write and no lines to memorise, just a character to get to know. The few scripted moments are read aloud. You read the opening and the murders and start the reveal, then the killer takes the script and reads the rest: the reveal, the confession and the motive. Everyone else arrives with secrets, grudges and drama to start, and plays them however they like. It's not a script. It's a stage, fully set. The performance is yours.
Does the host know who the killer is?
Only if you want to. The spoilers live in their own folder, so you can play in the dark with everyone else, and that's the best way to do it. Rather run the night knowing? Open it early. Your party, your call.
How dirty is it?
It's rude. It's filthy. That's the point. Every kit runs at the same heat — filthy innuendo delivered deadpan, and pretty explicit when it counts. Strictly 18+. The host pages stay clean and functional. The filth lives in the Character Guides, where it belongs.
How much prep, and what do I need?
Less than you'd think. One read of the Host Guide does most of it. Beyond the kit you need a printer, your guest list and drinks. The kit always knows what happens next; you get the glory.
How does the download work?
Everything comes as PDFs, in your inbox the moment you check out. Nothing ships, nothing to wait for. Send each guest their Character Guide before the party: they can read it on their phone or print it. Printing a spare set yourself is smart, for whoever forgets theirs. Everything prints at home on US Letter or A4 at 100%, and black and white prints fine.
Can we play over video chat?
No. It's built for one room: evidence on the table, accusations across it, and a confession to your face. Get everyone over.
Refunds?
Because it's an instant digital download, all sales are final — but if something's broken, missing, or won't open, email me at murdershebettadont@gmail.com and I'll help sort it out. Replies can take a little time, so open your files when they arrive, not the night of the party.
