Murder Train

by Anon

You need at least 6 people to play Murder Train. It is best played outside at night.

1 person is selected to be the "murderer". They go somewhere to hide, out of sight of the rest of the group.

The rest of the group assembles themselves into a line. When you are in the line, you are ONLY allowed to look directly in front of you, at the back of the head of the person in front of.

The person at the very front of the line tells a ghost story while everyone else follows walking as quietly as possible. The only person allowed to make any noise is the person at the front.

The murderer meanwhile does whatever they can to stay hidden from the line walking around. The murderer gets up behind the train and taps the person at the back of the line on the shoulder. When you are tagged you go and hide in an agreed place.

If played quietly and properly, you should never be able to tell if you are at the back of the line. It is extra-creepy when the person who started at the front is the only one left and walking along telling a ghost story to themselves.

Usually the murderer makes his attack really scary for the last person standing, like bursting out in front of them.
