Murder Mystery Balance Patch
A new update to Murder Mystery has been deployed to all regions. This patch is to help further balance changes introduced in the recent Murder Mystery update.
Changes
- Increased XP coin cap to 50 (based on survey results)
- Increased murderer kill XP from 10 to 15
- Introduced murderer-specific XP coin cap (currently set to 20)
Developer note: It seems people like being able to collect more coins for more XP, but it has resulted in games being longer than we'd like. To help combat this, we have introduced a murderer-specific XP coin cap. However, to ensure murderers still have an opportunity to gain a good amount of XP, we have increased the XP per kill. Our hope is this will motivate murderers not to hold the game up. We will re-evaluate and tweak as necessary.
Map Changes
- Pigment: Cubes will no longer grant a bow on collection
- Pigment: The murderer can now see the cubes, but cannot interact with them
Developer note: We've heard from many players that the cubes granting a bow was too overpowered, making the games much harder for the murderer. Now, the cubes will only grant you an extra arrow.
Thank you for all your feedback so far! Your feedback helps us make changes like this, so keep it coming. If you have feedback, please let us know on our Discord or Forums.

Murder Mystery Update 🔍
Pick up your magnifying glass, it's time for a Murder Mystery update!
Changes
- Added epic and super coins that grant 3 and 6 coins respectively.
- When interacted with by a Sheriff, players' gravestones show how long ago the player was killed.
- Replaced the Sheriff's hat with a magnifying glass.
- The Murderer's throwable is now tap-to-throw (mobile improvement).
New Maps
- Pigment
- Remnants
- Chroma
Each map has unique features to discover.
Prestiging
Players that have reached the maximum level (100) can now prestige. Prestiging will reset your level to level 1, and grant you the following rewards:
- A special costume when you prestige for the first time.
- A prestige icon next to your name in chat, and above your player's head in the lobby.
- A hub title with a special icon to represent your prestige level.
- An exclusive avatar.
- 500 Quest Points.
Global unlocks (hub titles, costumes, and avatars) that you previously unlocked through leveling up will be kept, but you will have to unlock in-game unlocks again, by leveling up.
You can prestige up to five times, and each time you do, you will unlock a new prestige icon, and an additional hub title and avatar.
Developer note: We understand not all players wanted prestige added. However, all games with 100 levels will eventually get the ability to prestige. It is fully optional and does not affect gameplay.
Asset Revamp
Various custom models across all maps have been updated. This should improve performance and bring the visual style in-line with the rest of The Hive.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know on our Discord server or forums!

Murder Mystery Resource Pack Update
A new version of Murder Mystery has been released to all regions.
This version converts most in-game assets to a resource pack, improving performance, reducing "pink glitch," and laying the groundwork for future planned updates.
Changes
- Converted most game assets to be resource pack driven
- Added updated coin model, with spawn animations
- Added new, better-performing sheriff hat particles
- Moved sliding and pivoting doors to be client-side animated
We hope this update improves framerates while playing Murder Mystery. We also hope that Murder Mystery players will now see the "pink glitch" less often.
If you find any bugs, please report them on our forum.
