Abstract: As someone who generally views video games and reading mystery novels as solitary pursuits, I have to confess that I don't fully understand the appeal of Hidden Agenda as a murder mystery party game. Sure, it's built around a taut murder mystery, but a gr...

Branching paths are significant, Easy accessibility through PlayLink, Vote for player traits
Too much weight put on a few timed sections, Hidden Agenda mode lacks real intrigue, Doesn't scale well to smaller groups, Major issue trying to continue a saved game
