About the book
What’s inside
This PDF how to guide is a practical, step-by-step guide to using ChatGPT (or another AI chat agent) as a brainstorming partner to help you build your own custom murder mystery party.
It shows you how to use AI to generate suspects, clues, victim and setting, then how to turn your ideas into a playable structure with rounds, and character dialogue. Because let's face it - AI cannot “magically” write a perfect game. You need a human in the loop to provide the right prompts to get it to deliver what you need it to.
This short guide also explains the common pitfalls and how to avoid them, and gives you clear prompts to help keep everything logical, solvable, and fun.
You’ll finish the process with a set of planning documents and prompts you can reuse to create new mysteries over and over again.
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO:
This guide does NOT magical - because despite what we'd like to believe - AI is not infallible and it doesn't yet create quite like a human will. This guide will get you ENOUGH of the way there to have a playable game. BUT it will not give you the nuances of a fully human written experience, or a playable game like you'd find on our website. But it will give you the prompts you need to have a successful party, custom written to you at a fraction of the price of a human doing it.
BE WARNED - you will need to do a lot of work, even with AI helping you along the way. But if you have 14 or so hours to create your own game with the help of AI - and just lack the skills to prompt correctly to get you there - then this will give you the basics you need to create a framework you can build upon.

Where is my order?
We have no machines in the office that handle distribution. All orders at Red Herring Games are handled and processed by real people and we always endeavour to ship orders within 48 hours.
If you received a dispatch confirmation email from us, we received your order and have shipped it.
So if it hasn’t arrived when you were expecting, it means, sadly, that your order may have fallen victim to “natural causes”.
Mail men occasionally drop packages in puddles, trains are occasionally robbed, boats sink, and conveyor belts sometimes chew up post.
If the order hasn’t arrived when you were expecting just get in touch so we can see if we can find out what has gone wrong and get a replacement to you ASAP!
International shipping can take as much as 21 days – however, if you need it quickly and fear it may have fallen victim to the postal gremlins, contact us and we will see what we can do to help!
Obviously if you ordered a downloadable product, we aren’t shipping that one to you – instead you’ll find that in your account ready and waiting for you.
Why are physical games more expensive to ship to the USA?
Physical goods (paper, ink, and boxes) are subject to international trade tariffs and customs processing fees. Because digital downloads are not "physical goods," they currently bypass these import taxes entirely.
